2024 Porsche Macan Electric | MotorWeek First Drive

Once upon a time, the idea of Porsche building an SUV seemed crazy…let alone an electric vehicle. But both have worked out pretty well for the brand. Now it’s time to put the two together. This is the 2024 Porsche Macan Electric and Jessica Ray recently headed to the south of France to get behind the wheel for a first drive! #Porsche #Macan #PorscheMacan

Attractive looking car. The rear reminds me of those old fastback 40s cars.

How much does that tank (panzer?) weigh?

Looks like the Ford Mustang Mach-E, Maserati Grecale Folgore, Audi Q4 e-tron, Cadillac Optiq, BMW iX3/iX4 Neue Klasse, Genesis GV70 EV, Mercedes EQC SUV (GLC EV), Tesla Model Y, Lexus RZ, and Polestar P4 may have to watch out for what Porsche's new Macan EV will have for them.

Good to know, ICE Macans are still going to be built. For now..

3:54 I like the sliding retracting charge port door! Why didn't anyone think of that before?

another blast up Palms to Pines Highway~ my 2021 Macan gts was nice but not comfy on long trips.

How can an EV car be listed as a "Turbo" model?

[Canadian_Gamer]

Who in the real world outside of a high powered lawyer or a doctor could ever afford one of these things lol

[winstoncheng]

same as ID.4 and Q4 e-tron? the back seats look nearly identical.

I want an electric Maca. I need an electric Macan. Now, how to obtain one. That is the question!

[tino]

Did you see that Jet or was it a UFO?🤔😀

[ddrennon]

South of France, eh? Sacrifices have to be made.

It seems like the features/price point on this car will undercut the Taycan Cross Turismo. Looking forward to the full road test.

I want this car to be my daily driver. The one and only that can make me switch from gas to EVs

[Vesper]

Can't wait to get this used for $40k a year later!

[nathanwright]

is the gas one going to look like this too, or is the gas one going to be the outgoing model?

[eddieg]

Almost everyone in California…..YAY! Flyover states……..UGH! 🤷🏼‍♂️😂🤷🏼‍♂️😂😎

EVs and hybrid are the future hate them or like them. As charging and battery tech improves the energy efficiency of and EV is going to be unbeaten.

1:50 Macan 4, 48/52 weight distribution; better buy
2:30 Macan ‘turbo’
3:40 100 kWh pack
4:00 ~300 mile range; tech
4:30 $80-107k

[glovedcop]

Turbo with no Turbo only in spirt? I hope that spirt is relected in the price.
