Porsche Macan EV

Yeah at a full charge I got max 540KM. I only have to charge it once a week in work to top it back up to 80%.

It's why i went for the Macan. I was looking at an Audi Q5 and RR Evoque and the costs were similar so figured I'd might as well go for a Porsche.

I was looking at a black Evoque in Joe Duffy at 85k and couldn't come to an agreement on it with them. Wouldn't budge on the price. That car is still sitting there today for 75k

No but at an executive level they spend a lot of time meeting clients and are in the office alot.

I travel from Meath to Dublin once/ twice a week and other than that car is parked up bar small trips to shops etc and I'm going to go past my 15km allowance on PCP.

No difference between lease and outright purchase for BIK calculation. Monthly BIK is calculated on a combination of emissions band/new price of vehicle/mileage.

Won't let me link it here for some reason

Was out and about yesterday with the wife and decided to have a wander into Porshe Dublin for a look at the Macan EV out of curiosity.

Haven’t spotted a single one on the road all year.

Our BMW i4 is out of pcp in 15 months so not sure if will pay balance and keep it or trade for something else…Will decide closer the time.

Fairly loaded Neusse Klass ix3 looks interesting so popped into BMW and didn’t have one on show yet.

To say we were unimpressed with the Macan would be an understatement.

The one on display was 94k with very few options added.

Our overriding feeling was that it felt cheap and non premium for 94k…steering wheel, dash trim, center console. The amount of cheap looking black plastic trim outside around the wheels, bottom of car, side blades (can option them at least in body color).

Basically, certain level of things you would expect to not feel/look cheap at 94k and would not be happy to pay extra for to upgrade.

Very curious what the iX3 will be like in terms of quality and looks wise in the flesh. It’s definitely gonna have the advantage on range / performance level at the base level anyway.

Yeah I’ll be buying the i4 out if equity left and trade in offers are poor. Not too pushed either way tbh at moment. Really like the i4 which helps I suppose.

For sure something not kosher with the irish price.If you compare the Macan EV

UK and irish price the difference when you make all the calculation is roughly 1500

euros.Regardless i am disapointed with the overall design,i much prefer the looks of

a nice specd Macan which will end up costing well over 100K.

They’ve taken a play from Mercedes book to hit it with a large paddy tax for the most basic model. If they follow suit, then all the options to bring it up to UK base spec will be triple the UK cost. EQE paint is €5000 vs £700 UK. Paddy gouging

as you can see from the photo, the paint is around 6 times the UK price.

You can’t even get an EQE300 in the UK! That sub-entry paddy spec is for us alone. It’s probably 30% more here to bring the paddy spec up to the base UK spec.

I recently went "Coast to Coast" so see what the real world range in winter months is with the Macan from Porsche Ireland. 22" wheels look great but how much did they hinder....
