Porsche sells a lot of these cars in Australia, so switching from a regular gas engine to an all-electric system is quite a big and risky change.

As more Australians choose electric vehicles each year, Porsche hopes they will be eager to try the brand-new 2025 Porsche Macan Electric. It's built on a new electric platform that it shares with Audi, making it Porsche’s second electric model after the Taycan.

We had the opportunity to drive the Macan 4 and Macan Turbo. These are currently the only models available, but Porsche plans to introduce a more affordable model and possibly a GTS version in the near future.
