Porsche Macan EV review –a good car, but is it a good EV?
Porsche's electric Macan SUV has gained popularity, with electric powertrains accounting for 44% of sales in the US this year. The company plans to discontinue the internal combustion engine (ICE) version, already done in Europe, while the gas version will remain available in the US until at least 2026. A review of the electric Macan highlights its performance and the transition from ICE to electric, reflecting on the experiences of a longtime EV driver.
Porsche lent us an electric Macan for a few days and we came away with plenty of thoughts about the already-popular electric SUV from one of the world’s most respected auto manufacturers.
Porsche’s new electric Macan mid-size SUV hit the road recently and is already quite popular, with the electric powertrain reportedly making up 44% of sales of Porsche’s most popular model in the US this year so far.
The company is actually preparing to discontinue the ICE Macan entirely – and already has in Europe. The gas guzzling version will remain on sale in the US through at least 2026, but the immediate popularity of the electric model will (hopefully?) make Porsche feel confident enough to push through the ICE discontinuation to the US.
So… how is that transition going? We got a chance to to test out the new electric Macan and tell you how it fares from the perspective of a longtime EV driver.
