Auto123 gets in a first test drive of the 2025 Porsche Macan EV, the first electric version of the German brand's most popular SUV.
Cap d'Antibes, France - Porsche has been talking about it for almost two years, and now it's time to drive the Macan EV.
Like the Taycan, the Macan EV is built on an 800-volt architecture. This means DC charging capacities of up to 270 kW, enough to charge the 100-kWh battery from 10 to 80 percent in just 21 minutes, under ideal conditions. This rounded aesthetic, which helps distinguish the EV from the gasoline model , serves another purpose as well. Porsche has worked on the drag coefficient to reduce it to 0.25, thus contributing to improved range. The gasoline model has a coefficient of 0.35.Electrification has a secondary benefit in many models, and so it is here: the Macan EV's luggage space is bigger. Depending on model and equipment, capacity behind the rear bench seat can reach 540 litres .
Like all Porsche models, performance remains at the heart of the Macan EV's philosophy. The fastest version, the twin-engine Macan Turbo, develops a maximum output of 630 hp and 833 lb-ft of torque. This enables it to reach 100 km/h in a blistering 3.3 seconds, and you'll be able to reach 260 km/h. With a weight of 2,405 kg for the Macan 4 and 2,480 kg for the Macan turbo, you can see how it takes advanced technical know-how and equipment to keep this vehicle steady on the road. Porsche succeeds brilliantly. Acceleration is ferocious. All-wheel drive distribution is governed by the selected driving program.
Porsche Canada hasn't announced any figures for here yet, but we believe range will be around 600 km for the Macan 4 and 540 km for the Macan Turbo.
