New 4S Macan EV Video Review by “Anna on Roads”

Quite a short review, but I enjoyed it. Some comments on her video were quite critical about the Macan being "Audi crap", and objections to the price, especially with 'necessary' options added. As a [potential] newbie to the brand (I've ordered BMW's for 30 the past years), I recognise the options list is much more than owner flexibility, things like rear air bags not being standard is a bit of a joke.

My biggest concern remains reliability/bugs, something that is letting down many manufacturers of modern vehicles.

Hi, new to the forum, first post.
Unfortunately feels like the next paid review of the car.
Instead of showing you HER consumption in several situations. The SOC before and after a trip, etc. etc. she only tells you the "mandatory" figures provided by Porsche.
As I see it that only damages the brand on the long term.

Same as vomiting motor's torque instead of torque on wheel, etc. etc.

They don't comment the limitations on pre-climatize the battery on demand, the car doesn't come with a SIMPLE evse for your trips (any 3kW would do) given its a SUV and you may go to the countryside where you may leave your car charging overnight where 3kW can potentially give you 100-150km, etc etc.

Have you noticed the car on the dash is not your car but a random one?
Have you noticed wipers dont cover a small portion on the central lower side?
Have you noticed that HUD costs more than a full tier upgrade car (including software or even motorization) on most brands?
Have you noticed that rattling on the passenger seat? (its the seatbelt!)
Have you noticed they could use the taycan screen (with the touch buttons) but instead they used a smaller cheaper one?
The USB location...

Details, details, details.

This review feels more accurate to me:


Even though I'm not fan of one pedal driving.

This forum provides a lot of information on quality that should address your concerns. While you will certainly discover the niggies you also find a lot of enthusiasm. You have the advantage of the downward trend on issues and the ability to test drive which I recommend to help you with your options parsing which a lot of us early adopters did not have. Enjoy

FYI @KLMRCLL The Edmunds review is discussed on a separate thread https://www.macanevowners.com/forum/threads/edmunds-1-year-ownership-test-of-their-macan-4-ev.24180/
