Porsche Macan Electric T 5dr PDK Review
Category: Electric car
Section: Version review
In Turbo guise the Porsche Macan Electric is the best-handling electric SUV we’ve ever tested - but it’s not the only model in the range that’s great to drive. Indeed, the entry-level version has a simple and appealing rear-wheel-drive fun factor that makes it our recommended version for most buyers. Plus, it has one of the longest official ranges you can get.
The trim
See full equipmentWe reckon the Macan T is the pick of the line-up. Like the S it comes with 20in alloys, but adds the desirable Sports Chrono Package, a smaller-diameter heated steering wheel, more figure-hugging front seats and a bespoke suspension setup for sharper handling.
The engine
See full engine specsThe entry-level Macan and the Macan T are powered by a 2.0-litre petrol engine with 261bhp. The T can officially do 0-60mph slightly quicker (5.8sec vs 6.0sec), but that's purely because it has a launch control function (part of the Sports Chrono Pack) fitted as standard. On the move, both build speed at the same rate and are quick enough for most buyers.
