Verdict
The move to electric power is a big change for the Porsche Macan. Of course, for some drivers, its lack of a combustion engine may be a hurdle too large to overcome but for many motorists, this new battery-powered Macan’s great performance – which will come at far lower costs than before if you can use low-price home charging – will make it just as appealing as its predecessor. It’s also impressively agile and feels, more than anything, like a ‘proper’ Porsche from behind the wheel.
While the added performance of this 4S does give the Macan more excitement, we’d argue that the greater range of the single-motor variant – and its lower price – could make it a more appealing option for buyers.
