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 equipmentYou get a fair bit for your money with the Macan, including 19in alloy wheels, a powered tailgate, cruise control, three-zone climate control, front and rear parking sensors, and a 10-speaker 150-watt stereo. We'd upgrade the the more generously equipped Macan T, though.
The engine
See full engine specsThe entry-level Macan and the Macan T are powered by a 2.0-litre petrol engine with 261bhp. The T can officially do 0-60mph slightly quicker (5.8sec vs 6.0sec), but that's purely because it has a launch control function (part of the Sports Chrono Pack) fitted as standard. On the move, both build speed at the same rate and are quick enough for most buyers.
