The 2025 Porsche Macan EV has the performance and power you'd expect from the badge and also provides a comfortable ride. It's more expensive than its competition and can't hold a whole lot of stuff, but if you value a fun driving experience and solid range, the electric Macan is a good choice.Read full review
The Porsche Macan EV is, first of all, an entirely different vehicle than the gas-powered Macan. It relies on the same formula, though: It's a luxury SUV with an emphasis on performance. Porsche added two new trims for the 2025 Macan, giving you a range of power options starting at 335 horsepower on the base Macan Electric and topping out at 576 hp for the Macan Turbo. We dig the electric Macan's performance capabilities but are less enthused with its high price and lack of standard features. Read our full Expert Rating to see if the Macan EV is right for you.
We drove the 2025 Porsche Macan on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.
Driving experience
7.3/10
How does the Porsche Macan drive? The Macan lineup offers varying degrees of performance from adequate to serious. At our test track, we tested the Macan 4 and the potent Turbo model. The Macan 4 sprinted to 60 mph in a respectable but not impressive 4.8 seconds, while the Turbo nearly blurred our vision with a time of just 3.1 seconds. Both Macans felt docile and were easy to drive smoothly in city traffic. Unlike most other EVs, the Macan EV doesn't have full one-pedal driving, which is where you lift off the accelerator pedal and regenerative braking engages to slow you down and even bring you to a stop without touching the brake pedal.
Whichever Macan you choose, it'll have better handling and braking abilities than many of its rivals. The Turbo we tested was fitted with optional high-performance summer tires, recorded a neck-stretching 1.01 g around our skidpad, and it had no issue keeping up with some serious sports cars on twisting backroads.
The advanced driver aids are a bit of a letdown. Not only do many systems cost extra, but we found some to be overly sensitive to everyday occurrences. The forward collision warning system, for example, activated in response to vehicles parked on the side of the road.
Comfort
6.2/10
How comfortable is the Porsche Macan? Like many luxury EVs, the Macan prioritizes a quiet and comfortable cabin. With the synthetic EV soundtrack shut off, the interior borders on serene, no doubt helped by our test cars' optional insulated windows. It's easy to get into the front seats thanks to the Macan's relatively low ride height, and no matter which seats you order, they're plenty comfortable. Rear passengers will not be as happy. The door openings are large enough, but legroom is at a premium, making it difficult to slide in and get comfortable. Other SUVs in this class do not struggle with rear legroom like the Macan does, making these seats only really suitable for kids.
The Macan's climate control is a little less convoluted to use than the systems in other Porsches thanks to manually (not digitally) adjustable vents. The rest of the controls are fairly similar and straightforward. Our test vehicles had four-zone climate control, which includes the ability for the driver to shut off every other zone to maximize efficiency. The Eco mode struggled to cool the cabin on warm days, but the system otherwise works well.
In-cabin tech
9.1/10
How’s the tech? The Macan EV uses Porsche's most up-to-date interface. The navigation system works great, and it's cool how you can project directions through the available head-up display. The route planner is very useful on long-distance drives, allowing you to customize your level of charge as you go. You can also integrate your smartphone wirelessly through Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. From wireless charging to four USB-C ports, there are ample charging opportunities.
Storage & cargo
5.9/10
How’s storage and cargo? With 19.1 cubic feet available under its hatch and an additional 3 cubes in reserve in the frunk, the electric Macan has space for most of your day-to-day hauling. But when compared to rivals like Tesla's Model Y, the Genesis GV70 Electrified and the Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV, the Macan comes up a little short in overall capacity.
Interior storage is plentiful, although not much of it can be concealed from prying eyes. The door pockets are big enough for most drinks, and even backseat passengers will have some space for personal items.
The Macan Electric is rated to tow 4,409 pounds when properly equipped. That's exceeds the rating for the Ford Mustang Mach-E and the Model Y.
Value
5.8/10
Is the Porsche Macan a good value? While Porsche does give the buyer a lot of flexibility in choosing personalization options, there's no getting around the Macan EV's elevated price tag. Even if the interior is a little drab, at least the Macan backs up that price tag with excellent levels of fit and finish, both inside and out.
Warranty coverage is standard for a luxury brand, with four years/50,000 miles of bumper-to-bumper coverage and eight years/100,000 miles for the battery. Porsche includes four years/50,000 miles of roadside assistance as well as a year of complimentary 30-minute charging sessions at Electrify America stations.
Range/Efficiency/Charging
7.9/10
How are the range and efficiency? We drove a Macan 4 and a Macan Turbo, each fitted with 21-inch wheels. The EPA estimates the Macan 4's range at 308 miles and the more powerful Turbo's at 288 miles. In our independent Edmunds EV Range Test, the Macan 4 achieved a range of 351.7 miles. That's an impressive showing for an all-wheel-drive SUV. The Turbo clocked 301 miles, also impressive given its performance capabilities. As for efficiency, we measured 29 kWh/100 miles for the Macan 4 and 33 kWh/100 miles for the Turbo on our test route, both proving more efficient than their EPA estimates.
Quick charging speed is another Macan advantage. In our independent Edmunds EV Charging Test, we saw even greater peak charging speeds of 285 kilowatts than what Porsche states (270 kW), with the Macan 4 replenishing 100 miles of range in just over eight minutes and the Macan Turbo needing less than 10 minutes to do the same. Road-tripping a Macan EV should be pretty easy thanks to its long range and quick charging.
X factor
7/10
The Macan EV inspires confidence in its driver for everyday situations as well as fun ones. Handling is crisp and intuitive and is balanced by just the right amount of power and traction to deliver genuine exhilaration. Its compact size, supple ride quality, and excellent range and efficiency numbers are only icing on the cake. If performance is more important than range, the Turbo model delivers the kind of numbers you expect from the Porsche badge.
Yes, it is expensive, but this isn't a new thing for Porsches. Part of that expense comes from the ability to fully customize the electric Macan and part of it comes down to just how well rounded this electric SUV really is. While Porschephiles might balk at yet another SUV, and an electric one at that, the Macan EV is plenty good enough to attract new buyers as well as win over some of the brand's faithful yet stubborn loyalists.

2025 Porsche Macan Electric pricing in Ashburn, VA
The 2025 Porsche Macan is a small SUV that's available as a traditional gas-powered version or an all-new electric. The gas version is available in four forms: base Macan, sporty Macan T, Macan S and Macan GTS. The Macan EV comes in four versions: Electric, 4 Electric, 4S Electric and Turbo Electric. Keep reading for more details about the Macan's most significant standard and optional features. We'll cover the gas-powered Macan first and then the electric Macan. Compare the 2025 Porsche Macan trim levels in-depth.
Which Macan trim does Edmunds recommend?
We recommend the Macan 4 thanks to its combination of performance and value, especially compared to the top-of-the-line Turbo version. It's well equipped with technology and driver assist features, preventing the options overload that often comes part and parcel with Porsche ownership.
Competitors to consider
We'd recommend checking out the BMW iX and Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV. These two electric SUVs are roomier and more practical than the Macan EV. They aren't quite as fun to drive, however. A new alternative for 2025 is Audi's Q6 E-tron. It shares much of its underlying EV hardware with the Macan, meaning it has similar range and power. The main difference is the Q6 E-tron's classier-looking interior.
Edmunds spotlight: Two new trims join the Macan EV party
Porsche added two new trims to the 2025 Macan EV: a base trim that is rear-wheel-drive only and a sporty 4S trim that adds a new electric motor to the all-wheel-drive Macan 4. If you're more interested in range than power, the base Macan Electric is worth a look. It gets the longest range of the EV lineup with an EPA-estimated 315 miles of range. Meanwhile, the new 4S could be appealing as a less expensive — but still high-performance — alternative to the electric Macan Turbo.
2025 Porsche Macan 4S Electric 4dr SUV AWD (electric DD)
This is my first EV but my 3rd Porsche. I’ve owned the gas MacanS and a 911 4S Cabriolet. Not to mention many other cars in the past. This car is everything I wanted in both a daily small and practical around town car and a road tripping beast. No issues with range anxiety given its relatively large battery and fast charging speed. It’s comfortable and quiet not to mention it’s … incredibly fast (it’s a 4S) and handles the way a Porsche SUV should. It’s not a Taycan nor a 911 but it’s loads of fun and more practical. It has some software glitches but few and now far between. It doesn’t have anything like FSD but I wouldn’t want that on a Porsche. I bought it to drive it and Innodrive on the highway is fine on long hauls to rest some. CarPlay and the HUD work extremely well and the trip planner is excellent and quick when you need it. It can now use Tesla Superchargers so that’s an added bonus on long trips. However, I wouldn’t buy an SUV unless you have a home or local level 2 charger available. No regrets after close to 6k miles. It is expensive but given the speed of evolution of EV technology, I leased it and don’t regret that choice. I recommend either the 4S if you want a balance of range and speed or the RWD if you want super range with a better price. Both are excellent and the RWD is much better than the base ICE Macan in almost every way.

2025 Porsche Macan 4S Electric 4dr SUV AWD (electric DD)
This car is about driving dynamics. Although the price is hard to justify, and it lacks the sophistication of Tesla software, the car is head and shoulders above any other EV once you get behind the wheel and start driving it. It has been engineered to drive and handle like a Porsche. Meaning that there is no one pedal driving, and all the controls are where they should be, and not … buried under sub-menus in a huge central screen. The interior is all Porsche, and not Chevy-like, as in all other SUVs.
The build quality is high, and the interior and exterior design is way above any other EV.
No maintenance issues so far, and dealer delivery and set up were exemplary (Huntington Porsche).
So if you can afford it, this is a great car.
12K update. No issues or changes in my review. Have not had the latest software update as it seems buggy and needs at least a day at the dealership. OTA is certainly almost non-existent.
