The 2025 Porsche Macan Electric draws its inspiration from gas-powered Macan models, but there are also clear differences that set this electric version apart from its ancestors. For starters, the Macan Electric features a much lower ride height than its gas-powered cousins, giving it a hunched and aggressive feel, like a cheetah ready to pounce. Combine that with its wide stance, squared grille openings, and range of unique colors and you have a high-class SUV that isn't shy about its looks.

Performance is where the Macan 4 Electric and Macan Turbo Electric truly find their differences, so we'll go through each specifically so you know exactly what to expect when you get behind the wheel. As is typical of Porsche, the Macan 4 Electric is the base of the two models, but it's no slouch. At 402 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque, the Macan 4 EV rips it way to 60 mph in just over four seconds thanks to instant torque and all-wheel drive.

Meanwhile, the Macan Turbo Electric takes things to stratospheric heights thanks to 630 horsepower and a staggering 833 pound-feet of torque. That gets you to 60 mph in just 3.1 seconds and on track it can break 160 mph before aerodynamics take over to attenuate your acceleration. And both Macan Electric models offer adaptive dampers, torque vectoring, and available rear-steer for added maneuverability in tight spaces.

Safety gets a big overhaul in the 2025 Porsche Macan Electric. While Porsche has been reticent to bog down its sports cars with equipment performance drivers may not want, like driver assistance tech, the Macan Electric comes standard with forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, pedestrian detection, and lane departure warning with a lane-keeping assist. Plus, adaptive cruise control is available as an added extra, and blind-spot monitoring comes with a surround-view camera package that also assists with parking in tight spaces.
