NEW PORSCHE MACAN ELECTRIC REVIEW! BEST ELECTRIC SPORTS SUV?

EV Channels Review

The all-new Porsche Macan Electric aims to replicate the success of its petrol counterpart, and largely succeeds. The reviewer praises its engaging driving dynamics, noting excellent steering feedback, balanced handling, and impressive agility, especially with optional rear-wheel steering. The interior is lauded for its familiar, driver-focused layout, high-quality materials, and particularly the physical climate controls and responsive infotainment system with an optional passenger screen. Practicality is improved over the petrol Macan, with increased rear legroom and a respectable boot space, though the Turbo model loses some underfloor storage for a subwoofer. Performance is strong across the range, with the Turbo model delivering blistering acceleration. The claimed range is impressive, with the RWD model reaching up to 398 miles and the Turbo around 367 miles. Charging is also rapid, capable of 10-80% in just 20 minutes at 270 kW. Downsides include the high starting price, which escalates significantly with options, and the optional 22-inch wheels which can compromise ride comfort and increase road noise. Despite these points, the Macan Electric is deemed a top-tier electric sports SUV, outshining rivals and offering a more refined, practical, and faster experience than its predecessor.
