Electric Macan Turbo pairs family practicality with sports-car performance

The 2027 electric Porsche Macan Turbo combines the everyday practicality of a crossover with the speed and handling of a sports car, challenging assumptions about what a Porsche should look and feel like. Its understated appearance drew little attention, but its performance made a strong impression during family and city driving.

The car has 630 horsepower and a 100-kilowatt-hour battery, with a starting price of $112,700; the tested model cost $149,610 after options and delivery. The reviewer praised its acceleration, sporty driving position and handling, including four-wheel steering, while questioning the value of some costly extras. The Turbo name also prompted debate because the electric car has no turbocharger.
