- Macan 4s, Mini Electric
I have 4 years experience with a mini electric and 3 years with a taycan sedan rwd. I never witnessed any electric motor whine with the mini. The taycan however is quite noisy at times. Especially at low speeds. If I put the backseats down it's really present. Is it exemplary or not? I don't know but for me there's a huge difference in motor noise between the mini and taycan.Perhaps for Porsche's system, but this car was singing annoyingly during a specific speed range at cruise and on/off throttle, just more noticeable off throttle. If thats normal for a Macan, it is going to be a deal breaker.
But I think I'm hearing here that this just may be a one off car. There are several discussions about noisy tires elsewhere, however.
As background, if it matters. I've been driving a Mini SE EV for near four years. So I'm familiar with how a BMW tech based EV drives, sounds, and feels. I don't recall the Mini singing to me. As the tires wear there is more and more noise, but thats across the board and not at a narrow speed range.. The VW ID.4 Pro I test drove awhile back doesn't sing nor the one my sister owns. Small sample size I know.
