Very interesting review regarding the Macan EV. I'd typically shy from creating a thread on this in the iX forum, but the fact that the reviewer specifically calls out the iX in praise relative to the Macan is significant.

Frankly, our Macan's interior is just boring. Now, you can make it a brighter place to be with more interesting colors and textures, but you'd have to spend even more money.

Thinking back on previous cars from our One-Year Road Test fleet, the Macan is a stark contrast to another electric crossover we tested: the BMW iX. Manager of written content Cameron Rogers said it best: "My first thought when stepping into the iX's cabin for the first time: 'Oh wow, BMW is really going for it these days, aren't they?'"

He wasn't the only one. Our iX's logbook was awash with praise for the SUV's far-from-traditional interior design and material choice (pictured above). Sure, it can be had in the same black-on-black configuration as our Macan, but there are interesting shapes and textures regardless of color palette.

Not one member of our staff has complimented the Macan EV's interior in a similar way. The fact of the matter is that you're paying far too much for what you get. Our iX cost similar money — a cool $102,070, to be exact — but it was the most expensive iX you could get at the time, and that's before you account for the fact that it's a physically bigger car with equipment (standard or otherwise) our Porsche doesn't have.
