2025 Porsche Macan Base & Macan 4S | MotorWeek First Drive

We've now had a second go in the 2025 Porsche Macan Electric, this time hitting its hometown roads around Stuttgart, Germany in the base Macan & Macan 4 S, which round out the four initial model offerings, joining the Macan 4 and Macan Turbo we drove a few months ago.

Europe has stricter environmental regulations than we do and a better charging infrastructure, distances are also shorter than in the US.

So down for a pre-owned Macan 4 in a few years. Already looking at Taycan in the $60k range on dealer lots.

Jeez, all the dinosaurs on here bashing EV's. Think about it: in a generation from now - 2044 - your comments today throwing shade on EVs will read silly. So so silly.

On that electric car, can you shut off the sound effects and run silent?

Now that Porsche has reversed course on going EV-only, what will replace the gas-run Macan now?

My Calabasas, California neighborhood already has several! 😎🥂

No ev for me! Got to be hybrid or turbo!

I wish the video title said it was electric, could have saved me a click.

I love electric no maintenance and you save the planet and don’t feel guilty 😊😊

$75k for a base? You'll be able to pick one up in 3 years for less than

Another uninspiring EV crossover? No thanks….hard pass! 🤨🤔🤦‍♂️

[TimGi]

A Turbo without a Turbo - That probably only makes sense in the EV world…🤷🤔

Kind of looks like it has a thyroid condition.

[TrailBlazerSS]

Another Tesla wannabe, with a gargantuan size price tag? Not in my garage.

[BayAreaLuxuryRealEstate]

DO NOT BUY: Can’t stop the sunroof flooding on my Macan S, fourth time. HATE my Macan, worst Porsche ever made, gear problems, too. Done with it.

Porsches best selling model, it will be a flop

[dohc]

Ironically, now Porsche sales are flat, and no one wants their cars, let alone an EV.

Thanks Porsche, for making used gasoline Macans worth more.

[MrMustangrick]

Ugly expensive electric…..no thanks. Rather have ICE Macan.

They have to lie just to get people to even watch
