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.

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.
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.
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.

It will make the depreciation of the Taycan look sensible. I spoke to my Porsche dealer recently, and he is terrified of this thing, and basically wish it had never been created.
I was planning on buying a Macan next summer when my current car is paid off, now that it’s went fully electric I will not go anywhere near it! Very disappointing!
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!
@@Just_a_random_birbno it doesn't this guys comment was spot on. The new model 3 looks like a weird Chinese fish from the front albeit more of a sleek design but then the rest of the car turns into the iconic tesla "blob" design. The front is sleek then it slowly turns into an egg shape. It doesn't match up design wise.
Its not even sitting on the same platform. Completely different technology. So it is not a taller Taycan. The Taycan is still made to be a sports car compared to other 4 door cars
@@rubystarcarrera He's not saying it's the same car but different. He's just saying the design looks similar to a wider and taller Taycan or, in other words, like an SUV version of the Taycan
Ever heard of emission regulations, especially in the EU? There won't be an ICE Macan (or 718) again. Also Porsche already stated a couple of weeks ago they were overwhelmed by the amount of preorders the Macan recieved (over 10.000)
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.
15:30 lol HUD is an optional extra on a car that costs 70k? It's friggin' Porsche what were they thinking? Even Changan Deepal L07 sold in my country have the HUD came as standard. And it only costs 27k here converted from local currency to pound sterling.

it is a beast of an EV. i am pretty sure that it will sell well. the next iteration will be interesting, it is expected to have a lighter battery. maybe they can shave off 100kg. the motor looks heavy as well. i guess the next version will not be a revolution but a small step of evolution
I consider Porsche's to be overpriced and money pits. However, I love the return of the GREEN color in cars! I was so bored with all the 50 thousand shades of grey!
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.
@@MrCosmin94 that’s what it is nowadays, back then it had an actual meaning, if there was „turbo“ written on a car from Porsche it actually had a turbo. I don’t like the new policy for usage of these terms. Idk just call it performance
@@BlixemBlixem Yet they cost money.... Not a valid excuse, shouldve been free to add then. Plus pretty much all cars got switches in the doors to turn off airbags wherever there are childseats.
Worst part is that having some air bags as a paid optional extra is a thing all German car brands do. Their true roots from Nazi-Germany never truly disappeared.
It has rear curtain airbags. We are talking about rear torso airbag which isn't standard in any car as far as I know, because it isn't needed to get a five star crash test and it is not recommended if you will be using rear car seats for kids.
I have the Macan 4 for a bit longer than 1 month. My verdict, don’t buy it. Cheap plastic interior. Assistant systems are saying goodbye after 50min driving, no update available yet. And the best, no holder for the belt buckle on the belt on the driver side. Porsche went south in quality just to increase profit.
I really wish Porsche would stop using Bose, Bose is garbage and always has been. Harmon, JBL, and B&O are much better options. Too Bad Klipsch doesn’t really make car audio.

Where is the roof spoiler? wich would make the look less bald…. There is so many ugly and wrong details witch make me question about is Porsches head of design fit to job….
Exactly what i was gonna comment
@@SS.1. Spoiler has a function not for the looks. Ev has low centre of gravity so don’t need one
This style of content and breaking down the interior are absolutely fantastic. Everything was so smooth and clean.
Fisker tow hitch: annoying feature. Macan tow hitch: Cool feature and "no big problem" 💀
Yeah! I noticed that as well. 🤣 Why is it annoying on thr Fisker but not on the Porsche?
6:13 "And while you are down there darling" 🤣
Matt, don't ever change ❤
Glad i wasn’t the only one that noticed 😭
Mat is like deadpool reviewing cars😂
Will depreciate faster than a superyacht
It will make the depreciation of the Taycan look sensible. I spoke to my Porsche dealer recently, and he is terrified of this thing, and basically wish it had never been created.
@@AB-80XPorsche will force future buyers to buy this thing alongside Taycan 🤣🤣
Good means the average folk will be able to afford it used
@@caidee They will try, but it will be a lot harder.
I was planning on buying a Macan next summer when my current car is paid off, now that it’s went fully electric I will not go anywhere near it! Very disappointing!
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!
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!
Because it’s a soulless electric box of overpriced tat
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.
Looks much nicer than most electric options. Tesla’s look like the front and back were designed by two different people who never met…
Tesla Model Y has different options.
new 2024 model 3 looks a bit better.
@@Just_a_random_birbno it doesn't this guys comment was spot on. The new model 3 looks like a weird Chinese fish from the front albeit more of a sleek design but then the rest of the car turns into the iconic tesla "blob" design. The front is sleek then it slowly turns into an egg shape. It doesn't match up design wise.
People buy teslas becuase they are cheap EV options not becuase they look cool.
@@G82Watts The old one looks like a frog. Which one is better? The chineese fish of course.
Amazing how Matt mixes useful information with humour seamlessly. When can we expect the review of Audi Q6 e-tron
just a wider and taller taycan, noted
Wider and taller Taycan?
And way more ugly too
Its not even sitting on the same platform. Completely different technology. So it is not a taller Taycan. The Taycan is still made to be a sports car compared to other 4 door cars
@@rubystarcarrera He's not saying it's the same car but different. He's just saying the design looks similar to a wider and taller Taycan or, in other words, like an SUV version of the Taycan
no, this is a lot better than the taycan, now the technology of motor and battery are closer to a tesla.
the HUD is so big
my gosh how did they manage to fit in there
So big I just keep staring at it ❤
As huge as the package Matt is carrying.
Thanks!
Its a huge misplay by Porsche to ditch fossil fuel from their most popular car. They will come back fast though.
Ever heard of emission regulations, especially in the EU? There won't be an ICE Macan (or 718) again. Also Porsche already stated a couple of weeks ago they were overwhelmed by the amount of preorders the Macan recieved (over 10.000)
Yeah,
"Novelty effect"
Let's wait for a full year or 2 of your "10000 overwhelmed preorders "😂@@fischwaffel96
They did this so they could still sell the 911 with a combustion engine. Pretty simple.
@@fischwaffel96 it depends on the Macan EV sales Porsche said. If it's bad we will get a new ICE Macan
@@fischwaffel96 No more ICE and manual transmissions from Porsche?
Is this for real.....How boring world has become, robotic soyciety
Matt, the ICE Macan will still be sold in North America. Only Europe is losing the gas version.
no, every place is loosing every ICE car
@@JohnSmith-pn2vl Every car reviewer that I follow says otherwise.
日本は？
Not true
ICE car will continue to be sold in the UK (the old model, it’s not the new shape with an ICE engine)
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.
2:20 “Going back to their roots” yeah an electric SUV just screams heritage
Mat was on about the design when he said that, not the engine 🥱
@@AirMelosity Ik, just a funny thought
An all-terrain hybrid electric "macan" was one of Ferdinand Porsche's first vehicles...
@@aidansky55 it is TBF, it's like companies have been riddled with dementia and has forgotten what good cars where
Where did they put the Turbo??
In their a.. 😅
Banging the same drum since 2019 🙄
@15:13 was too funny, you are the best man blah blah blah lmao
Thank you for saying it's electric only. I stopped the video at 0:20, but still gave it a like 😄
This does not look like a Porsche. The front is looking weird
I get exactly what you mean the rear is soo weird and the lower front lights are weird too
It looks exactly like Porsches from the last 5 years wtf.
Looks like every car from China
@@mathiaspreissler1it def looks like a porsche, all these "car ppl" love to bash things then praise it 2 weeks later 😂
Looks like a Porsche to me!
Porsche won the EV battle over Tesla.
Taycan GT & Macan EV are the winners.
it is nearby water because it looks like frog and frogs live nearby water😁
Lol, pleas some one push it in the water!
Imho it looks more like a fat hampster. But anyways it's ugly af!
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.
15:30 lol HUD is an optional extra on a car that costs 70k?
It's friggin' Porsche what were they thinking?
Even Changan Deepal L07 sold in my country have the HUD came as standard.
And it only costs 27k here converted from local currency to pound sterling.
2:02 a trend first started by Rolls Royce Phantom 2003, right?
I like the model before much more. I would go for an Audi SQ5 before I would get this one
The "Glovebox"!....the VW Golf Mark IV from 1999 had that as well 😆
The only Porsche that looks like a chinese clone of itself
i cancelled my order for this, ordered a fully loaded Polestar 4 performance and saved around 30k also.
You are not going to save anything pal. Vertical depreciation is the new term for EV cars. Polestar was valued at ZERO dollars recently, volvo are dumping onto the Chinese.

Poot guy
You saved $30,000 on the price tag, but you will lose that $30,000 on resale instantly
it is a beast of an EV.
i am pretty sure that it will sell well. the next iteration will be interesting, it is expected to have a lighter battery. maybe they can shave off 100kg. the motor looks heavy as well.
i guess the next version will not be a revolution but a small step of evolution
I consider Porsche's to be overpriced and money pits. However, I love the return of the GREEN color in cars!
I was so bored with all the 50 thousand shades of grey!
All cars look better in green - even the Italian jobs
All the older versions of cars look way better than the new ones these days
carwow, Your videos are fantastic! I just had to subscribe!
Headlights being lower than the DRL is a massive blunder
no
Baboon’s bottom 😂 once seen can’t be unseed!
😂very accurate
Lmao like the new land cruiser carrying a full nappy! 🤣
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 rear is weird af. Idk but I think it’s a flop🤷♂️
Also don’t name it turbo if there ain’t one in it😂
The 2024 Macan is basically 7.3/10.
Turbo's a trim level,
@@MrCosmin94 that’s what it is nowadays, back then it had an actual meaning, if there was „turbo“ written on a car from Porsche it actually had a turbo. I don’t like the new policy for usage of these terms. Idk just call it performance
@@Audi-Junkie_0210 all do the same. Remember then a T5 and a D5 used to show u got a 5cyl engine on a Volvo?
Is this the new Genesis ev?
No 🤷🏻
@@martinogold You sure?? It looks like it!
18:00 yes it's waight half of ICE, but are you going to run it on power line
Charging people for airbags is crazy
no it's not
Not correct. Side airbags cannot be used with child seats in the rear. That is why they are optional.
@@BlixemBlixem Yet they cost money.... Not a valid excuse, shouldve been free to add then. Plus pretty much all cars got switches in the doors to turn off airbags wherever there are childseats.
Rear side airbags as an option is unforgivable!
Worst part is that having some air bags as a paid optional extra is a thing all German car brands do. Their true roots from Nazi-Germany never truly disappeared.
It has rear curtain airbags. We are talking about rear torso airbag which isn't standard in any car as far as I know, because it isn't needed to get a five star crash test and it is not recommended if you will be using rear car seats for kids.
Hey carwow, great content as always. Where in France was this shot?
0:22 one of the biggest...😂
I doubt it. Prove it😂❤
Hate they call an EV a Turbo, it's absurd
I have the Macan 4 for a bit longer than 1 month. My verdict, don’t buy it. Cheap plastic interior. Assistant systems are saying goodbye after 50min driving, no update available yet. And the best, no holder for the belt buckle on the belt on the driver side. Porsche went south in quality just to increase profit.
Wonder when someone will start to release twin-turbo electric cars. 😂
Maybe an (B) i-Turbo ?
@@pezz38 Right
Matt please speak more german 😅😅😅
Great review Matt. Do you know what colour this is? Doesn’t look like the oak green to me
Didn't get passed 18sec. As soon as you said EV. Turned off.
I really wish Porsche would stop using Bose, Bose is garbage and always has been. Harmon, JBL, and B&O are much better options. Too Bad Klipsch doesn’t really make car audio.
those are all rebranded samsung trash. mark levinson and countless other brands as well. you're deluding yourself if you think they're different.
Awesome video, I felt like I was there with you guys 😄👍🏿 It may have gone all electric, but the new Macan is still a rather descent vehicle surprisingly! 🟢
From the final verdict, I think it is definitely worth buying straight away. Especially for countries in tropical regions.
They should named this car Taycan SUV instead. lol
Where's the Turbo?
its a model designation that's very familiar to target buyers. Regardless, should we be looking for horse inside of the ford mustang?
@@ale3hs Not the same. It's like calling a FWD car "4x4"
@@ale3hs Haha.. familiar? Its wrong no matter how "familiar" it is..
A turbo badge is what teenagers would put on theur shitty first car to try and look cool 40 years ago...
Mat, when it comes to reviewing cars, you are one of the best. However, the moment you mention electric only, I just have to 'immediately' switch off.
We need to v8 engine this car
(Casually drowns in rising sea levels)
Also, a V8 would be too big for an SUV of this size. Biggest engine possible is a V6.
@@snakeeyes9246Where do you think most of the electric comes from to charge EVs?
@@edward92128 From the sun. The same thing that created most of the energy for coal and oil formation.
@@snakeeyes9246 previous gen glc was similar in size and had a v8. invalid argument
