New Porsche Macan Review – has it lost appeal?

Sell your automobile totally free with :

's small SUV has actually had a significant revamp for 2024, and there's one crucial difference – it's gone totally ELECTRIC! Now that might sound like a bad thing to some but being Porsche has actually gone all out on the engineering of the brand-new Macan.

Let's have a more detailed look shall we. On the outdoors Porsche has done what they typically do and kept the style quite similar to the previous car however still made some notable changes. Starting at the front the grille has been switched for a larger lower air intake, and the brand-new headlights are almost precisely the same as the Taycan.

From the side there's not a substantial difference to the present Macan but you can start to see one big modification they have in fact made. Which of course is the back, you now have a much more squat looking rear-end which helps with the aerodynamics of the automobile, whether it looks much better or not, we'll leave that as much as you.

On the inside the brand-new Macan is once again pretty similar to the Taycan, but that's no bad thing is it? The driver gets a high resolution curved screen as well as a large infotainment screen in the centre of the dash. Even the front passenger gets their own screen that is perfect for seeing on.

Then of course eliminating the ICE variation of the Macan does has some benefits, one of those being, efficiency. The entry-level dual-motor can produce 408hp, while the top-of-the-range Turbo can put down 640hp and an mind flexing 1,130 Nm of torque – that's 80Nm more than the Taycan Turbo S! Porsche likewise claims it needs to be able to hit 60mph in simply 3.3 seconds but we'll see what it can really carry out in this video!

The brand-new Macan will begin at around ₤ 70,000, rising to around ₤ 95,000 for the Turbo edition. However is it worth it ?! You'll require to stick with Mat and see on your own!

    Making airbags optional is literally telling your customers that you don’t care about them but just about their money. Which we all know is the case but it’s a pretty bold move to pull out in the open.

      Don’t confuse the side seat airbag (option) with the side curtain airbag (standard). I think Matt has confused these too. The curtain is far more important than the seat option. 11:48. All the various global safety tests are done WITHOUT the optional airbags

      I think it’s an EU thing, that’s not an available option on North American Macan EV. It would be interesting to know why, Europe typically has smaller cars and lower speed roads and therefore lower safety requirements for passengers maybe? Correct me if I’m wrong.

    I’m happy to see everyone caught on to the airbags being optional. It’s not just Porsche; it’s literally all the big German brands money pinching their customers. I visited both of the Audi and Mercedes configurators online and saw that they were even charging for airbags. Literally outrageous, charging money for a life saving thing that should be standard.

    We must put pressure on these companies to give us basic things standard, especially when it comes to safety systems and assisted driving technology.
