Door closing issue

Uploading these here for feedback. I am still not sure if this is normal behaviour.

No it's not normal...

that would drive me crazy. I hope it's an easy fix!

do the door seals look seated properly?
does the door latch/catch line up?
door trim hitting the dash board, door sill or anything else?

Definitely not right.

Normally, it's just a matter of adjusting the anchor bracket in the B-pillar, or the lock in the door. A suitable torx screwdriver should suffice. I don't have a Macan to confirm, sorry!

On top of it, if it doesn't shut properly when I am inside, the car shuts down and I need to turn it on manually after shutting the door properly.

let the dealer fix it.. the doors are heavy and they use a dolly/stand to hold the door to make adjustments.

Rear doors close with much less force. So the problem is only with the front doors.

My new macan 4 initially had a similar issue with the driver’s side door. I believe it only happens when all windows and doors are closed, because the driver’s side window doesn’t automatically lower far enough (compared to the passenger side door) to allow air to escape the cabin. I asked the SA about this and he said that all of the macan EV‘s he’s seen are like this, but I got one of the first ones delivered to that dealership, so I don’t think he’s seen very many. Two weeks on, the issue seems to happen less frequently, or maybe I’m just getting used to it and closing the door harder.

Did you try to calibrate the window?

Very insightful! I feel the same way. Not sure if the door fixed itself or I got better at closing it....
