The Porsche Macan has been an increasingly popular crossover since its launch in 2014. The German sports car maker now aims to leverage the model’s success to advance in the all-electric vehicle market. According to the press release, the 2024 Porsche Macan EV is set to launch in the summer of next year.
Green Car Reports also noted that Porsche may sell the gas-powered Macan alongside its electric vehicle counterpart for at least a year before fully electrifying the Macan portfolio in the North American market. Meanwhile, the gas-powered model may still exist in other global markets for several years.
Exterior design
MotorTrend reported that no one outside of Porsche had seen the finalized exterior design of the all-electric Macan yet. Nonetheless, we can expect the model to launch with a lower standard performance and a high-performance variant.
The Macan EV will have AC charging ports on each side and a DC port on one side. It will likely use 20-inch to 22-inch wheels for the two variants, including the 22-inch lightweight forged wheel.
The publication further noted that the Macan EV will be larger than its gas-powered counterpart but will still qualify for the compact segment. It will apparently have a wheelbase of 113.8 inches compared to the Macan’s 110 inches.
Interior features
The interior of the 2025 Porsche Macan looks similar to the new Panamera and the facelifted Cayenne.
It has the following features:
- 12.6-inch digital dial display (standard)
- 10.9-inch central touchscreen (standard)
- 10.9-inch passenger touchscreen (optional)
- a rising center console with haptic control pads
- physical HVAC controls
The model also features the company’s latest infotainment system that features updated route planning with charging, voice assistant, and third-party app support.
Technical specs
The Macan EV will be the first model to ride on the Premium Platform Electric (PPE) platform co-developed by Porsche and Audi. Its twin Audi A6 e-tron has been postponed from the initially planned 2022 launch to 2024 (possibly beyond).
The PPE drivetrain can support a 270 kW charge. More impressively, it can also benefit from 400 V charging stations, such as Tesla V3 Superchargers. This technology allows the Macan EV to charge from 10% to 80% in just 22 minutes under an ideal 23 C (74 F) temperature.
It has remarkable battery specifications, with the 152Ah, 662V 100kW system generating nearly 500kW 603 horsepower and 733 lb-ft of torque for the top-tier variant. Electrek further noted that the model’s 100 kWh battery (gross) offers a WLTP-estimated range of 500 km (310 miles) between charges, indicating a substantial edge compared to the Taycan. This figure may be for the base model Macan.
It is also worth noting that the Macan EV’s Nickel Manganese Cobalt battery cells consist of 12 modules. All these modules are apparently repairable and replaceable.

Porsche aims to finally launch the highly awaited Macan EV in 2024, which it expects to “be the sportiest model in the segment.” It will follow its sibling, the Porsche Taycan, initially launched in 2019.
