2026 Porsche Macan EV Review, Pricing, and Specs
Overview
The Macan is Porsche's bestseller, so it's no surprise that this is the hallowed automaker's first gas model to make the leap to electric-only propulsion. All three of the Macan EV's powertrains provide immediate thrust without compromising the refined chassis dynamics that make Porsche's compact luxury SUV a standout among less athletic competitors. The Macan EV pairs its standout performance with impressive practicality and ample range, offering roomy cabin quarters and up to 308 miles of grin-inducing driving on a single charge. The Macan EV is sold as an alternative to its gas counterpart (reviewed separately), though it is good enough to be a worthy replacement.
What's New for 2026?
With the introduction of the rear-wheel-drive base model and the top-tier 4S trim last year, Porsche has decided to take a breather on Macan EV updates for 2026.
Pricing and Which One to Buy
The price of the 2026 Porsche Macan EV is expected to start around $78,000 and go up to $108,000 depending on the trim and options.
Base
$78,000 (est)
4
$81,000 (est)
4S
$87,000 (est)
Turbo
$108,000 (est) 0 $25k $50k $75k $100k $125k $150k $175k
While the Turbo model offers up to 630 horsepower, the 4 offers more driving range, so we'd stick with that trim and its 402-hp powertrain even though its acceleration isn't as satisfying. Porsche's business model includes offering a very long list of options, packages, paint colors, and wheel designs, which is great for creating a Macan EV that's perfectly tailored to your taste. But it can also increase the temptation to spend a lot more than the Macan EV's base price. For that reason, we'll leave the customization up to you and your budget, but we do recommend the Premium package, which adds 14-way power-adjustable front seats with heat and ventilation, heated rear seats, four-zone automatic climate control, and a Bose stereo.

EV Motor, Power, and Performance
The Macan EV's base powertrain is a single, rear-mounted electric motor that can produce up to 355 horsepower when its overboost function is activated; otherwise, it puts 335 horsepower out to the rear wheels. The 4, 4S, and Turbo models feature all-wheel drive thanks to an electric motor on each axle. While the Macan 4 EV produces a maximum of 402 horsepower, the 4S pumps out 509 hp, and the Turbo ups the ante to 630 hp. The 4 tops out at a claimed 136 mph, the 4S at 149 mph, and the Turbo at 161 mph. All models feature air suspension with adaptive dampers, and the 4S and Turbo can be had with a torque vectoring system. Essentially an electronically controlled differential on the rear axle, it helps to make the crossover feel more nimble on a curvy road. Rear-wheel steering is also optional on the Macan EV. We've had the chance to drive the Macan EV in nearly all its configurations and came away impressed with its performance. While the acceleration of the base RWD and 4 models isn't particularly quick, the extra power in the 4S and Turbo models gives them the neck-snapping thrust EVs are generally known for. Handling is quite engaging, and the Macan EV's battery pack gives it a low center of gravity, giving it a stable mid-corner feel. The steering is quick, although we don't feel the calibration is up to Porsche's typical standards, and the optional rear-wheel steering system shortens the Macan EV's turning radius at low speeds and provides additional stability at higher speeds.
0–60-MPH Times
At our test track, the Turbo model got to 60 mph in just 2.9 seconds, significantly quicker than the gas-powered Macan GTS. The 4S, 4, and base models will be progressively slower, but even the least powerful RWD Macan should get to 60 mph in 5.2 seconds by our estimates. When we get a chance to strap our test gear to the lower-powered Macan EV variants, we'll update this story with acceleration results.

Range, Charging, and Battery Life
The Macan EV utilizes a 95.0-kWh battery and supports DC fast-charging at up to 270 kW. In our testing, we got the battery from 10 percent to 90 percent charge in 33 minutes. While the Macan EV uses an 800-volt architecture to achieve such charging speeds, it also has a novel feature that essentially splits the battery into two 400-volt units when hooked up to a 400-volt charger, allowing charging speeds up to 135 kW. The Macan EV is also capable of AC charging at up to 11 kW. The EPA estimates that the Macan EV has EPA range estimates of 308 miles for the Macan 4, and 288 miles for the 4S and the Turbo. When we get the chance to test its real-world range, we'll update this section with results.
Fuel Economy and Real-World MPGe
The EPA hasn't released any fuel economy information for the 2026 Macan EV yet, but last year's Macan 4 EV delivered 107 MPGe city and 89 MPGe highway. The Macan Turbo EV was rated for 99 MPGe city and 84 MPGe Highway. The 4S model received 98 MPGe city and 83 MPGe highway ratings. We haven't yet tested the Macan EV on our real-world 75-mph highway fuel economy test, but we'll post the results here when we do. MPGe stands for miles per gallon of gas equivalent, an EPA metric that estimates PHEV and EV vehicle fuel efficiency. For more information about the Macan EV's fuel economy, visit the EPA's website.
Interior, Comfort, and Cargo
The Macan EV's cabin features integrated ambient lighting and vegan-friendly leather-free seats. Recycled materials are used throughout the interior, including floor mats crafted from regenerated nylon. Overall, the interior lacks panache and doesn't live up to the expectations of luxury set by the Macan EV's price tag. Since the Macan EV doesn't need to pack an engine under the hood, the crossover pairs its 18-cubic-foot rear cargo space with an additional storage nook in the front with a claimed 3 cubic feet of capacity. With the rear seats folded down, Porsche says the rear cargo area expands to 47 cubic feet.

Infotainment and Connectivity
The Macan EV utilizes a 12.6-inch digital instrument cluster and a 10.9-inch central touchscreen. A second 10.9-inch display that sits in front of the passenger and allows them to view video content while the car is in motion is an optional extra. The head-up display also uses augmented reality to overlay elements like navigation onto the driver's view of the outside world. The infotainment system is compatible with Apple CarPlay and features a voice assistant, activated by saying "Hey Porsche."
Safety and Driver-Assistance Features
The Macan EV comes standard with most of the driver-assistance features you'd expect and offers a more sophisticated lane-keep function as an option. For more information about the Macan EV's crash-test results, visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) websites. Key safety features are likely to include:
Standard automated emergency braking with pedestrian detection
Standard lane-departure warning with lane-keeping assist
Available adaptive cruise control
Warranty and Maintenance Coverage
Porsche provides a competitive warranty plan that's comparable to what other luxury EV marques offer. However, coverage of the Macan EV's electrical components is capped at eight years or 100,000 miles, whereas Tesla offers unlimited mileage for the same amount of time.
Limited warranty covers four years or 50,000 miles
Powertrain warranty covers eight years or 100,000 miles
No complimentary scheduled maintenance

Texas stops providing new funding for border wall construction
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Texas has stopped putting new money toward building a U.S.-Mexico border wall, shifting course after installing only a fraction of the hundreds of miles of potential barrier that Republican Gov. Greg Abbott set out to construct four years ago. State lawmakers this month approved a new Texas budget that does not include continued funding for the wall, which had been a multibillion-dollar priority for Abbott as part of a sprawling immigration crackdown. He even took the unusual step of soliciting private donations for construction, saying in 2021 that many Americans wanted to help. On Tuesday, Abbott's office said President Donald Trump's aggressive efforts to curb immigration allowed the state to adjust. The halt in funding was first reported by The Texas Tribune. 'Thanks to President Trump's bold leadership, the federal government is finally fulfilling its obligation to secure the southern border and deport criminal illegal immigrants,' Abbott spokesman Andrew Mahaleris said. 'Because of these renewed federal assets in Texas, our state can now adjust aspects of state-funded border security efforts.' The state has completed 65 miles (104 kilometers) of border wall since construction began. The Texas border with Mexico is roughly 1,200 miles (1,931 kilometers). The wall has gone up at a slow pace as the state has navigated the drawn-out process of buying private land and confronting local opposition in some places. Abbott announced plans for the wall at a time when large numbers of migrants were showing up at the border, saying in 2021 that he believed a combination of state-owned land and volunteered private property would 'yield hundreds of miles to build a border wall.' The number of migrant crossings has fallen dramatically this year. 'There was no need for it in the first place,' said Scott Nicol, a board member for Friends of the Wildlife Corridor, a habitat preservation group in the Rio Grande Valley. He has criticized the wall as ineffective. 'The only thing that's changed is the political dynamic,' he said. The new budget approved by Texas lawmakers allocates about $3.4 billion for border security for two years. That amount will not be used to build out new projects for the wall and instead go to the Texas Department of Safety and the Texas National Guard, the main agencies responsible for Operation Lone Star, Abbott's key immigration program launched in 2021 during the Biden administration. The money allocated for border security is nearly half the $6.5 billion that was dedicated to immigration efforts the last time lawmakers earmarked the state budget two years ago. Funds previously allocated for the wall will allow work on it to continue through 2026 and 'will set the federal government up for success,' said Republican Sen. Joan Huffman, the lead budget writer in the state Senate. The agency responsible for constructing the wall has about $2.5 billion remaining in funding to cover up to 85 additional miles (85 additional kilometers) of the wall by 2026, according to a statement made in April by Texas Facilities Commission executive director Mike Novak, whose agency is overseeing construction of the project. 'This wall should have never been built, it's useless,' said Bekah Hinojosa, co-founder of the South Texas Environmental Justice Network. 'It divides our community.' ___ Lathan is a corps member for the Associated Press/Report for America Statehouse News Initiative.

Rafael Devers ready to put Boston situation behind and start fresh in San Francisco
SAN FRANCISCO — Rafael Devers strolled into the clubhouse side-by-side with home run king Barry Bonds, a fellow left-handed slugger who San Francisco's new big hitter has long admired from afar. 'I think just looking at him my game has already improved a lot,' Devers joked as he was formally introduced by the Giants on Tuesday, when he was set to be designated hitter batting third in the series opener against the Cleveland Guardians. Devers is determined to leave his own lasting mark on the franchise in what is a much-needed fresh start for him and a monumental mid-season acquisition for Buster Posey and San Francisco's front office. And whatever went wrong in Boston , Devers is done discussing any issues he had with the Red Sox and eager to move forward across the country with the Giants. 'That's in the past now, I'm looking ahead and focusing on what I have here being a San Francisco Giant,' Devers said. 'I'm eager to go out there and play and see what I can do.' With a bright smile to match his bright new No. 16 jersey, Devers insisted he will play anywhere and do whatever manager Bob Melvin and his staff ask. 'I really like his answers by the way,' said Posey, in his first year as president of baseball operations. The Giants will take on a mega contract after Devers signed a new $331 million, 11-year deal in January 2023. He joins several other stars here with long-term contracts — shortstop Willy Adames has a seven-year, $182 million deal and third baseman Matt Chapman at $151 million over six years through 2030 — as Posey builds a roster he expects will compete for another World Series championship, like the ones the Giants won with him as their star catcher in 2010, '12 and '14. San Francisco last made the playoffs in 2021, when it won a franchise-record 107 games and edged the rival Dodgers for the NL West title on the final day. 'I think this organization has talent, they have won championships. I am here to play, to win and to win a championship,' Devers said through an interpreter. Posey thanked ownership for its willingness to go for it and traded for Devers to boost a club that has lacked power and struggled to score runs for extended stretches this year. The trade announced Sunday came together in the past few weeks after countless hours and conversations. 'I think the persistence really paid off,' chairman Greg Johnson said. While the Giants will gradually get Devers up to speed playing the field again since he has strictly been a DH this year, they know he has plenty of mentors eager to help. Devers was scheduled to do some fielding work at first base, the very position he didn't want to play after losing his spot at third when the Red Sox signed Alex Bregman to a $120 million, three-year contract in February to be their third baseman — the spot where Devers made 130 starts last year. 'When you have a guy like Barry Bonds around, arguably the greatest hitter of all-time, it's an added benefit for sure,' Posey said. It will only be a matter of days before Devers' first reunion with the Red Sox, who visit Oracle Park for a weekend series. He was batting .271 with 14 home runs and 57 RBIs over 72 games as Boston's primary DH. When asked what the differences will be as he begins anew, Devers noted: 'It's the same baseball. I'm here to give my 100%.' The 28-year-old Devers hadn't been thrilled with the idea of playing first base in Boston but thanked the people who cheered him, calling them 'great fans who supported me my whole time there.' After all the fanfare of his introduction and receiving his jersey in front of most of his teammates, who made time to be at his news conference before doing their pregame routines, Devers got to work. 'The Giants brought me here for a reason and I will give 100%,' he said. 'I'm now happy to be part of the team.' ___ AP MLB:
