EV Channels Review
This video pits the Porsche Macan electric against its gasoline-powered GTS counterpart in a snow-covered Vermont setting. The reviewer emphasizes the critical role of winter tires, demonstrating how even a front-wheel-drive Volvo struggled without them, while both Macans, equipped with snow tires, performed admirably. The gasoline GTS, despite its age and mileage, is praised for its sound and capability, though rattles are noted. The Macan electric, with new tires, is highlighted for its solid performance and a slight edge in snow handling over the GTS. The reviewer concludes that while both are excellent in snow, the EV gets a slight nod, attributing it to newer tires and a more solid feel compared to the older GTS, which has accumulated significant mileage and some interior rattles. The key takeaway is the absolute necessity of proper winter tires and all-wheel drive for confident snow driving.
