With the development of electric vehicles accelerating at an unprecedented rate, there are now lots of models to choose from. Some offer compelling range figures and lots of on-board tech; others are capable of delivering an impressive turn of speed. But there are a select few that can provide the incisive driving experience of a true sports car – and even fewer still that do not compromise on other aspects.
The all-electric Porsche Macan is just such a car. Whether you are looking for something that suits both your daily commute and your weekend canyon-carving sessions, or a more interesting way for you and your family to travel, this athletic-yet-practical SUV has you covered.
It all starts with the driving experience. Sure, the Macan is capable of satisfying the speed demon in you, no matter which version you choose – even the standard Macan produces 340 PS, getting you from zero to 100 km/h in 5.7 seconds. Step all the way up to the Macan Turbo and you get a compact SUV that produces 639 PS and can rocket to 100 km/h in as little as 3.3 seconds.
But what truly sets the Macan apart is the trademark Porsche driving experience, with sharp and precise steering and ironclad body control. With available Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), active air suspension and rear-axle steering, you can tweak the car’s handling characteristics even further to suit your mood, whether you want a more agile chassis setup or a smoother ride.
The Macan’s driver-focused interior is the perfect place in which to savour the drive, with a particularly sporty driving position, a distinct lack of gimmicks and plenty of touch and physical controls within your reach. That does not mean the car is austere, with a 12.6-inch instrument display, a high-resolution 10.9-inch Porsche Communication Management (PCM) touchscreen and an optional 10.9-inch passenger display and augmented reality head-up display.
Also on offer is room for all that life can throw at you, with ample space for five adults plus a boot that’s larger than the previous petrol-powered Macan at 540 litres – expandable to 1,348 litres with the rear seats folded. And just like with Porsche’s iconic two-door sports cars, there’s a frunk that swallows an additional 84 litres.
Performance is nothing if your EV does not have the range to use it, which is why the Macan comes standard with a 100 kWh battery, enabling you to travel up to 641 km on a single charge. And once you do eventually deplete the battery, you can quickly get charged back up again – just ten minutes of charging will let you travel a further 250 km, thanks to its support for up to 270 kW of DC fast charging.
All that is before you get to the Porsche-exclusive perks, such as a Shell Recharge Platinum membership that allows you to charge the Macan at preferential rates as low as RM0.80 per kWh, as well as the ability to reserve a charging bay up to one hour in advance. You also get complimentary charging at the high-powered 350 kW DC chargers at Porsche Centres nationwide.
Peace of mind is afforded through a two-year warranty and an eight-year battery warranty. Unique to Porsche vehicles, you can extend the warranty all the way up to 15 years, ensuring that your Macan will be taken care of for a very long time.
So there you have it, the all-electric Porsche Macan – a practical, comfortable compact electric SUV that drives like only a Porsche can. And you can still enjoy one tax-free, as there are selected units with their 2025 prices locked in. Experience it today by taking a test drive at your nearest Porsche Centre.
