Hi All,

Time seems to be quick, I think there was mention of the first UK models arriving for test drive and viewing around about now?
Anyone had any updates in the UK?

Cheers

I got shown all over demonstrator turbo on Tuesday and booked test drive for next Wednesday on Macan 4. Which was due today. They said test drives were starting yesterday.
Porsche Colchester.
They also had several customer cars in showroom so saw several examples.
Aventurine Green with off road pack and off road wheels looked stunning.
Was also offered a cancelled order for immediate delivery but didn’t match my spec closely enough.

Test drove a Macan 4 on Wednesday at Porsche Silverstone.

I was handed the keys and given a 1hr opportunity to test drive on my own.

Key take away point, it drives more like a "car" then any other EV I have driven before.

The Heads Up Display is amazing and wife definitely wants to add that to the option list.

Demonstrator was on 22" wheels. Noticed quite a bit of road noise and hoping the smaller wheels might address this issue.

Drove on some B roads and I was impressed with the driving dynamics, probably helped by the Air suspension.

The android based Nav System is really responsive and leaps ahead of any other systems out there IMO.

Unfortunately this demonstrator did not have the Sports Chrono Package, so no option to try Sports Plus or Launch Control.

Anyone interested in the 4S, they potentially have some allocations for delivery by year end. On the 4, its 2nd quarter of 2025 at the earliest.

I'm definitely sold. Just need to finalise the config!!
