Yeah the standard interior is very nice. The materials are great (even the dash and the doors inserts), feels very high grade and not basic at all. The dash you almost can't tell isn't leather, its some kind of PU material with slight soft touch and very fine texture 99% leather like. Probably only issue if you leave it in the open sun / summer heat it might release some vapors inside, but I just hope they thought about this and heat tested it (the "new car smell" inside isn't exactly as full leather obviosly, but not PU typical smell either).

To be fair leather smells like leather because of the chemicals they treat it with so it isn’t so different from any other artificial material.

Consumption update:

Today did about 35-40km of city driving. Conditions were about 10-12c, heavy rain and wind (so quite nasty weather). Consumption was howering around 26kwh / 100km. All in all - extremely high. I used mainly normal mode.

On my i4 M50 this would be around 21kwh maximum, maybe less.

Let’s hope this drops further very soon

Another consumption update:

Today drove with Eco Plus mode turned on mixed highway (up to 135-140kmh) and city (anything between 30 and 50kmh), about 60% highway 40% city, over about 60km - consumption reduced to 18.8kwh /100km. Temps were same as yesterday around 11-12c and wet road plus rain.

The eco plus mode as good as disables the airco and you can’t control the temperature, but air is blowing and I think some very basic conditioning keeps working- it’s actually okay with outside temps like this inside is about 20c from my feeling. So you can see airco mode plays huge role in this car - about 7-8kwh difference

I had an i4 m50 and it's better tuned for city efficiency than the Taycan, and likely the Macan as well. This is also true of the iX. Just a different setup.

18.8/100km is very nice range in those conditions!

Monday I will drive to the office - it's 19.5km each way (approx) and my i4 M50 usually averages out 20.5kwh on such a drive, it's 80% highway and 20% city. My last drive in the i4 was last wednesday and that's what I've gotten. So Monday I will do that same road (little to mixed traffic usually, as I leave after main traffic has ended around 10:00 AM). Let's see!

Appreciate you posting your results!

New day - new pic and new consumption figures. We are offically down to 20.8-21kwh/100km over the latest several drives. So false alarm and all is good!

That's a great pic and makes me super excited for my Ice Grey Turbo delivery in January (mid October build date).

What is you experience with the speed limit warning signal? Is it easy to turn off?

 

[Diego]

@Devmac
It’s annoying! Can’t see how this could improve safety (at least in Italy after road works they don’t remove the sign so there are still 30 km/h limit on high speed road …)
I think that I will assign the warning on/off to the diamond button in the wheel.
but it’s easy also to use the switch on the 3 panels view of the center screen.

Do you have the standard LED headlights or the MATRIX LED?

These are the standard LED lights, if I'm not mistaken even the standard ones are adaptive though (need to test this in a night drive)

My consmuption has been dropping steadily - here's a result of a day's drive, it was a lot of highway and city both, I'd say 70% highway, 30% city, but there was plenty of traffic as well, hence the average speed is lower. It was sunny and around 15.5c (so slightly better weather for a change).

Overall 17.9kwh and later it dropped to 17.8kwh / 100km is immensely impressive. I had some seat and steering wheel heating on at the beginning of the rides as well
