title：All-Electric Porsche Macan Review: Drive & Value

content：Opening Hook

If you’re hunting for an electric SUV that doesn’t trade fun for practicality, the all-electric Porsche Macan might be your answer. Autocar’s recent test drive of the new Macan reveals how Porsche kept its driving DNA intact while going fully electric. After analyzing their review, I’ll break down what makes this EV stand out from the crowd.

content：Key Specs & Bespoke EV Platform

The all-electric Macan uses a bespoke electric vehicle platform—no shared parts with the ICE version, not even the nose badge. For the 4 trim (tested here), two motors (front and rear) deliver nearly 400 horsepower, with motors positioned behind the axles to mimic the 911’s weight balance. At 2.3 tons, it’s heavier than the ICE Macan, but its center of gravity is 140mm lower—critical for stability and handling.

Inside, the Macan offers a driver-focused layout with physical climate controls (a win over touchscreen-only systems) and a round Porsche steering wheel. The driving position is adjustable—low for a sporty feel or high for a commanding view. Front space is ample, and rear seating fits a 5’10 person with enough knee and headroom (even with an optional sunroof). The frunk is small (ideal for charge cables), and the boot is respectable—though the load lip is high, and the sloped rear limits maximum cargo space. Note: there’s no rear wiper, a common omission in modern EVs but a minor con.

The Macan feels like a Porsche—period. The steering is firm and direct, with good road feedback. Active rear steer (optional) makes it feel smaller than its 4.7m length, great for tight car parks and corners. Suspension options (coil with adaptive dampers or air) let you tailor the ride, and the low center of gravity reduces body roll. Regen is accessible via the screen (not paddles), but Porsche says most users stick to one setting. Unlike some EVs (like the Jaguar I-Pace), this Macan maintains Porsche’s signature driving feel—agile, stable, and rewarding.

content：Pricing & Value Proposition

The base 4 trim starts at £70k in the UK, with options pushing it to £80k. For many buyers, this is a company car or financed purchase. Company car tax benefits (lower for EVs) and home charging make it a compelling daily driver. You can skip some options (like the sunroof) without losing core appeal.

content：Toolbox & Actionable Steps

1. Test drive a Macan with active rear steer to experience its maneuverability.
2. Check rear space with your family to ensure it fits your needs.
3. Ask your dealer about company car tax rates for the Macan.
4. Compare option costs—prioritize features like adaptive dampers over non-essential extras.
5. Plan home charging setup (a must for EV ownership).
