Porsche Macan 4 Electric first drive review: Second model from German carmaker to go fully electric

PHOTO: sgCarMart The word "proper" has to be used here because there are ample electric vehicles that are insanely fast yet sustainable, but they aren't necessarily the kind of cars that possess the proper dynamics that make them proper sports cars.

Bluntly put, the Macan isn't just another eco-conscious machine masquerading as a sports car. No, this is a bona fide performance machine, with the added bonus of guilt-free motoring.At the heart of the Macan lies an electric powertrain that not only delivers blistering acceleration, but does so with the finesse and precision synonymous with the Porsche badge.

The Porsche Macan manages to retain the essence of what makes driving truly enjoyable. The talkative and well-weighted steering wheel as well as taut body control certainly remind you that it is possible a full-electric SUV like the Macan can be labelled as 'fun' and 'remarkable'.Of course, such a remarkability extends to the car's ability to execute any need for range anxiety. The 100kWh lithium-ion battery gives the car some 613km of range when it's fully charged.

Elsewhere, the cabin is a lovely and sporty place to be. It's all properly put together, with an extensive use of plush leather to remind you this is a S$254,888 car you're driving, although I do find it strange that the USB-C ports are located at a rather difficult-to-reach-and-see position below the centre console.
