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.
