Porsche Macan EV Lineup Expands for 2025
In an exciting development for electric vehicle enthusiasts, Porsche has announced the expansion of its Macan EV lineup for the 2025 model year. This move introduces two additional models, including a new rear-wheel-drive base variant priced at $77,295, which includes a $1,995 delivery charge, broadening the choices available to consumers.
2024 Macan EV Overview
Earlier this year, Porsche launched the redesigned 2024 Macan EV exclusively featuring the Macan 4 and Macan Turbo models. These high-performance trims marked the brand’s commitment to an all-electric future, providing powerful and efficient alternatives to the internal combustion engine lineup.
New Models for 2025: More Choices for Buyers
Rear-Wheel-Drive Base Macan
For 2025, the new rear-wheel-drive base Macan stands out as a cost-effective option without compromising performance. Priced at $77,295, it features a single motor driving the rear wheels with an impressive output of 335 horsepower. This model achieves 0-60 mph in just 5.4 seconds and boasts a top speed of 136 mph. The removal of the front motor makes this model 243 pounds lighter than the Macan 4, potentially leading to an extended driving range, though official EPA figures are still pending. Porsche estimates that the range for the Macan 4 will be around 300 miles.
Macan 4S
The second addition for 2025, the Macan 4S, is a more performance-oriented model priced at $86,895. This version comes equipped with a dual-motor all-wheel-drive system, producing a substantial 509 horsepower, allowing it to sprint from 0-60 mph in a mere 3.9 seconds and a top speed of 149 mph. The Macan 4S features a cutting-edge traction control system that adjusts torque between the front and rear axles about five times faster than traditional all-wheel-drive systems, ensuring superior stability.
Enhanced Features and Options
All Macan EVs come standard with air springs and adaptive damping for an optimized driving experience, with enhanced rear-wheel steering available as an option. Additionally, the Macan 4S benefits from Porsche’s sophisticated brake-based Torque Vectoring Plus system, which enhances handling and stability.
Off-Road Design Package
For those who seek adventure off the beaten path, the new Off-Road Design package introduced for the 2025 model year enhances the Macan’s versatility. This package includes a redesigned front end that improves the approach angle by up to 17.5 degrees, a unique set of 21-inch wheels, and increased ground clearance, reaching up to 8.8 inches. This package is available across the Macan lineup, including the base, Macan 4, and Macan 4S models.
Ordering and Availability
The 2025 Macan models are already available for order, with the first deliveries expected in the fourth quarter of this year. Porsche also announced that the gasoline-engine Macan production will continue until 2026, giving consumers a choice between traditional internal combustion engines and the new electric offerings during this transitional period.
In summary, the expanded 2025 Porsche Macan EV lineup offers more choices to suit diverse preferences and budgets, making it an appealing option for electric vehicle enthusiasts and Porsche aficionados alike.
