Description

A year ago, we bought this Porsche Macan 4 EV, the brand’s first electric SUV, to find out what it’s like to live with on a daily basis. Well, one year later, we have thoughts — lots of them. From the good to the bad to the expensive, Edmunds’ Ryan Greger and our content team tell you all our thoughts on the Macan EV after a year of ownership.

But it appears to be a bargain at 13k and $52k

Being an owner in Europe myself, I woulsd say that your review is spot on. When you buy a Macan, you have to be aware that value is not good. But then, I bought this Macan because I had to buy an electric car for tax reasons in my company and this car was the only electric suv that I think looks handsome and drives very well. I am also prepared to pay a premium for the fact that can configure the car entirely to my liking. The only two disappointments I have are: average quality of materials and software glitches.

Nothing in the used market for anywhere near 52k, especially with clean title no accidents. Just an FYI for anyone thinking they can actually get one of these for that price right now. Might need to give it another year.

I own a Macan EV Turbo and i guess i am only person in this segment who is satisfied with this SUV’s driving experience. There are no significant issues. I previously owned a BMW, Maserati, Jaguar and Taycan and would say this Macan is the best car I have ever driven so far

The depreciation calculation is way off. Comparing retail (likely with taxes, etc. included) vs wholesale. There isn't anywhere in the country where you can get a year old Macan Electric for anything close to $52K.

Would you spend nearly six figures on a Macan EV? Which missing feature would bug you the most? Let us know!

Trade in value is always outrageous. Private party value is the true worth

The Porsche dealership gave me an electric Macan as a loaner when I brought in my 2018 McCann GTS for a service. Lovely car but so heavy. When I got back into my ICE Macan GTS at the end of the day. It felt so light. It was like driving a 911. At some point when the technology advances and batteries are light or at least a lot lighter I’ll be ready to go Electric. But not sooner.
