2026 Porsche Macan GTS EV Piles on the Sugar

I almost stopped taking one bite

Don't get me wrong when you see this title-Porsche is not in the dessert business, but after driving this Macan GTS EV, I feel like I just swallowed a whole piece of black forest cake, so sweet that it's tired but I want to have another bite. It is not an ordinary electric SUV. The three letters GTS have always been Porsche's "spicy" label, but this time they replaced the peppers with frosting. Performance, sound? There are also those options that make your wallet tremble, all piled up.

It's not an electric car, it's a fat man with a plug-in on the track

The moment I stepped on the switch, I almost laughed. The car weighs more than 2.3 tons, but pushing its back feels like being pulled by a runaway wild horse, and the horse is also on stimulants. The twin-motor four-wheel drive has a comprehensive power of more than 500 horsepower (please check the parameter table for the specific value), but what I care more about is its false "engine sound"-the simulated sound wave unique to Porsche electric vehicles, which is transmitted from the stereo. The low V8 whimper, combined with the screeching of current during actual acceleration, actually made me, a fuel party, feel trance. Oh, by the way, it also comes with air suspension and rear wheel steering as standard, and it looks like a dancing hippo when turning corners. It is ridiculously flexible.

Appearance? Still like,"I'm expensive, don't touch me"

From a distance, this generation of Macan EV is lower and wider than the fuel version. The GTS version has added black highlights to the front bumper, side skirts and rear diffuser, like a boxer wearing a tuxedo. The LED headlight group is so slender that it is almost a seam. With the slightly widened air intake grille (although it is closed, Porsche stubbornly retains some "mouths"), the entire front face is fierce and charming. The electric tail fin on the tail will rise at high speed, giving a full sense of ritual-although you won't use that little downforce at all, who cares? It's cool.

Get in the car: Wow, then what?

The moment you open the door, you will be dazzled by the huge curved triple screen-the dashboard, the central control screen, and the exclusive entertainment screen for the co-driver (optional, cost extra). In terms of materials, the GT sports steering wheel, Alcantara roof, and embossed seats with the GTS logo are still Porsch-level workmanship, but don't expect any revolutionary new designs. To be honest, the response of the central control touch screen is so fast that it is touching that it is much better than some German opponents. However, you still have to poke the screen to adjust the air conditioner. Want to exercise blindly while driving? Dream. The rear row space... not crowded, but not spacious, typical Porsche "enough on the line."

Endurance? Guess what--it's a surprise.

I didn't expect Porsche to last, after all, the previous Taycan could only run more than 200 kilometers in winter. But this Macan GTS EV uses an 800V architecture and a 100kWh battery, and its official WLTP battery life exceeds 500 kilometers. The actual measurement (intense driving and full air conditioning) is about 380 kilometers, which is already a pass for a performance SUV. The key is charging speed. On a 350kW fast-charging pile, it only takes 21 minutes to charge from 10% to 80%, and it will be resurrected with full blood by the time you buy a cup of coffee. Of course, the prerequisite is that you can find suitable overfilled piles-with the domestic coverage rate, I can only say "Come on".

Last word of truth: Is it worth it?

The Macan GTS EV is like a tiramisu filled with frosting-you know you won't be able to finish it, but every bite makes you go to your senses. It has the smoothness and instantaneous torque of an electric car, the controlling soul in Porsche's bones, and a bit of the ritual of a fuel car. But the problem is that its starting price is almost as high as that of the entry-level Cayenne (starting at more than 900,000 yuan in China), plus the optional options... I calculated that if I want to choose a satisfactory configuration, it will cost me two years of salary. But so what? When you hold the steering wheel and listen to the simulated V8 roar through the tunnel, you can only say one thing: It smells so good.
