Entertainment

The all-electric Porsche Macan is almost here. Ahead of deliveries later this year, the Porsche Macan EV was spotted in the US rolling down palm tree-filled streets. Check out the video below.

Porsche unveiled the electric version of its sporty SUV in January. The Porsche Macan EV is Porsche’s second all-electric model, following the Taycan.

After promising the electric SUV would be the “sportiest in its segment,” Porsche delivered with the Macan EV 4 and Turbo models. The Porsche Macan Turbo Electric packs up to 630 hp (470 kW) for a 0 to 60 mph sprint in 3.1 seconds. That’s quicker than the Tesla Model Y Performance (3.5 secs).

Porsche’s electric SUV starts at $75,300 with four trim options. The top Turbo model will cost at least $105,300.

Although EPA range estimates have yet to be revealed, the Macan electric gets up to 381 miles (613 km) WLTP range, so over 300 EPA miles range is expected.

Porsche CEO Oliver Blume revealed the Macan EV secured over 10,000 orders in March. Blume boasted buyers had not even seen the model yet. Although no new figures have been released, Blume said orders have “developed nicely.”

The electric Porsche Macan is expected to hit US showrooms later this year ahead of deliveries. Porsche also released a new 2025 Taycan model with more range, faster charging, and an even sportier design. The 2025 Porsche Taycan starts at $99,400.
