First Porsche Macan EV Highway Range Test! Goes Farther Than Taycan

Kyle and Dr. Robert Meier who is responsible for the Macan complete vehicle jump inside a prototype long range version of the vehicle for as close to a 70-mph highway range test as we can recreate in California! Join us..,

The best part of this video is having someone in the passenger seat who actually knows the answers to all of Kyle‘s questions.

I am surprised Porsche agreed to this with pre-production units.

[bavariancarenthusiast]

325 miles or 523 km real world - impressive! Great new PPE platform together with Audi.

[Muzzle]

322 miles actual range for a SUV on the highway is great!

[JonathanEzor]

Thank you, Kyle, and thank you Porsche for making this possible. This may be the first Porsche I can consider owning, at least once my Mach-E goes back in mid-2026.

[Cloxxki]

Bless the brands that offer both an instrument cluster and a HUD. It's such a small cost, but helps the driving experience so much.

This thing wins the mid-size crossover SUV road tripping wars. Impressive 300+ miles at 70mph and that monster charge curve that adds probably 140-150 miles in 15 minutes.

Did you see that wink at the turn around from the engineer when Kyle said it should get more than 300 miles?

[seanblvt]

Hi Kyle,

The technical engineering term that you would use for "heat scavenging" is HEAT RECOVERY. Especially when it comes to HVAC equipment such as heat pumps. Not trying to be hypercritical in a demeaning way. Just educating for future reference as you appreciate such an extensive attention to detail in your analytical reviews of EV's.

[florianhaffner]

Must be so amazing to have an engineer right next to you to answer your questions. I have a deep respect for engineers since they are pushing forward the boundaries of whats possible and as a car enthusiast I feel like Porsche engineers are among the world's best. Great video!

[Ficon]

Porsche is insanely good at iterative design (unlike ahem a certain company). Their first products are always just okay and then second versions are killer.

[TJPavey]

I like his response when asking about heat recovery. “Every Joule…”. I would love to get one of these in the future based on what we’ve seen so far.

[AustinFerguson]

My dude, next level getting a development car, and a range test, and a Porsche! ahhhh 🤯

wonder the price..

[mcunha]

Wow, impressive numbers, as expected, Porsche isn't messing around, well done. Great video Kyle

[dand]

So 322.5 miles at 289 Wh/miles means it consumed 93.2 kWh, which is probably very close to the net useable battery capacity.

[cwilsonyt]

These reviews are effing brilliant. Kyle is on my wavelength.

[olivieraries]

More than the range (which is a function of battery size), this is the efficiency that I find impressive: 289 Wh/mile is really good, especially for a big SUV. The Macan has more utility and a lower price than Taycan, higher quality and stronger brand than Audi, and especially with NCAS charging, it might become a best-seller in the upper range of the EV market - even perhaps as a more compact and more efficient alternative to Rivian.

[volvo_kristian]

You lucky duck 😎 Looking forward to all the sweet Macan content you got coming. Hopefully a mountain blast as well... Full send.

Great video also, and impressive range. Thumbs up 👍

[andyzegerman]

Vielen Dank Dr. Robert, hoffentlich bekommt Kyle noch mehrere Gelegenheiten für solch eine Zusammenarbeit. "Nicht schlecht!"

[broosewee]

Great video. Kudos to Porsche for letting this happen, and they chose their YT partner very wisely!
