Do you like the new design? What about the pricing - now from $133k.

@bign1667 Месяц назад

What was the old price of the petrol macan starting from?

@CarExpertAus Месяц назад

@@bign1667 It started from $93,800 plus on-road costs. So an increase of around $40k for the new base. We are expecting to see more variants added outside of the 4 and Turbo in the coming months.

@bign1667 Месяц назад

@@CarExpertAus For 40k less I think I'd buy a used/demo a petrol version. I really would have thought EV's are getting cheaper to build these days especially with the subcription services EV companies like Tesla wants customers to pay these days for features, charging and entertainment. Heck even the cheapest used or new taycan would be a better deal.

Probably wouldn’t buy the first generation of this car it’ll be interesting to see what the second gen features are

@andyboyize I wouldn't stress that much this is not their first EV, they've had the taycan out for a while to learn mistakes from and onto their facelift version.

Porsches have always had such a timeless design but this one is definitely more futuristic. Great to see them use the front as more storage considering the swoop-ish rear design.

In Australia, by the time the Federal Luxury Car Tax, State Tax's and Porsche "add ons" are factored in, the price rises to nearly $200K. Thats for the cheap model. 🤣🤣

Great new EV from a design perspective. I wonder what’s the point of the split headlights… the top part purely for DRL… couldn’t they just have all the lights in that section and remove the lower part like the Taycan

@Miop-je5of Месяц назад

Current Taycan owner’s values have been smashed by the updated version. These cars are like iphones. Expensive, disposable and out of date in 12 months.

@dfd6787 Месяц назад

EVs will be like that for a while, there is so much tech advances, like early days of smartphones, I rarely switch my iPhone earlier than 5 years now, but in early days there was something drastically new every year. I don't think these things are bought to preserve value, they are mass produced.

Agree. People are staring to cotton on that the electric car technology is disposable and superseded in 12 months. Buy a cheap BYD. They’re all as fast and futuristic looking but you can change it every 12 months for an updated model.

It's an SUV which already had the lowest seating position amongst it's peers and now another 3cm lower. As a current owner of 2 Macans I will be switching to Cayenne for any future purchases.

EV technology is certainly improving. Let's hope lighter weight solid state batteries are not far away. VW group has a wide spread of products. I just hope they can bundle some of this technology in an affordable package, perhaps ID2 will answer that.

@grecoconduris6716 Месяц назад

Someone told me that the Porsche electric vehicles have terrible resale. Can’t say I’ve looked that up myself but does that make deciding to get one of these or a Taycan over a conventional ICE vehicle a harder pill to swallow?

@almac9203 Месяц назад

Porsche EVs are no different than other EVs in terms of depreciation. EVs as a whole are not as value retaining as ICE. The depreciation stories are overblown but if you can't handle the extra 10 to 15 percent over 4 years then get a hybrid

@rl7586 Месяц назад

@martintokinaga5261 Месяц назад

Given the latest EV saga and suddenly people realise EV can't do the green trick, the used car price EV plunged quickly, such as the Tycan Turbo drop more than 60% over 4 years. I have a feeling Porsche bet too early on full EV on Macan.

@raymonddsouza8948 Месяц назад

Not to mention the new pricing is going to take the Macan out of the running for most people, this can't remain their best seller with such a high starting price.

@edmondsmith4259 Месяц назад

First, they complain that EVs are too expensive, now they complain that EVs prices are dropping (like every car as the market corrects to pre-pandemic levels)... It's ok to just not like something new rather than make excuses. ICE will still have a beautiful and exciting space for the enthusiast.

Huge price increase? In the Nethërlands the new Macan EV is EUR 30k cheaper than the previous ICE version. All due to taxes off course

@glisse499 Месяц назад

Yes, a huge price increase. In Australia. Maybe you are just lost on the internet, but I thought the language and Paul's accent would have provided clues that you weren't on a Dutch channel ?

@MrGerben29 Месяц назад

@@glisse499 yes of course I knew it was not a dutch channel. I was just pointing out my surprise that in the Netherlands the price is actually going down significantly and in other countries it is going up. Shows the difference in taxation.

@glisse499 Месяц назад

@@MrGerben29 I see your point, as I looked at the Netherlands pricing, and the government is certainly using a tax structure to favour EV, or perhaps better to say punishing ICE vehicles. A base 4 cylinder Macan is €126k there, which is AUD207k. In Australia, that Macan is less than half that price at AUD94k, or €57k. Which is a crazy low price compared to most countries. In fact, the Macan 4 EV at AUD133k, which is €82k, is still a good price - less than both the Dutch and German prices. So Paul Maric's headline is a bit misleading, and you are right. And it does demonstrate how some governments are serious about moving to EV, and others are not.

@simon.c7541 Месяц назад

I am shocked Porsche have ditched the petrol powered motors in the Macan. Who with 1 third of a brain would even consider an EV especially at this price level.

Great looking White Goods Porsche and goes like stink but way over priced, again. They could get away with it with ICE cars by weight of the engineering involved to bring them to market and few could do it better. But the EV bubble is bursting around the globe, even for Porcche.
