Surprised by Tow Hitch

[DuckMan]

I'll try tomorrow and see. Don't think so though.

Are you talking about the gap vertically between the license plate and the hitch?
If so, that has to do with the configurator showing an EU plate (skinnier but longer plates) vs the NA ones (taller and shorter).

Do you lose the foot release of the trunk when you spec your Macan EV with a tow hitch?

You do not lose the foot release when you spec the tow hook.

You have to enable under the locking without key options. Not enabled by default. Foot raises and lowers it nicely.

these are pictures from an EU car. Saw this one from my client.

EU configurator says tow hitch actually costs 7km of range. Not that this really matters but could it be due to the worse aerodynamics due to the opening? Is that fully closed when no hitch is installed?

This is the tow bar hole on my Macan,....unbelievable; collects all the dirt, not to mention the possible turbulence and/or loss of efficiency over long distances,...is it possible that Porsche hasn't thought of a plug, perhaps one that can be inspected, but to close this enormous hole?....on a car 140K seems like the minimum to me..

I totally agree, in the meantime I don’t think airflow and so as dirt will go into that cavity.
it’s just amazing to deliver cars with hole which is not needed to do something …

Do you have this hole even if no hitch is installed?

@MatC21 Yes I do,….; no hitch installed, but a great hole for no reason
