    21" Turbo Wheels - Photos / Images on Macan EV?

    No. On the UK configurator , on the Turbo they are 20' standard fit with 21' same design a no cost option if you dont mind reduced range. On a Macan 4 you can only 'upgrade' to this design of wheel with a 21' wheel. The 20' wheel is not available in this design on the Macan 4 from the factory...

    PASM worth it?

    Your mum will always drive it in normal mode with the suspension at normal height. Will she remember to drop it to get in and out? It doesn’t lower on entry! You have to get in and turn it on to lower it which sort of defeats the object I am pretty sure when you park up a Taycan it returns to...

    PASM worth it?

    Excellent, just clarifications There has been extensive and endless confusion on Taycan Forum between PASM and Air Sus The 2WD Taycan with Steel Sus always had PASM unlike Macan where it can be specced separately The Air Sus on Macan and Taycan always includes PASM

    PASM worth it?

    The most comfortable setting with PASM is NORMAL. That is what you get with the standard suspension. SPORT, SPORT PLUS and Off Road modes wont make it more comfortable Dont bother with PASM unless your mum is going to do track days. Get Air sus for greater comfort. Air Sus is the only way you...

    PASM worth it?

    PASM does not mean you can adjust ride height, it just changes the dynamics of the suspension Steel Spring Suspension with Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) Electronically controlled active damping system with four manually selectable modes ("Normal", "SPORT", "SPORT PLUS*" und...

    Single display has better integration on the dash.

    Thanks for that. I love any post that shows a negative side to spending on extras. I try to minimise extras to maximise value. It always amuses me that the central screen is not exactly hard to reach for the passenger and is actually easier for a passenger to operate than the passenger screen...

    Macan EV at the NY auto show

    You can flip it for a compass? Just as utterly useless as the crappy plastic stopwatch but less ugly. Sports Chrono avoidance is one of the largest motivating factors for me to stick with the Mac 4. Along with the £30k! What’s the price difference in NZ? NZ$60k?

    Macan's Cousin the Q6 - read for info

    Absolutely astonished that, in the UK, the base (at launch) Q6 quattro is exactly the same base price as the Macan 4. It will have more bits on for sure but this makes the choice for me absolutely no choice at all. Q6 even with extra bits would have to be 10k cheaper than the Mac for me to even...

    Electric Macan EV orders top 10K already and Porsche sticks to EV sales target

    I was told March when I ordered in Jan Last week my salesman said 'absolutely no idea' All UK Porsche UK sales staff spent February driving production models in Portugal so they exist and it cant be long

    Taycan vs Macan ?

    The Macan 20 wheels are narrower at the front and fractionally wider at the rear than Taycan 19s so they look better with practically no difference to efficiency. So doesnt matter 19s not available. All the stats and tests so far show the Macan with a marginally better range. Lets call it the...

    Taycan vs Macan ?

    Not for me. I live near a posh private school and there are 25+ Taycans on the school run. Much fewer Macans despite there still being quite a few and it’s been out a decade.

    Taycan vs Macan ?

    Macan 4 all the way and for me it’s all about the price. £30,000 saving. Woo Hoo. I am shallow. Need the practicality too but if the Taycan was 30k cheaper I wouldn’t give a shit about the lack of practicality and it’s a better, prettier car. However I spend 99% of my time cruising or...

    Rear Wiper or not…

    +1 No wiper Rainex good. if it’s covered in snow, wipe it of before you get in. No launch cars had the wiper. Porsche thinks it’s FUGLY too.

    Why not animal free ?

    The only leather thing in base trim in a Macan 4 is the steering wheel in UK. You can option a Race Tex heated sports wheel for leather free. You have to add full leather interior for the HUD for no reason I understand. I would love the hounds tooth Taycan interior in the Macan. The Macan...

    Porsche EVs don't hold their value - should we get a discount ?

    The new Macan will hold its value, at least at first, it might even sell for a premium initially. Everyone wants an SUV despite what Taycan Forum purists (like me!) think. Everyone in the market for a Macan has off road parking and space for a charger so the market is not constricted by that...

    Macan EV deposits / reservations

    That doesn't look good! What were the other details? GFV at the end? APR? I am going to pay cash for my Macan My last Taycan PCP was 70% residual after 2 years and 5.9 APR Those days have gone

    From I-Pace to Macan 4

    +1 Just go and sit in some Porsches. Doesn’t need to be a Macan EV. They are all similar. And superb. Even the base 8 way seats will be much more comfortable than the I pace. You never get to try these because showroom cars are all up-specced. They are ergonomically above all other...
