Keen to know if this is intentional or we have a software issue...

When I turn the 'mode' setting on the steering wheel, it only shows 'Offroad, Normal, Sport' in the dashboard display i.e. no 'Sport +' BUT does show 'Sport +' on the centre console screen. Basically, I can't get to 'Sport +' via the steering wheel control, but can from the main screen in the centre.

This appears at odds with videos I've seen on YouTube but wanted to check if it's a Macan 4 thing....?

Thanks in advance for any other experiences.

This is odd. If you optioned Sports Chrono then you get Sport+ Drive Mode as shown here. Then the Mode Dial screen should have Sport+ as an option.

There is Sport+ for the suspension only if you didn't option the Sports Chrono package. That's different from the Sport+ drive mode which adjusts throttle response and steering.
None of the modes have any effect on steering ratio. Unlike other brands, Porsche does not change steering weight with modes. Any change to steering feel is simply a result of increased throttle sensitivity and less computer nanny.

Sport+ for the eMacan alters throttle response, suspension, and PSM (traction control). Sports Chrono also gets you PSM Sport, which is between fully activated and fully deactivated.

I have a Macan 4 and that is the same. The active air suspension lowest setting… sports plus is only available via central console as no other settings change(?). Having tried it a few times on UK roads………. I’d like to keep my teeth.

Do you have Sport Chrono package? I think the Sport+ mode comes with Sport Chrono for Macan 4.

No I don’t have the package; the chrono package gives extra settings other than suspension. From the central console with air suspension you can get a sport plus low low suspension setting…….. on my local roads including highways it feels brutal and I stuck to standard size wheels (too many awful purchase experiences in my youth putting oversized fancy wheels on cars never designed for them)

Quite right @RichardM
Standard 20" are good size, big enough and a perfect fit for a car of this size. And they look far better in real than in configuration. Good for range too.
