Porsche Macan Electric Review: The new benchmark EV SUV?

The Porsche Macan can now be ordered in electric form, but should you consider it over the petrol equivalent? And how does it differentiate itself from the vast number of other electric SUVs on sale?

In this CarGurus UK review, Vicky Parrott tests the new Macan 4 Electric to see how it stacks up. Would you consider buying one?

One of my favourite reviewers and first one I go to if there are options.

Nice one Vicki!

[ViewBothSides]

Wow the biggest news here is this new car actually has tactile up/down knobs for the AC.

[BenEngel]

Don’t you have the cheapest version, the RWD (just Macan) and/or the 4S, just under the Turbo, in the UK?

[GarryM]

Good luck with the towing when it comes to charging because that’s not going to be easy at most charging stations plus I’d like to know how many miles you lose when towing because I bet you’ll be filling up more often!
Lovely car though.

[shaywhelan]

I'd agree with Vicki. Just because you have the potential power and speed, doesn't mean you want to use it all the time. The car seems colour sensitive. White doesn't suit it

In Canada this starts at 101k CAD. No you won't be seeing a ton of these driving around.

I actually like the new design more than previous version but would, love for it to still be available with V6 engine GTS❤❤❤❤
Vicky great review keep it up

[gavinwhite]

It actually seems good value versus Polestar3, Volvo, BMW, Mercedes, which is almost a sad thing to say. When a ford Capri pushes nearly 60k, this looks a far better buy. However, I seem to have blinked and become priced out of new cars.

[ThrottleBody]

Macan of your dreams costs a whole lot more than £5-£10k in options lol. I struggle yo get under 10k in option when im being stingy! £15-£20k is all too easy.

[jxkr]

I wouldn't mind betting that all the seats they make have the heating elements in them and the optional charge just activates them!

[g-forcepcrepair]

Great video, do you know when the PHEV is coming out?

[strbuk]

Keyless entry is optional. Seriously…oh well that’s Porsche for you.

[jak]

The badge will help sell this but take it off and it could easily be a Chinese knock off.

[lorenzoharrison]

The style doesn’t look good to me. The older models with engines look much better.

[marcbungener]

Better drive than my slow charging (which doesn’t bother me at all) Jaguar i-Pace ?

[Beauloqs]

....will it hold its value as well as the tin can?

[sixpotshot]

They will pile up in the forecourts like unpalatable cakes...Peel off the badge and it looks like a Chinese electrotrash clone. Shame on this company once famous for its sports cars and now working as a VW clone bar its minimal GT range. A note on options: it becomes easily expensive but Porsche has got this right still: one a few companies that lets you option your car exactly like you want. Journalists need not to worry: we say the words they can't...

[DreamCarGarage]

Let's race the new Macan against the Taycan to see which is the fastest ....depreciator! Or, just save your money and buy a Hyundai IoniqN

[Redsquirrel]

And the “electric” Turbo, has no “Turbocharger “.. iconic name of the past being miss used… next model 16Valves….?

[allendavid]

A depreciating hippo, I’d take a ICE GTS it’s cheaper, and you don’t need a load of apps on a screen telling you where you’ll have to charge, it also looks incredibly wide going down a two way road
