Pretty sure Kyle’s knowledge of the EV space and in particular all charging aspects really caught the engineer off guard. Kyle is such a step above the “average” car reviewer

As a former electrical engineer I love the details. So refreshing to have good knowledge from a KZfaqr. I just watched the CR best of video (out of curiosity) and they didn’t seem to actually understand that regen was different than one pedal driving, claiming you’d use brake pads if you turned off 1 pedal.

This guy can talk for days over EV Cars without a script. "Hatt's off to your knowledge...❤ " And thanks for this long videos

This was so well done. Super excited for the Macan EV. Awesome to have Dr. Meier digging into the details. Thanks Kyle/Team

this is the most impressive ev in a while in terms of specs, range and aesthetics. First Porsche Ive ever wanted to buy and I think I probably will. Well done

“Not lose a single joule of energy” It is so refreshing to hear information from engineers who really know the content. Too many companies can’t even get basic units right, and hearing Robert use joule casually in conversation proves he knows what he is talking about.

Back end of the EV is Uber spectacular in the opinion of this architect. Making it boxey would be silly. Overall the new Macan EV is absolutely amazing. It is a pinnacle of design. Just perfect!

I know it isn't such a big deal these days but I still find it amazing that you can record good quality, stable video with a smart phone.

Thanks to the Porsche fellow. It’s nice having the designer, engineer and brain trust of the platform to explain and relay the thoughts on the car. That’s what I’m buying, is people that care about the engineering and design.

I used to think Autogefuhl was long-form until I met Out of Spec. Love the deepdives 👉

THIS is replacing my CT and EX90 reservations - truly well thought out

They have nailed this. Size is spot on, design is an improvement, no more bug headlights, much more sleek profile, interior looks perfect, no compromises on space and storage and the EV stats are very good.

aesthetically this is a looker, and technically one of the best, and range is excellent

Awesome Video!! I must say, the front styling is growing on me and after watching your Video I’m getting excited. Nice Job!

Honestly Porsche nailed it. Only the price is obviously a bit high, but other than that, performance, range & charging on par or better than Tesla, love their premium interior, awesome design, probably best looking small SUV out there. Go Porsche!

KYLE IS THE 🐐 OF CAR KZfaq!

Absolutely underrated interview Kyle !! Can't wait for your test drive !!

Wow, I watched the whole 1.5 hours of your preview and thoroughly enjoyed it!! Thanks!

The Key is in the shape of a car and that's the reason why the frunk button is in the front and the trunk button is at the rare with door buttons in the center.

Superb video, thanks Kyle!

Great to get such a detailed overview! The design has really landed for me. I wasn't sure at all with prototypes.

Great again, Kyle! Thnx!

Can't wait for the test drive videos!

Love seeing this channel already at 205k after passing 200k not to long ago. Still loving the long form content (I still watch on 1.2 speed though lol)

Yes, I like the rear view. I really liked the original Macan, when it was introduced. But then they completely messed up the look of the front end, making it look really cheap, and that alone was a deal breaker. This actually looks great all round. I really like it.

Excellent! Thanks for all the details

Awesome! Thank you

Thanks again Kyle!

Dang! Look at Kyle slangin that engineering speak! Great review man as usual!

Superb car , reviewed by superb person

Congrats again to you guys on all the recent growth

Dr Meier was really interesting. So informative. And Kyle asked some great Q's.

Very nice presentation and flow.

Very well done; professional guidance. 👌

In the UK lane keeping assist, traffic sign recognition, lane change assist and cruise control are STANDARD. So happy about that

I typically hate SUVs, but this new Macan has me really questioning my sanity. LOL! I am ready to go have a chat with my Porsche dealer; this really looks super nice. (But I am not letting go of my Taycan.)

I'll always be a boxy SUV lover but I think the back end of this looks better than the model it's replacing.

Looks like a winner thanks for a thorough preview.

Freaking amazing level of details!! Love it!❤

Excellent , comprehensive review Kyle 👏🏻. Watching Kyle’s take on the Macan first! Just seen on the configurator, adaptive cruise control isn’t even standard!

Thank you for this highly interesting and entertaining video. It provides a very good impression of the vehicle. I think this might become my first Porsche. Greetings from Austria

You can tell that Kyle has a soft spot in his heart for the Porsche.

Love this car! Will definitely be a contender to replace my Model Y at the end of this year ⚡️⚡️⚡️

That is a good looking car. The camo versions looked slightly weird at the front, but it's quite a handsome thing

Man I'm impressed by how long you can talk non-stop 😄 Great video, thanks 🙏

Incredible EV! Great interview Kyle!

As a 2018 macan S owner, this exceeded what I thought it would be. Front headlights need to grow on me, but I like the rear light bar more than the gen 2

He's right about the rear styling it reminds me too much of a Jaguar i-pace. That being said its still way nicer looking than the Model Y.

Planning to buy now!

Glad you know the accelerator pedal is on the right side !!! 😛

Great review ...so much info...I love rear end ...it's like watching the rear of a high diver wearing speedos 😅😅😅

Great video!! Will definitely get the ICE version!

I have waited for this. Thanks

Very excited about the Macan EV. Looking forward to it joining the Lightning in the garage.

Thanks Kyle! Very very excited about the new Macan EV

I love that Turbo. I'd spec mine almost like that.

I disagree about big infotainment/map screens (1:15:15). Porsche does it perfectly: horizontal, laid into the dashboard, not taking up too much real estate. Just the right size. I hate iPads-glued-to-dashboards like Tesla, Mach-E, etc., and I hate vertical screens that take up so much space down low and even up over the top of the dashboard.

Great job

Finally, now I can spec one out!!!

Yep, well done, Porsche. Nailed the styling (no problems with the back-end, for mine), range is good, with what looks like typical superb Porsche handling. Agree, think they'll sell a lot.

Good amount of useful info is shown on the instrument cluster screen. When will someone forego the percentage of charge and give us the kWh in the battery down to zero with the buffer then listed to shut down. That is the most important thing I think every ev should be required to supply.

Can’t wait 🔥🔥🔥

Speaking as a Q8 E-Tron Sportback owner, I am team curves. Loving the Provenance color. Great design.

Great job.

Great scoop and compelling specs.

Ordered one yesterday.

Kyle I am really impressed with both you and Porsche 🥷

I think the look is amazing (yes including the rear!)

I rarely use my key buttons to lock/unlock/ I almost always use the buttons on the door handle.

Great job Kyle!! Best review of any EV on YT. Non-Porsche owner, but definitely interested in the Turbo model. What is the advantage of Chrono Package? It appears the same options are available in the touch screen. Also does it offer a version of Dog Mode?

+Awesome video.

i hate the big screens, this is perfect.

Hi Kyle, and OoSR team. Awesome channel. OoSR and Kyle’s videos, praising the Taycan on the German autobahn and its fast charging capabilities, was the main reason I moved from a BMW 740d m-Sport x-drive to a Taycan 4S Cross Turismo last September. First EV 😇 but a major change from a diesel with 1.000km range. Don’t regret it. Epric car! I live in Switzerland and can’t imaging a better daily driver than a Taycan CT. I do however have a 800km commute that I do 2-6 times per month, so fast and efficient charging is important to me. Purpose of this comment is to ask two questions that I can’t get a straight answer to from Porsche. 1) in this video Kyle talks about the difference between Lane Keeping Assist and Lane Centring. I have recently upgraded to Innodrive (over the air update) . However NO LANE CENTERING. It’s close to non-usable to be ‘thrown from lane to lane’. In this video I seem to understand that there is a possibility to option lane CENTERING. However I can’t find such option on any Taycan or the new Macan EV (in Europe). I can find it e.g. on Panamera (as part of Innodrive). Am I mistaken, or is there a way to get lane Centering in a Taycan 4S CT? 2) as efficient charging is important on my long commutes, I am facing a tedious issue with the Porsche Intelligent Range Manager. It seems I am NOT able to get the car to PRECONDITION the battery if I just select a DC charging station as destination (even if done from the My Porsche app, e.g. selecting an IONITY charging station and sending it to vehicle). I do not have Sports-Chrono but don’t think this should be the issue. If the PIRM however detects that I need to charge to reach destination, and selects a DC charger as a stopover, THEN the battery gets preconditioned. Kyle, since you know so much about the technical details and functionality of the Taycan, can you confirm that my observation is correct? I can work around the issue (if I have to) by playing with the desired %-SoCat at destination, but it’s annoying if Ihave to. I know my 800km commute quite well by now, and know which 2-3 of the 5 IONITY chargers on the route I plan to hit. Therefore I usually just select the IONITY charger as my destination and hence often do not get prompted to charge on route as I typically have desired %-SoC set to 3%. From many of your videos I get the impression that the Taycan will precondition simply my selecting a DC charger as destination. Just does not work on my Taycan 🤔 Am I mistaken?

I always watch 1.5 speed cause everything is slow but always informative 🤘🏻

i agree with you on the back end.....

Great review Kyle 🙏 Macan looks nice and should sell well. The left rear charge port is perfect for Tesla Superchargers ❤❤❤

Do not ever apologize for folding the seats down climbing in and showing us how big it is. As a surfer, that’s the most important feature on any car. 😊

Great presentation! I love your channel! Will I reduce the range if I spec my Macan 4 with sun roof?

I agree, Kyle. I wish the back end was more boxy/useful.

Really loving that muted gloss brown or whatever that color is.

Great in-depth video. Well done! The car looks fantastic and one I would definitely consider except, NACS... Perhaps in 2025.

i like the back and front and all car design inside, outside and structural, amazing. colors , headlamps, everything is amazing. you are lucky to sit in it, to drive it.

USA pricing Macan 4 starts at $78,800 Macan turbo starts at $105,300

Want one baaaaad,, 🔥🥰🔥 Thanks Kyle,, 👍‍‍🌟👍‍‍

I was dead set on getting a used Taycan Turbo as my next car, but this video now has me considering a new Macan Turbo instead, ugh. THANKS, KYLE

Congrats to Porsche, nice, solid and future proof car

Great video. I wish you asked Dr. Meier why they chose the split headlights verses just integrating the headlamp as the Taycan does. Or if you did ask what's the reason for the spit? Thanks.

EV Tech is advancing so quickly for charging, cooling, and propulsion. It's really fun to learn about all the new ways we are producing our next gen cars. As someone that has a good grasp of older ICE car and their designs it's fun to see something new and exciting!

Great thing about porsche EVs is they actually give u the range they say it will have and in some cases my taycan out performed. Unlike some brands like tesla which have been shown by carwow , Edmunds Car reviews and others to only achieve 75% of what their range estimates are. Good thing someone sued em a month ago because that's insane!

Awesome vehicle!

Any notes on rear trailer hitches or proprietary mounts like Taycan? Saw the note for 2000kg tow rating. Aux power in the rear and “camping modes”? Great review as usual. Love the details.

Looking forward to any information on autonomy improvements to InnoDrive, active lane keeping, etc.

Hey Kyle. The charging port release is on the driver's door master switch cluster 😊

Looks like a best seller. Porsche is going to show that a good electric vehicle will sell well.

Love the details. I may replace my etron 55 (lease ends Sep24) which is an awesome road trip car with either a Macan 4 or a Q8 50. Kids want the Macan. It’s big enough, but a Macan Tourismo with a squarer back end would be better still for me.

I really like the size of the screen, it’s true not everyone wants a iPad on their dashboard.😊

Great content Kyle, thanks 💪🏼👍🏼 Just e few remarks from the technical side😉😉 Don’t mix up „Chiller“ with the Compressor. The „chiller“ you always talk about, is a passive component. It is nothing else then an evaporator, used to cool the battery cooling circuits cooling liquid. The HV Component you mean is the HV Clima Compressor which is a HV Component and makes noise while running. Kickdown has several functions here. One of them is overriding the set speedlimit with the limiter. The Tycan can and could never decouple the rear e-motor from the gearbox. The clutches it uses (1 claw clutch, 1 multiplate clutch) are ONLY to change the gear ratio in the gearbox and to block the gearbox in „Park“. There is no way that it decouples machanically with those clutches (from the SOS of the Y1A till now) In the Tycan Y1A the HV Booster does not in any way „split“ the battery in half. Its a normal DC/DC Converter, to „boost“ the Voltage up (and current down)

Oh good short video by our Out of Spec guys

This is so cool! Kyle was like a kid in a candy store!!!! LOL 😂

Germany is back on track!
