75 Ltr Tank

This may be a very short string. Does anyone know if the 75ltr tank makes any physical difference to the car i.e. does it take any space from the boot, or reduce the ground clearance etc etc?

It’s obviously bigger definitely no difference in boot space, unaware of any change to ground clearance. Suggest you get it, as it’s sometimes very useful to have the extended range between fill ups.

My current Macan has the 75 Ltr tank, but as I don't do a lot of long journeys I've been pondering staying with the 65 Ltr on my next Macan. It's only about £80 difference - but do I need it?
One thing I'd throw into the mix is this - A mate of mine never used to fill up more than half full as he had a theory that he'd rather fill up more often than waste fuel carrying around 27 kg (37 litres = approx 27kg) of dead weight
Maybe he has a point...

The 75 litre tank was standard on the Turbo and now also on the GTS. Guess it’s based on the lower mpg expectation.GWL wrote: ↑Mon Jul 26, 2021 2:28 pm My current Macan has the 75 Ltr tank, but as I don't do a lot of long journeys I've been pondering staying with the 65 Ltr on my next Macan.

I have only got the 60 litre tank which I find to be more than adequate.
On the few long runs that I have done I have yet to wish that I had chosen the (same price) 75litre tank.

To answer your question, the larger tank doesn't reduce boot space or ground clearance. Having a smaller standard tank helps with the approvals process. I think I'm right in saying that all approvals testing is undertaken with half a tank of fuel.OmniCognateSnr wrote: ↑Mon Jul 26, 2021 2:08 pm This may be a very short string.

Its quite a cheap option and I’m likely to have to drive to Birmingham and back ( from The South Coast ) every now and then, so I checked the box. Time will tell if it makes any real world difference

Might not be the correct term but I was referring to the EU type approvals process that allows Porsche to sell particular models.OmniCognateSnr wrote: ↑Mon Jul 26, 2021 3:17 pmApprovals ?On-Track wrote: ↑Mon Jul 26, 2021 3:06 pmTo answer your question, the larger tank doesn't reduce boot space or ground clearance.
