This is not new. Both Taycan and Macan use blended braking. The regen button on the Taycan steering wheel only controls the passive regen when you lift the foot off the pedal, not the amount of regen you get from braking.
Presumably, the Macan does the same, but doesn’t have the button for...
Ok, I have to admit, especially the Turbo looks way better than I previously thought. The front in particular looks much more like a Taycan SUV than the impression I got from it earlier.

I feel that the problem with Porsche's software is that they take an interesting concept, develop it until it's 75% of a working product, and then they botch it up with some absolutely terrible design-by-committee nonsense until it's practically unusable.

2. With 420km of range at ~80% it has a full range of 525km in Normal mode.
3. The new (presumably Android automotive based) PCM apparently has an...

I really can't decide what I think about this car. I don't think there's anything in particular that I overly dislike about it, but compared to the Taycan it just feels so bland. There's practically nothing I actually find...
