This 2025 Porsche Macan Electric may look familiar, as we drove a ’24 model just a few months ago. Well, we recently headed back to Europe– this time Stuttgart, Germany— for a First Drive of two new trims, the base Macan and Macan 4S.

As we’ve seen in other EV-utilities, the Base is strictly rear-wheel drive, using a single electric motor for 335 horsepower, or 355 with Launch Control on. The large battery pack, shared between all trims, is rated at 95 kilowatt-hours of usable energy; expect 315 miles in the Base.

The Macan 4S sees just 288 miles of range, but gains a surge in power: 442 horsepower or 509 ponies with launch control, thanks to an additional motor mounted up front making it an all-wheel-drive layout.

Neither are the crème of the Macan Electric crop; the Turbo we sampled earlier this year uses a beefier rear motor for a peak 630 horsepower. But we found few sacrifices behind the wheel of either of these new models.

All Macan Electrics ride on single-chamber air suspension with Porsche Active Suspension Management. Paired to a 52/48 weight distribution and low center of gravity, and the Macan Electric is performance-geared at all levels.

DAVE SCRIVENER: “Each of the four Macan models has a distinct performance profile, tailored to a certain driver’s wants and needs. You’re not giving up on performance with the base model Macan even. You have all the luxury, the technology, the features, and the driving dynamics you expect in a Porsche, and it doesn’t feel like it’s built to a price.”

The 2025 Porsche Macan Electric starts around $75,000 for the Base, with the 4S starting for about 10-grand more.
