Review of the 2025 Porsche Macan 4S Electric Model: Notable Figures that Impressed
Porsche Macan EV: A Balance of Performance, Luxury, and Usability
Porsche has unveiled its latest electric offering, the Macan EV, a luxury electric SUV that promises to deliver a driving experience reminiscent of its gas-powered predecessor. The Macan EV comes in four trims - Base, 4, 4S, and Turbo - each offering varying levels of power and range.
The base Macan EV is rear-wheel drive and produces 355 hp. The Turbo trim, on the other hand, offers a staggering 630 hp. The Macan 4S, in particular, is all-wheel drive with a power output of 510 hp and 605 lb-ft of torque.
The Macan 4S Electric's estimated range is an impressive 463 km, according to Porsche. After fully charging the vehicle, the displayed max range was 459 km. It can add 106 km of range in just 30 minutes when charged with a 50 kW Hydro-Québec Circuit Électrique charger.
The Macan EV's range is designed to balance performance, luxury, and usability. This is achieved through a 95 kWh battery pack paired with advanced battery management and fast-charging capabilities, allowing rapid recharge from 10% to 80% in about 21 minutes at 270 kW DC fast chargers.
Porsche's emphasis on performance and sporty driving dynamics, the use of a high-voltage (800V) electrical architecture, design choices maintaining a low center of gravity, and the Macan EV’s rear-wheel or all-wheel drive configurations with synchronous electric motors all contribute to this range.
In comparison to other luxury electric SUVs in its price range, the Macan EV's range (approx. 260-315 miles EPA, and up to ~400 miles for some trims by manufacturer claims) is competitive and often superior. Its fast charging capability at 270 kW is on par with other premium electric vehicles, offering reduced downtime on long trips.
The Macan focuses heavily on driver experience and sporty handling, whereas some competitors might prioritize maximum range or interior space over driving dynamics. The Macan’s balance of performance, luxury, and usable range is a distinguishing factor.
While some rivals may offer slightly higher nominal ranges, Porsche’s integration of performance, charging speed, and brand prestige positions the Macan EV as a leading contender within the luxury EV SUV segment.
The Macan 4S Electric has two charging ports, one on each rear fender, and a price tag of $125,350 before taxes, options, and fees in Canada. The pricing for the 2025 Porsche Macan EV starts at $100,882 in Canada, and approximately 50 units of the 2025 Macan EV are currently in dealer stock across Quebec. Porsche is offering subsidized lease rates to help move the Macan EVs.
In summary, the Porsche Macan EV delivers a luxury electric SUV with a driving character close to its gas-powered predecessor, ensuring the range supports spirited daily driving and longer trips without sacrificing the dynamic Porsche experience.
