No problem at all. It’s so stable that it makes you push a little harder than 39 km/h 🤣🤣🤣🤣

As all the EV the snow stay on headlight (since they are LEDs and no heat from the engine). I have to check if the radar is heated since it was completely dry…

A lot of snow accumulated in the space behind the front wheel (normal level suspension):

Nice! My Taycan was by far the best car I've ever driven in the snow. Absolutely rock solid all the time. My BMWs and Jags have always felt a bit squirrely.

Glad to hear good early results on the Macan!

This would be great news! As I have missed this very much on all my previous cars.

By the way, the new Macan also has a rear camera cleaner. You can activate this when reversing in the pcm. There is a 'button' next to the rear view. Very handy!

Why did you put your chains on the rear tyres? Its 4 wheel drive, isn't it better to put them on the front?
From the manual:

There are also other reasons: on Macan 4 the two electric motors are controlled individually, and almost in real time. The torque distribution is governed by the selected driving programs. In ‘Normal’ mode (that I use on snow or slippery surface), the rear-wheel drive is used as often as possible. In Sport and Sport Plus modes the drive on the front axle is engaged more frequently. In off-road driving mode, the Macan switches to all-wheel drive with the differential speed between the front and rear axles limited by a virtual centre-differential lock, which improves traction (info from the presentation doc I got and that are also online).

On the lower left of the dash you've got a snowflake symbol. Any idea what this implies? Heated front windscreen?

Hi Diego. Is the navigation display here from Google Maps or standard one?

How is your consumption in these temperatures/conditions?
Difficult to say since it was a way up only so generally it consumes more. In low temperature I noticed a +1/2% on a known trip
