Review

The 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 4S 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. 

With 510bhp and an official 0-62mph of 4.1 seconds, we imagine many of even the keenest owners being perfectly happy with a 4S. However, once you've added a few choice options you're not far away on price from the range-topping Turbo.
