Macan 4S
Country flag
Picked up my 4s at November 7th.
I've taken very short trips so far. I hope to do something longer in the coming weeks.

My Macan:
Volcano Grey Metallic with Exterior mirrors, Door release levers and Sideblades painted in Black 🥰

20-inch Macan S Wheels :blush:
Leather Package in Black
Comfort Seats front (14-way)
Panoramic roof system
Rear-Axle Steering :clap:
Adaptive air suspension :clap:
Matrix LED Headlights
Privacy glass
Surround View incl. Active Parking Support
Porsche InnoDrive with Active Lane Keeping :clap:

First little experience:
For reference, my last car was a BMW 530e.

On the uneven streets of my city, the car shows itself very well.
The rear axle steering really makes a difference. I can make much tighter turns
On the highway the innodrive system is really fantastic. Although it still had very few km, I drove a section of highway with it running and it behaved very well, both when cornering and keeping its distance from the car in front.

Sorry I don't have much feedback yet... Not much time to enjoy it yet.

I have a question regarding rear axle steering and winter conditions. Will it benefit also performance on ice and snow? Positive, negative or neutral vs. only front axle steering?

In a quick search, I found this

" Canadian winters can be pretty brutal. We’re all aware of the benefits of four-wheel driving in the snow, but four-wheel steering can be equally helpful. If you’re stuck in a patch of snow or hit ice while driving, four-wheel steering can help you re-gain control more quickly potentially saving you from an accident, with accompanying repairs. No one like to see their vehicle on the back of a tow truck !! "

Congrats! car looks great.
you had to spec these on your 4S?
what is the "privacty glass" as this is standard on the US spec. Is thajust the rear window tint?
i'm pretty sure the Surround View is standard on the S as well? did you have to spec that?

Both privacy glass (dark tint to rear) and surround parking are options on UK spec

Great build - looks fantastic!
Wondering if you could comment on cabin noise levels - especially tire and wind noise. I assume you did not option thermally & noise insulated glass?

Very nice, looks like the same as my config, but I keep waffling on color. I'm also thinking STD chrome window surrounds.

Yes. They are both options on the 4S
And the privacy is just the rear window tint

You are right, I don't have thermally & noise insulated glass .

For now, no complains on noise. :)

The car is fantastic !

Congrats, @nalves! I have almost the exact same spec arriving in the U.S. in early December except that I added seat belts and compass dial in Bordeaux red. Looks great and glad to hear that you like the RAS and Innodrive which I was on the fence about when submitting my order.

You may have one the of the very first 4S deliveries! I’m interested to hear your thoughts about the 4S acceleration without using launch control. I test drove a 4 this weekend and hope the 4S has instant acceleration similar to my Tesla model Y (closer to the Macan Turbo) since the 4 had a much more gradual acceleration.
