Rear legroom
Does anyone have a sense of the rear legroom. I was thinking of switching out my Mercedes EQS sedan for a Macan EV. I dont need S-class legroom in the back, but I do have a 4 year old son in a convertible car seat, and I prefer he has proper legroom and isn't constantly kicking the seatbacks due to lack of legroom.
I thought the Macan EV looked roomier than the ICE Macan, but then I saw this image which raised a concern. Does anyone have any measurements?

Most reviewers have shown rear seat legroom, and they found it better than the ICE Macan.
Good to check out some reviews.
I understand, they added 4 inches to the wheelbase and most of that benefits rear legroom.

while the Macan EV is better than then ICE Macan - I wouldn't plan on it being a revelation - the Macan's market is still small/mid-sized SUV - and the new EV reflects that in all dimensions…
but for me it's no worse than a Taycan and actually quite a bit better - so it's an "upgrade" in terms of moving from Taycan to Macan and passenger cabin volume.
picture below was taken at PECLA w/Macan Turbo EV in the show room - driver's seat is all the way back (a position for me personally I would never be in while driving) and my 6'1" buddy was able to sit behind the seat and he said it was not horrible - so if you figure the seat will be forward quite a bit more - legroom should be adequate…
Note: picture _IS_ a new EV Macan - and his left knee is not touching the seat - driver's seat is _ALL THE WAY BACK_ in this photo on purpose - so this picture represents the worse case rear seat legroom.

I agree with Dave. There were four of us in the car at PECLA. My husband and I were in the backseat and it was fine. Agreed...it doesn't have the room our Cayenne does, but rarely do we have anyone in the back other than our dog. I did notice the Macan doesn't have the air vents in the B-pillar like the Cayenne, and the rear windows don't roll down all the way (which our dog won't appreciate).
