Design & Exterior

It sports Porsche’s signature four-point LED daytime running lights and a coupe-like sloping roofline that screams performance. Active aerodynamic elements help it cheat the wind. Dimension-wise, it measures 188.3 inches long, 76.3 inches wide (without mirrors), and 63.9 inches tall, giving it a planted, purposeful stance. This RWD trim maintains the aggressive look, setting a new benchmark for electric SUV styling.

Interior, Tech & Cargo

Inside, the Macan RWD Electric is pure Porsche: a driver-focused cockpit brimming with high-quality materials and impeccable fit and finish. It seats five comfortably, with a stunning curved digital instrument cluster and a large central touchscreen for the latest Porsche Communication Management (PCM), including standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. You even get a handy 3.0 ft³ frunk up front, complementing the 19.1 ft³ trunk. Fold the rear seats, and that expands to a generous 47.6 ft³ – pretty practical for a sporty SUV!

Performance & Driving Experience

This RWD Macan Electric is no slouch, zipping from 0-60 mph in a brisk 5.4 seconds! Its single Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) churns out 250 kW (around 335 hp) and a solid 415 lb-ft of torque, all sent to the rear wheels for that classic Porsche feel. Expect engaging, agile handling that Porsches are famed for, coupled with a surprisingly comfortable ride. The regenerative braking is tunable, allowing for one-pedal driving in certain modes, making city driving a breeze and recouping energy like a champ.

Range, Battery & Charging

The Macan RWD Electric packs a 95 kWh usable battery, delivering a Green Cars Compare calculated real-world range of around 313 miles – plenty for daily duties and road trips. Efficiency is rated at a decent 3.29 mi/kWh. Thanks to its 800V architecture, it can DC fast charge at a mega 270 kW, potentially juicing up from 10-80% in about 21 minutes at a compatible station via its CCS Type 1 port. For home charging, the standard 9.6 kW on-board charger will top it up overnight.

Safety & Driver-Assistance Features

While official NHTSA and IIHS safety ratings for the 2025 Macan Electric are pending its US launch, expect Porsche's commitment to safety to shine through. Standard driver-assistance features will likely include forward collision warning, automated emergency braking, and lane-keeping assist.

Warranty & Maintenance Coverage

Powertrain components related to the electric drive will also have robust coverage. While Porsche sometimes includes initial complimentary maintenance, check with your dealer for the latest US-specific offers. Build quality should be top-notch, though it's a new platform.
