Porsche Macan Electric 265kW 100kWh 5dr Auto Review

The model
Read full reviewThe Porsche Macan Electric is a fine electric SUV, offering a long range, fast charging, a high-quality interior and competitive practicality. But if you're after a sports SUV, you have to choose carefully. The cheaper versions don't feel especially fast and don't ride or handle as well as the best rivals unless you spend extra on air suspension. The 4S is where things get interesting, because it’s properly quick. Meanwhile, the GTS brings the whole package together and is truly great rather than merely good; it has more performance than you could ever need, and gets mechanical upgrades that make it genuinely thrilling to drive without sacrificing comfort or everyday usability.
The trim
See full equipmentThe entry-level model gets 20in alloy wheels, heated eight-way electric front seats, a powered tailgate, steel suspension, LED headlights, two-zone climate control, wireless phone-charging and a heat pump.
The engine
See full engine specsWith "just" 335bhp, is the entry-level model fast enough? Well, the answer depends on your expectations. It doesn’t punch you in the gut like the Turbo flagship, but with instant torque, it feels sprightly in everyday driving, and there’s enough low-down shove to play with the car’s balance on a country road.
