Video Summary
Here is the summary of the YouTube video review:- The electric Macan is different from the gas version and makes sense as an update to the brand's best-selling car.
- The previous Macan came out a decade ago, but Porsche sold more of them last year than all of its 911s, Boxsters, and Caymans combined.
- Although the petrol Macan will remain on sale alongside it, the Macan Electric is better than the petrol version in most ways, starting with power.
- There are several versions of the Macan Electric, including an entry-level single-motor, rear-wheel-drive version with 360 horsepower, and a Macan 4 and 4S above that.
- The reviewer drove the Macan Turbo with 639 horsepower, which is the most powerful Macan ever.
- The acceleration is amazing; Porsche claims the car goes from 0 to 62 mph in 3.3 seconds.
- The electric Macan has a 100-kWh battery pack, and the Turbo version’s range is 367 miles. The range for the entry-level car is nearly 400 miles.
- The car's rapid charging can go up to 270 kW for a 0 to 80 percent charge in 20 minutes.
- A front trunk with 84 L of usable space is included, as well as a larger boot space with greater utility than earlier models.
- The interior is what one would expect from Porsche, with quality materials and updated technology such as customizable screens.
- While some may dislike the new exterior, it is thought to be better-looking than the older version of the Porsche.
- Other than the strong suspension, some possible concerns include how easy it is to refuel it and that regenerative braking requires use of the brake pedal.
- With optional rear-axle steering and limited-slip differential, the rear can be made to slide, but may not be worth the additional cost.
- The price of the Macan Turbo is £95,000; the test car with some upgrades cost £108,000. A basic rear-wheel drive Macan costs £70,000, and a petrol version costs £75,000.
- The Electric version does not ruin the handling, and drives like a 911. It may feel better and more comfortable than the petrol version.
- The steering is direct, fast, and accurate and the size of the car gives confidence on smaller roads.
