The Macan EV takes the small SUV to the next level, with its roomier cabin, impressive power and upgraded technology. What's another vehicle that you'd like to see get the electric treatment? Let us know in the comments below!

well it's all most 140 thousands ....yet... Hyundai makes better car such as Inonic 5n with cost about 50 thousands ... now in electric car era.. German is not leading company any more among car industry.. lol well check this out .. first of all, Porsche’s electric cars have lower inductance than Hyundai/Kia cars, so the efficiency of regenerative braking is low. The reason why inductance control is important in electric motors is because output and power generation must be alternated. Therefore, there is no choice but to lose money in the Taycan’s driving range. In addition, the Macan EV’s regenerative braking is 0,4G. In order to control the heavy 2.4-ton body and the enormous output of 639 horsepower without any problems, you must purchase carbon ceramic brakes as an option. The Macan EV has a curb weight of 2.4 tons based on the turbo model, which is 200 kg heavier than the IONIQ 5 N. The 100kWh NCM lithium-ion battery mounted on the Macan EV is CATL’s NCM811 (made in China) while ionic 5n uses 9/half/half LG bettery pack which has much better performances

Thank you a great review beautiful EV , I have to say I see a big similarity in the Genesis GV 60 which is what I have , the only thing is here in Canada the price is to high for me but it has to be one of the best SUV EV's coming out . Thank you.

Very Urus looking at the front end. Will be interesting to see how quickly or if they roll out a Turbo S version. Hoping it doesn’t suffer depreciation like the Taycan

It's fascinating to see the array of opinions and insights on the latest EV from Porsche. The comparison to cell phones highlights the fast-paced evolution and subsequent value drop in the EV market.

I'd rather save the USD $4400 that is extra (via the ICE Macan) for the air suspension and the glass roof, and have neither (9:25). Both are very prone to breaking, leaking, etc., and they add extra weight, thereby reducing range. Let people who want those things to pay extra for them, and I'll be happy without them and saving my money (and gaining the extra range). I also wish that Porsche would let people get 19-inch wheels/tires standard in the Macan Electric, again to save money and weight/range.

And adequate AC power will be a premium. All the premium vehicles should have 80amps standard. So far, only Cadillac is the only premium vehicle with 80amp AC.

It’s an EV! It has no turbocharger so lose the I C E technology Turbo badging. Come up with a different label to differentiate the high horsepower variant.

Or how about a two lightning ⚡️⚡️bolt badge. 3:52 Or even a plus sign ➕ which looks like the letter “t” simple understated and is the first letter in the word ……….. turbo. LOL Words adjectives mean something. For a brilliant company the marketing division of Porsche is out of touch. Does Rimac use the term Turbo, does Tesla, does Lucid etc etc etc? If you are embracing the EV embrace the appropriate technology badging. Customers will not be confused if you stop using Turbo badging on an EV.

The EV trend is unstoppable. I am not an EV fan but Europe and Asia will tax and eventually ban ICE cars and manufacturers know this so they are switching their R&D money into EVs. America might try to hold out but the change to EVs is inevitable. This is due to government regulations. If you want a big V8 then buy one and keep it as a classic because at some point they will stop making them. This is a worldwide trend.

Great job Porsche on the much needed redesign but back design is weak, needs help.

Porche should provide stock cars for testers on track but they don't. I don't believe their EV tech... Can this Macan beat Hyundai Ioniq 5 N? Hyundai gave their stock version 5 N for tester to test on Nurburgring and recorded 7m 45s on the track but Porche has record just they tested themselves.
