This is why the electric Porsche Macan is so much more expensive than its gasoline-powered counterpart

I just drove the brand new and fully electric 2025 Porsche MacanAnd The second generation Macan represents a major change between model years for Porsche’s best-selling model. Its price reflects that. Currently, there are two electric Macan models you can choose from: Macan 4 and Macan Turboand folks, they aren’t cheap, but the steep price increase is somewhat justified when you look at the numbers.

Based on the baseline, the new Macan is a lot more expensive than the old car. A Macan 4 will cost $80,450 including destination. That’s one big prices jumped The internal combustion engine-powered Macan’s $64,895 base price remains available. $15,555 is certainly a lot of money, but you also get a lot of standard equipment on the basic electric car.

If you specify a base Macan (relative to a turbocharged four-door sourced from Volkswagen) to include everything that meets the above criteria Macan 4 base, total value is $78,515 including destination. That means the car is just new Actually a few thousand dollars more expensive than the one it replaces. When you add the bonus that an electric vehicle gives you in terms of cost savings, it’s a wash.

Here are some things Macan 4 new base Macan pass burned in the facility, according to Porsche:

Air suspension system with PASM adaptive damping system

20-inch wheels ($2,960)

Leather seat center ($1,750)

Heated steering wheel ($280)

Panoramic roof system ($1,670)

Driver Memory Package ($1,130)

Lane change assist ($690)

Lane Keeping Assist/Adaptive Cruise Control ($800)

Adaptive cruise control

That’s a lot and doesn’t take into account that the Macan 4 is a lot more powerful than the base four-cylinder Macan. Internal combustion vehicle running at just 261 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. Meanwhile, the new Macan 4 makes 392 horsepower (or 402 horsepower if you’re using launch control) and 479 pound-feet of torque. It has enough power to accelerate from 0 to 60 in just 4.9 seconds. That’s a really solid number, and it’s even more impressive when you compare it to the base ICE car’s 6-second sprint speed. To get similar numbers to the electric Macan, you have to go for it Macan S is worth 76,495 USDand that would still lack a lot of the amenities that come standard on electric cars.

A quick note about the Macan Turbo: that guy starts at $106,950 (which gives you up to 630 horsepower and 833 pound-feet of torque). You get everything from the Macan 4, plus Matrix LED headlights, a 360 camera, various trim and exterior styling details, a standard Bose sound system, and 18-way sports seats. steering, larger front brakes, extended leather upholstery and a slightly different interior package. – and smaller – steering wheel. Nothing in the internal combustion Macan range really comes close to it.

So, the new Macan It’s not exactly cheapand its price may shock some, but when you look at what that extra money gets you, it all starts to come together.
