The Porsche Macan Electric delivers on the brand's promise of sporty handling with its electric powertrain and luxurious crossover design.
The Macan Electric's handling delivers on its Porsche promise, marking an important change for Porsche , transforming its second best seller from gas power into an EV that brings a sporty flair to the luxury crossover SUV segment. Porsche outfits it with a 100-kWh battery beneath the floor with 95 kWh of usable capacity to unlock up to 315 miles of range and a minimum of 288 miles. An 800-volt electric architecture unlocks 10-80% charging in 21 minutes at a rate of up to 270 kW.
The Macan Electric rides a 113.9-inch wheelbase and is 188.9 inches long, topping the gas model by 2.4 and 2.3 inches, respectively. It has an updated look that reads as a next-generation version of the gas model rather than a new-age EV. The extra size doesn't pay off in more space inside. It will fit four adult passengers well (as long as none of them are too tall), but Porsche calls it a 4+1 rather than a true five-seater. Cargo space also tops out at 46.5 cubic feet, down from 53.5 cubes in the existing crossover. The Macan Electric offers three trims: the 4, 4S, and Turbo. Horsepower progresses to 402 in the 4, 509 in the 4S, and 630 in the Turbo. Like those power ratings, the 0-60 mph times top the gas version, dropping as low as 3.1 seconds for the Turbo. Like other EVs, the power is immediate and strong, and it's accompanied by either a spaceship whir or almost complete silence. Like the model it replaces, the Macan Electric retains traditional Porsche handling. The battery keeps the weight low and contributes to a near-perfect 48:52 front-to-rear weight balance. Attack a corner, and you can feel the weight quickly shifting under you before the the chassis takes a set then carves through the turn. Porsche provides the equipment to give it a naturally athletic feel and offers more to give it track capability. It has a standard air suspension and adaptive dampers. The standard ground clearance is 7.3 inches, but that can drop to 6.7 or even 6.1 inches and raise to 8.8 inches based on the driving mode
