Porsche has sold more than 800,000 units of its Macan crossover since 2015, with the little SUV consistently topping the brand’s sales charts while racking up accolades. Now the second-generation Macan is here, and it’s only going to be available with a fully electric powertrain. Simply called the 2024 Macan, Porsche promises the Macan EV will remain the sportiest choice in its segment.
The electric Macan is launching in two trims, Macan 4 and Macan Turbo, both of which have dual motors and all-wheel drive. The 402-horsepower Macan 4 will hit 60 mph in 4.9 seconds while the 630-hp Macan Turbo needs just 3.1 seconds, and every Macan EV comes standard with air suspension and is available with other advanced chassis features like rear-wheel steering. Its 800-volt PPE platform offers 270-kW charging capability, with EPA ranges likely to exceed 300 miles, and the interior is more practical and tech-filled.
When it goes on sale in the second half of this year, the Macan 4 will carry a base price of $80,450 and the Macan Turbo will start at $106,950. Powertrain, price and features aside, the Macan’s new styling (particularly the four-eye look) is sure to generate some controversy, so take a look through these slides to see it from every angle.
