The Ambiguously Grey Turbo

[USMA81]

If there’s one thing I’m a bit “meh” about is the integrated nav. I thought it would be better given the Android Automotive and our Volvos excellent Google integrated nav. The main thing I look for is a clear indication of distance to destination and my battery level on arrival. I don’t see that the native nav shines in this regard, it would show the expected percentage at the final destination in a small box at the very far right, but not distance and percentage to next charging stop. I want that info right in front of me so I can monitor the progress of the trip. I hope they update to have CarPlay be able to read SoC like they added to the Taycan.

You may already have discovered this, but if you tap on the tile in the upper right corner of the nav screen (with a destination previously entered), an expanded route screen opens. I think this is what you’re looking for: more route information, including intermediate stops, states of charge, distances.

One month in, 1000 miles. Man I love this car. There aren’t a lot of people on here who just post “enjoying the Macan, no issues to report”, you’d be forgiven for thinking that the model is a problematic mess. And maybe some people feel that way. I could nit pick a few things, but for someone who was used to driving turbo Golfs , Audi S4s, BMW M3s, and then somehow ended up in Minivan and large SUV land for a decade… such a breath of fresh air.

I took it out in the rain today, no problem with wipers, they work great. Used the heated steering wheel for the first time. Got the ski rack delivered and ready, will put that on next month. Winter wheels ordered, listed my old winter set from the iX.
After a drive like that, I’d probably just relax with some tea and enjoy the moment
As I exited the car just now I was marveling at how satisfying the interior door handles feel. They don’t feel mechanical, they require no effort, but at the same time they feel natural if you give it a good pull.

Sounds like you’re really enjoying it, and that’s what matters. Funny how people mostly post when something’s wrong, so it skews the perception a bit. That jump from minivan/SUV life back into something like a Macan must feel great.
Those little details like door handles and interior feel make a big difference day to day too.
