Porsche Macan Electric GTS 5dr PDK 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 price jump between the S and GTS looks a lot more palatable when you consider all of the desirable extras that you get. These include upgraded LED headlights, a sports exhaust and air suspension. Visual changes include black side mouldings, a black grille, black bumper detailing front and rear, black 21in alloy wheels and a roof spoiler.
The engine
See full engine specsThe GTS is the fastest version of the Macan. It has the same basic engine as the S but with more power, and can do 0-60mph in just 4.1 seconds if you add the optional Sports Chrono Pack. It's a lovely thing, even is cheaper versions offer better value.
