Any Electric car with "turbo" in its name is a scam.

You should start showing the cars at night. Lights are a big part of how cars look.

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. I am fine if things like different leathers and wood trims are optional extras but an airbag? Unbelievable

Having to pay extra for an airbag in a car it's like going to the pub ordering Fish and chips and when the food comes finding out that the chips were an extra! completely ridiculous.

people wont steal this headlights now

That gimmicky electric charging flap costs more than the rear passenger's side airbag that could potentially save a child's life lol

Drove past a Lambo dealership yesterday. All they had in the window were their SUVs. Seems so sad that most buyers who walk into a super car dealership leave with a van.

£100k for that model before options? No thank you.

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.

That front looks like it belongs on a different car

For those asking where this was filmed. He started in Port Gallice, at Juan les pins (south of France), went through Antibes, along the Route du bord de mer. The winding road was between La Colle sur Loup and Pont du loup, to finish at Nice airport. Awesome to see my hometown in your video Carwow, thank you!

1:56 I really really dislike this double headlight design many new cars start to adopt. Am I the only one? This Porsche, the BMW i7, many Citroën models as Mat said himself. It looks horrible to me, and after almost 2 years I still didn't get used to it from the i7.

My first Porsche was electric. It was remote controlled and it was awesome.

Putting 'turbo' in an electric car's name feels like a paradox. It's like selling safety but making airbags optional-these features should come standard if you care about your customers, not just their wallets!

Hi. I think many people watch your movies where is metric system km, litres etc. Could you add small text when talking about the range or fuel consumption showing it in metric system? Similar like Doug DeMuro chanel does. Thanks.

2.9 miles per kWh is really good for how you were driving. I probably skimmed over it, but it looks like it has pretty big tires so altogether it’s good range

That front looks weird.I like old Macan more.

Ah yes, *Turbo* Macan, More like *Turboless macan*

2:00 honorable mention the Jeep Cherokee started sales in Nov 2013 with the separate LED and headlights

Still waiting for Matt to talk about a Porsche or any sports car for that matter without bringing up his GT3 RS…

I just don't like the dual headlight design - kind of like on the BMW i7. Why couldn't they just have gone with the upper, Taycan headlight part??

More ‘Boat Wow’ segments please. The boat snapshot was great.

My cupholders don't have ambient lighting. I now feel empty inside 😢

Where is this place shot from? Looks amazing.

They should call it "Super Charged" vs "Turbo", at least it's a word play on "charged"

They ruined the front sleek design by making it boxy

The liftoff regen is such a misunderstood concept even manufacturers like Porsche can't be honest about it. Regen on accelerator release is a way to remove the lag between acceleration and deceleration: you absolutely *can* coast with regen even at its maximum setting, you simply need to be more precise with the throttle, which is why on the motorway you would lower the regen, while in town or country roads you would increase the regen effect. Obviously if you drive more sportily you would prefer less regen so you have a wider accelerator curve and you would use the brake anyway.

Hey Matt! Big Fan of your videos, been watching it since you're Auto Express era or even earlier than than! If i may ask a favor. WOULD YOU PLEASE REVIEW THE LEXUS IS!!! Nevermind the IS300, IS350, or IS500, either one will just do! You've got the ES, UX, NX, RX even the GS but c'mon the IS is a well deserve car to be reviewed by you. Im sure the views will be totally worth it! Cheers!

why you don't throw the shelf to the sea?

The rear design without a spoiler is just too weird for me

11:50 The option is for rear torso airbags which very few cars have and it isn't neccessary for a good safety rating. The curtain head protection airbag is standard.

Hey carwow, great content as always. Where in France was this shot?

The south coast of France already looking insanely beautiful this time of year

I would pay extra to put back the traditional Porsche logo on the turbo

This style of content and breaking down the interior are absolutely fantastic. Everything was so smooth and clean.

do any suvs in this class have rear windows that roll all the way down? maybe that kia cube?

6:13 "And while you are down there darling" 🤣 Matt, don't ever change ❤

Did Porsche borrow BMW designers for a project, or is it a rule that EV crossovers have to be hideous? This is iX levels of being hard to look at.

Hi Mat, should consider drag racing the W212 E63 vs the F10 M5 vs the C7 RS6/RS7 that'd be insane

Those front light designs reminds me of the Renault Kwid😂. I think they should've used a more advanced and slimmer design for the actual lights, theu so big it looks like halogens could fit

Front looks like a big old school Renault 5 turbo

you should try the sound system in the car, speakers and sound quality

I wanted to see the review on the BMW IX but couldn’t get it because I’m using my phone to watch this particular video😂😂

I'm not sure what you are saying about the grill at the front. Being electric, it does need air flow for the radiators cooling the battery pack.

Just keep the 911 with ICE please! 😢❤

Yes being an ICE owner of the precious model. Am apprehensive of this new EV variant. Exterior styling wise is ok. The Macan EV control knobs are black plastic in the video, while on the out going Macans are metal.

This place was stunning, should film more in this area. Where is it?

It gets a D.....for depreciation 😊

Remember the days when the Chavy little mk3 fiesta owners would slap a 'Turbo' badge on their car thinking they were cool.... here we go again!

I understand that the option for side airbags may not be necessary for every purchase, especially for vans, which are commonly used as company cars in Denmark due to the associated tax benefits. Given the high cost of cars in Denmark, it's practical to have the flexibility to save money where possible.

I currently choose cars after searching by engine. That is, I like six-cylinder cars for both everyday use and special use. Of course, I also like some cars with a V8 or V12, but I personally don't want to drive a four-cylinder car. That means if I were shopping for the old Macan, I wouldn't choose the Golf GTi engine, unless I was shopping for my wife, and would choose the V6. For me, it's all about engine characteristics and the sound. And as I drive exclusively on public roads, there's only so much performance I can use safely, so the mega power models have pretty much lost the appeal they used to have. Now what? Moreover, I can see that for many people brand is no longer as important as tech. So, for everyday use why is someone going to choose a Macan Turbo for about 110-115k including options over say a Kia EV6 GT for about 65k fully loaded? Is the Macan Turbo really worth 50k more? Does a Macan really have significantly more cachet? In London, I see them everywhere, and so they're in no way special. They're just a nice, quality car. That's it. In the EV world, I think the established premium brands, except maybe Range Rover and of course Rolls-Royce are going to really struggle. The likes of Porsche are going to become tech brands, who are going to be asking double for their tech, which will be as out of date in less than a year as everyone else's. The days of choosing a car based on its beating heart will be over if all you can buy is an EV. As impressive as that electric motor is, for its power and efficiency in such a compact package, it is not going to motivate me to fork out the big bucks, and even if you could, you wouldn't open the bonnet to look at it or show it off. I used to buy Samsung phones, now I have an LG and my wife has a Xiaomi Redmi. I can't see me ever buying a Samsung again, even if the price was the same, as my last Samsung never got a single Android update. And I can't see me ever buying an Apple phone. While I'm not convinced by the likes of BYD, in the EV world at present I think it would be difficult to convince me to buy something other than a Tesla Model 3, especially new. Before all the negative press about EVs, I was thinking about dipping our toes into the world of EVs. I thought as city run-arounds, EVs could make a lot of sense, while reserving ICE for weekends. I was thinking about a used Model 3 Performance for myself, and a used MG 5 for my wife. Prices have dropped significantly since then, and now first gen Taycans are also very tempting. But I'm not going to buy any EV in the foreseeable future, especially not a Taycan with all its reported faults. I'm sticking with ICE until something significant changes, even for running around the city. The old Macan was as a car for every person as much as a Porsche could be. IMO, this new Macan is priced beyond what most people can stretch themselves to acquire. Not only do I expect the new Cayman/Boxsters to be similarly priced, IMO an EV sports car is an oxymoron. While well suited to achieving low 0-60 and 1/4 mile times, IMO a sports car requires an ICE and relatively low weight. Two-and-a-half tonnes for a Macan. That's the weight of a full-size Range Rover! And what about all the mandatory big brother and nanny tech from 2024? How easy is it to turn off lane keep assist?

Fisker tow hitch: annoying feature. Macan tow hitch: Cool feature and "no big problem" 💀

Its so weird but neat at the same time

My local taxi company would like this because like their cars it is extremely ugly. When Matt was jerking about pushing the throttle down continuously, they are better than him at doing this in traffic so you get the added bonus of neck or back whiplash. They brake heavily before they tailgate other drivers. So it is the speed up brake hard workout. I bet the Macan has great brakes. The insurance for the taxi would cost a fortune though! The devaluation after 6 years would be spectacular especially being fully electric. You can buy a secondhand Tesla Model S for 25k now. If I wanted a electric car it represents better value even though you cannot repair it with its fixed chassis if you have a bad accident.Not to mention build quality and some tech issues. Still if it does not breakdown a gift for that price compared to this. Personally I would prefer A Amg Gt Black Merc but That is a distant dream.

The panel on a 95k car moves when I press a button? I don't know if that sounds right

the HUD is so big my gosh how did they manage to fit in there

Will depreciate faster than a superyacht

Are you in French coast?? Amazing..

It is crazy that a sub four second 0 to 60 time for an SUV now only merits a nonchalant nod of the head whereas a few years ago this would have been game changing!

@2:02 mins - Matt your Wrong , that current Trend started with the 2010 Nissan Juke . though the idea was first used in 1998 Fiat Multipla and the 2000 Pontiac Aztec and 2003 Rolls Royce Phantom. But it picked up officially with the 2010 Nissan Juke . That is Facts, i did my research

Matt, the ICE Macan will still be sold in North America. Only Europe is losing the gas version.

No boot space, weird back seat space, electric only, turbo ?, airbag for option…this is going down Porsche 😢

If you deplete the 12V battery, your HV battery won't charge either. So there's no issue with the cover not opening anyway.

This does not look like a Porsche. The front is looking weird

Turbo model without a turbo in it 😂

the speaker isn't correctly installed. Quality issue. HOW DID YOU NOT NOTICE

The hip point for rear passengers is 15 cm lower than the previous model? 15 mm, surely?

That colour looks nice

God, I just loved the old Macan. The only thing I wished was the newer interior, now the only thing I wish it had is an engine. God damn it Porsche.

No mention of battery architecture, battery source, likely longevity or future-proofed upgradeability. Traditional car journalism will have to adapt in fundamental ways in order to remain relevant in the new age of EVs

Just to clarify - they will still be selling the internal combustion Macan alongside this one. So don’t fret if you’re interested in a traditional ICE Macan

Wonder when someone will start to release twin-turbo electric cars. 😂

when will they learn? double light just don't works if you want sexy car. overall great design, but front ruins a lot by this.

How many "you can" did you say? When you add all these features the cost is probably 30% more ! Standard features seem very basic.

where was this video filmed in france?

Looks much nicer than most electric options. Tesla’s look like the front and back were designed by two different people who never met…

just a wider and taller taycan, noted

All the manufacturers are just losing their taste in automobiles because of how the environment is changing 🤦🏾‍♂️

Where is the foot-garage? There was just a regular flat battery in the "technology" part of the car shown?

i cancelled my order for this, ordered a fully loaded Polestar 4 performance and saved around 30k also.

The thumbnail gave me a heart attack , the factory colour suits it more. (23:25 Matts second camera victim )

I'm sure I'm not the only one to notice Volkswagen and Bosch on the motor cut away scene - could they at least stamp PORSCHE on the motor?

5:44 the word "something" does not have a "k" on the end Matt!!

it is nearby water because it looks like frog and frogs live nearby water😁

Its a huge misplay by Porsche to ditch fossil fuel from their most popular car. They will come back fast though.

Matt through 90% of the video: "Porsh" Matt when in the showroom in front of the Porsche staff: "Porsh-uh"

2:04 - It was not started by Citroen and the Picasso. The Nissan Juke already had that.

You CANT Turbo an electric motor.

Not a fortune teller, but I predict the next Macan will be petro powered after record reduction in sales.

Panoramic sunroofs in SUVs are a total waste in warm climates, plus you lose headroom in the back. The main reason to Shortlist (or worse) it is the hefty price and insane cost of extras, not whether it's available as an ICE or not.

Where is the model 3 performance video?

Where did they put the Turbo??

The switches in the back may be a real issue. I sold a Porsche Panamera the other day, AC toggle fell off in the rear cabin. Not snapped, just fell off and got lost. New button - $4000. It requires a panel! Porsche have missed a trick by not supplying buttons on their own.

The reason the screen for the passenger turns black from the driver's side when driving, is because they don't want the driver getting distracted by a video on the screen when driving and must just focus on driving.

With the potholes in our roads, 18” wheels might be safer, for the tyres and your teeth. No rear wiper? Might as well take the mirror away then in rain. I’ve had a Macan for 10 years and the rear wiper is essential, If you use the rear view mirror.

2:20 “Going back to their roots” yeah an electric SUV just screams heritage

The space in the back, for not being able to strecth your feet and for those at 6ft+ hitting their head would be a dealbreaker for me! Why make an SUV that has passenger space like a Mini Cooper?

After their experience with the Tycan. You just have to ask yourself WHY? 😳 In 3 years time you’ll be able to get one half price. I still wouldn’t consider one. Also well done for not mentioning residuals or a single downside of EV car ownership in general 👍

how is it turbo ??
