New Macan 4 EV delivery - Netherlands - Ice Gray Metallic - Offroad Pack. First Consumption Figures

[max83]

Thanks for the write ups, stunning car! I’m looking to pull the trigger on my first Porsche a 4s in Ice Grey or Volcano, but almost certain on ice!
I’ve added body colour sideblades and roof rails, but seriously considering the off road body colour pack now after seeing your car.
Love the chalk but want the headrest crests that can only be added to leather and don’t feel the full chalk leather is worth the extra cost - better used on other bits! How does your interior keep? With 2 kids I’m a bit worried I will live to regret!

@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.

It's a shame to have to use the diamond button to turn off the speed warning instead of activating the 360 view.

PORSCHE THIS IS INTERESTING TO YOU: with very little programming code you could use the diamond button with more functions: short press, long press, two short presses...

Porsche showroom had an Ice Grey Macan there and the interior was in Blackberry. In person, Blackberry looked stunning. Wife was completely sold on it.

Colours in the configurator don't do justice. I don't like darker colours generally like black (too dull) but if you get a chance, see Blackberry in person. Probably the best interior colour.

We had chosen Crayon, but now want to change to Blackberry, but might not be possible this late.

Just back from local Porsche showroom and see what you mean about blackberry. It is definitely a lot nicer than the configurator and a new problem to factor in to configuration!
Any, views on sport chrono for those who added? Can see the benefit with ICE car but on the fence for electric!?

For now hard to tell how the interior will last, but I never wear jeans and always light colored chinos so for me no issue. My kid rides in the booster seat still so also nonissue. I think it will be fine if you just clean any stains right away (keep some wet tissues etc in the car at all times)

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

Many thanks for the updates! I struggle to find where to activate the Eco Plus Mode (even my car dealer doesn't know haha). Could you please help me out? Thx!

There seems to be only one Eco mode that is called Eco in the car but Eco Plus in the manual, but there are no 2 separate Eco modes.

My guess is that the reason for confusion is that Taycan has Eco and Eco Plus associated with Range mode. However, Macan EV somehow does not offer Range mode so there is no Eco Plus mode.
