The all-electric 2025 Porsche Macan will be available in at least three trims; base Macan, Macan S, and Macan Turbo. Yes, everyone is aware that electric vehicles contain no actual turbo (we've already been over this with the Taycan). The base model will be available in either rear or All-wheel drive and will be called Macan and Macan 4, respectively. The S and Turbo models will be All-wheel drive-only. There are three motors used for the new Macan. All three of the All-wheel drive trims use the same front motor, the Macan and Macan S use the same rear motor, and the Turbo uses a larger, more powerful rear motor. The base model has 13.8-inch brake rotors up front, the S gets 14.8-inch fronts, and the Turbo 15.7-inchers. All models use 13.8-inch rears, as rear brakes don't do much when it comes to braking (especially on an electric vehicle with regenerative braking).

All U.S.-specs Macans will have air suspension, and not because Porsche didn't want to offer customers a choice of less expensive steel springs, but rather the ability to raise the vehicle up in Off Road mode was key to fitting the legal definition of SUV. Rear-wheel steering is optional. Gone is the Taycan's two-speed transmission on the rear motor. Long story short, with the new motors, there's so much torque available at any given speed that one gear works just fine.

The rear motor is located behind the rear axle, and there are a few reasons why. One being a silly nod to this car's rear-engine forbears. Silly, because how have the existing Macan, Cayenne, and Panamera survived? The placement does give the Macan EV a 48/52 front to rear weight balance, and we suspect the RWD Macan will be even more aft biased as a result. Additionally, locating the motor behind the axle frees up room for the four-wheel steering system and it also slides the rear seat back an inch or two.
