Ford Kuga 2.5T (Stage 1 tuned @240PS),Macan 4S ordered

You should add the 230v outlet, it’s useful and almost free.
I'm just about to call my SA asking him to dump the outlet from my order.With only 150W maximum capacity,what electrical devices may use it?

2025 Macan Turbo Papaya (soon)
Country flag
Here a configuration in Papeye and Brun truffle
https://porsche-code.com/PSMXW3G7
Perhpas a better value
l had also ordered a Papaya Turbo with Truffle Brown interior. My thought process was similar in the sense that I could upgrade from 4S to Turbo for an extra ~£10k given most options cost a bit less or come as standard with Turbo. This is my configuration.

I say it again, there's absolutely no guarantee the Papaya will be available upon order placement by the dealer.
I was told by my SA that Papaya would be discontinued at the end of March so I'm afraid @Fly4ever is right.

It would be better at charging big laptops than the USB C ports. Also would power an electric ice/heat chest, big ones draw under 100W. I have some ski gear with battery heaters that I recharge in the trunk.

Honestly I would have been happy with a 12v socket. You can get USB PD chargers for 12v and most ice chests have both 12v and AC cords.

I realised that for nearly the same price without the oak green color and without the Burmeister system and some less leather , that I shoud get the Turbo

Bad colour choice - papaya is just awful.

Decide if you want more power or not.

Obviously, a lesser optioned car and moving up the range is a wiser step to take particularly if resale value is a consideration.

Wait for the GTS model which no doubt will surface late next year and will be positioned between the 4S and Turbo.

As usual @W1NGE is adamant 😊
Green&truffle is a more standard combo @Porsche.
range vs power is a decision to make, obviously.
Depending on my usage, the Turbo has enough range even with 22’’, so with the standard 20’’, it will be better.
The real differences with the Turbo are the power (will you need/use it) and embedded options for the base price (Including minor stylish things).
Woth truffle&summerwood you lose one of the Turbo related « gift », meaning black leather with deviated stitching and some nice colored plastic parts, and carbon inserts.
Even the larger back wheel archs are linked to the 22’’ rims… not to the trim level.

A question : does the boot size of the turbo is lesser than a regular version with the same audio system ? (boot size is very important for me, because both me and my wife plays golf, and with the bag and the trailers it use a lot of boot space)

Bonjour, je suis française et j’ai reçu mes 4 il y a moins d’un mois. Je vous propose d’ajouter l’aération des sièges qui est vraiment utile en été en France. Après le reste c’est une question de goût mais votre configuration est très belle. Ps : la voiture est vraiment fantastique !

No.
with standard sound system: maximum capacity
with Bose or Burmester: minimum size
no matter the trim

Same and will only vary depending on the audio system installed due to the subwoofer. Most space with Sound Plus.

I have tried saturday for the second time a extended leather aventurine green Macan 4. It has the leather decorative insert, and I was a little disappointed by the result. I will not recommend this expensive option.
I also tried the Bose sound system, and it was after reset the setting to neutral and stereo , rather good, but not any better than my Harman Kardon system. I am happy to have upgraded to the Burmesteir system.
I also find that the car was not so silent , but It lacked the acoustic glass option.
