The Porsche Macan Electric is evolving rapidly. After two new powertrain options were added for the 2025 model year, the electric version of the Porsche compact SUV is getting a wide range of tech updates for 2026, just its third year on sale.

What’s New
Starting with standard equipment, the 2026 Macan Electric’s infotainment system:
- Adds artificial-intelligence-enhanced voice control to better respond to occupant commands.
- Now allows drivers to prioritize specific charging stations or provider networks for easier charging on longer trips via the Porsche Charging Planner.
- Can spice up charging (for the driver) or road trips (for passengers) via in-car gaming, with titles from Gameloft and Obscure Interactive controlled through the touchscreens, mobile devices or Bluetooth gaming controller. Passengers are able to compete against each other in the games on separate screens.
Porsche also updated the Macan Electric’s automated parking tech with a newly available add-on package. Trained Parking grants equipped vehicles the ability to learn specific maneuvers for entering up to five commonly used parking spaces, and Reversing Assist allows them to reverse up to 160 feet along routes it has previously driven forward. Additionally, the Porsche Digital Key now allows owners to use their smartphone or Apple Watch as a vehicle key.
Release Date and Pricing
Porsche is taking orders for the 2026 Macan Electric now, with deliveries scheduled to begin in spring 2026. Full line pricing, including a whopping $2,350 destination charge, is as follows:
- Macan Electric: $80,350
- Macan 4 Electric: $83,950
- Macan 4S Electric: $90,350
- Macan Turbo Electric: $111,850
Trim Levels
Aside from their electric motors, the base Macan Electric, 4 Electric and 4S Electric are nearly identical. All three ride on adaptive air suspension with 20-inch wheels and boast adaptive LED headlights, daytime running lights and taillights, a panoramic moonroof, and keyless entry and starting. Their cabins are upholstered in leather and feature heated and eight-way power-adjustable front seats, a heated steering wheel with a manually adjustable column, dual-zone automatic climate control, a digital instrument panel, wireless phone charging, 10 speakers and a touchscreen infotainment system with navigation. The 4S gets red brake calipers and larger front rotors.
The Macan Turbo Electric gains a lot more than just additional power for its $21,500 premium over the 4S. It includes an electronically controlled locking rear differential with torque vectoring, still-larger front brakes and upgraded LED headlights. Inside, it sports unique exterior and interior trim including a synthetic suede headliner, 18-way power front seats, four-zone automatic climate control, a 14-speaker Bose audio system and a power-adjustable steering column.

Standard and Available Safety Features
It’s much the same story with safety technology: The entry-level, 4 and 4S versions are fitted with the same features. Standard equipment includes forward collision warning with pedestrian and bicyclist detection, automatic emergency braking, lane departure steering assist, emergency steering assist, adaptive cruise control, front and rear parking sensors, blind spot monitors, rear cross-traffic alert and road-sign recognition.
A 360-degree camera system with automated parking is optional on the base trim and Macan Electric 4 and standard on the 4S and Turbo. The new Trained Parking and Reverse Assist features are bundled with an upgraded 3D camera system that costs extra on top of the base 360-degree camera feature. A head-up display and Drive Assist hands-on semi-autonomous driving are optional on every Macan Electric variant.
Powertrain Specs and Range
Every 2026 Macan Electric draws power from a 100-kilowatt-hour battery pack. Capable of DC fast charging at up to 270 kilowatts, it can replenish from 10% to 80% in as little as 21 minutes on a compatible charger, according to Porsche.
Only the base Macan Electric has a single electric motor; mounted on the rear axle, it generates 335 horsepower and 415 pounds-feet of torque. Launch control temporarily increases output to 355 hp and accelerates the EV to 60 mph in a claimed 5.4 seconds. Porsche says the entry-level variant has an EPA-rated range of 315 miles (official EPA figures for the 2026 model are not yet available).
The Macan 4 Electric adds a second, front-mounted motor for a total output of 382 hp (402 with launch control engaged) and 479 pounds-feet. It accelerates to 60 mph in 4.9 seconds and can travel up to 308 miles on a charge.
In the 4S, the motors combine to produce 442 hp (509 in launch control) and 604 pounds-feet of torque. Porsche says the 4S can hit 60 mph in 3.9 seconds and that it has a range of 288 miles — less with frequent 3.9-second 0-60 mph sprints.
The Macan Turbo Electric produces a 911-esque nominal 576 hp (630 with launch control). Its 833 pounds-feet fling it from 0-60 in a scant 3.1 seconds and through the quarter-mile in just 11.4 seconds. Keep a light foot on the accelerator, though, and you can achieve the same 288-mile range as the 4S.
