So how have u been liking the contrast between the gloss black blades and mirrors and the ice grey? Waiting to get mine with same choices (plus gloss back door handles)
The contrast between IG and gloss black is great.
Wish the lower trim in Macan 4 was also glossy.

Truffle! Truffle! Looks great to me, love that we all have different tastes, but still dig the classic club interior look.

On the door panel, are all the brown bits in leather? The configurator just mentions center door panels in leather. However, with the Macan Ev having a recessed bit behind the center panel, under the door trim and the lower part of the door card in the club brown color.

Picked up my Macan 4 yesterday, believe this was the first one in Poland.

My choice was Ice Grey with Truffle Brown interior and I was quite nervous about the outcome.

Wasn't sure how the TB would look in real life and how it would match the IG.

Turns out the TB interior is a killer, looks super nice in person.
Here are some pics and my first impressions.

1) Ice Grey - this color can look very different depending on conditions. Lightning, outdoor/indoor, bright sun, rainy day and pictures vs real life. In general this color is very interesting and in the right light it looks stunning (dirty and in rain looks unimpressive). There were two IG cars next to each other and looked quite different like I wouldn't believe it's the same color.

2) The same goes for Truffle Brown. It looks much, much darker in person and I would say it's even harder to capture in pictures then IG. Overall it's a killer and the way it blends with black interior parts is much better compared to other models. The steering wheel is black, the headliner is black, you can setup a brown theme for all the screens and LEDs that looks fantastic. The smell and quality is next level. Overall it maks the car feel much more premium. As for how it blends with IG - I'm happy with it, was a bit worried but it's dark enough (even in bright light) to look good.

3) I tested Macan Turbo on track and was a bit worried Macan 4 would lack power. I come from ICE and this is most definately not the case. The car seems very responsive and fun to drive, should be more then enough for most ppl.

4) Air suspension is interesting in terms the car behaves very nice on uneven surface but on the other hand it's quite stiff and allows for some spirited driving. The car can be soft and firm when needed. Would be interesting to compare it to standard suspension.

5) Initial power consumption is scary @ 36 kw/100km but I was told it does not recuperate for the first hundred kilometers to put some wear on brakes. We'll see.

6) The infotainment is great. Very smooth, intuitive, fast and easy to use. This was a nice surprise as early reviews were not all positive.

Overall so far I'm impressed with this car.

I would strongly suggest seeing some cars and samples in person if you want custom paints/interiors. I chose the IG/TB combo only after seeing this on 911 the dealer happened to order for a customer. It looked very good (except for the brown steering wheel which was not my thing but Macan has black wheel). In Macan it also looks very good in person but I'm not sure I would order it based on pictures alone.

Congrats! It's a beauty. I've got a 4 on order with the Ice Grey Metallic but I went with the Leather Interior in Black/Limestone Beige instead. I tend to like lighter interiors. Excited to take delivery and hoping I made the right choice.

You did. My Taycan was that color scheme and I ordered my Macan in it as well.

It's a super great combo.

Congrats!
I will pick up my Macan 4 on Monday, it is Ice grey as yours, but my wife (she is an architect) asked me to go for the red interior. I saw a 911 with the same combination, and I can say it is gorgeous. A bit extreme may be… Anyway I can’t wait!

Regarding the OP comment that Truffle Brown looks much darker in person than in pictures and way so more than on the configurator, I found this video for anyone who wants to see what it looks like when the sun in not directly on it. Personally I love the color (though will not choose it for me).

If you do not have time and/or inclination to watch the Petrol Ped Taycan video, this picture sums up Truffle Brown nicely.

Wow, the Truffle Brown looks great and is WAAAY darker in that picture than the washed-out unattractive color I’ve seen in other online photos!

Hum...the truffle brown almost looks like copper in the inside shot and tends to take on a more orange looks in the light with the light exterior. I wrestled with that color a lot and in the end feel that the Ruby exterior or a dark exterior (black, jet black or even a dark green) would be best with that so I opted out because I wanted a lighter colored car. I took some color queues from Maserati when I tried to compare. If Porsche had an exterior color like the one below, then maybe the TF would work. In-short TF is a really hard color to pair up with IMHO. Not that I dislike it as you have it but it would not be a top combo for me...but maybe in person I would see differently.
