Verdict
At RM700,000, the Porsche Macan Electric 4S is the sensible fast Macan: 512 hp, 820 Nm and a 4.1-second 0-100 km/h time are hardly wanting, while its 606 km range is 20 km better. The RM75,000 step to the RM775,000 Porsche Macan Electric GTS buys 563 hp, 955 Nm and a 3.8-second sprint, but not extra listed comfort, safety or charging hardware. Its RM1,140 annual road tax is also RM225 higher. For Malaysian use, the 4S is the sharper value call unless the extra pace is the point.
Pick the Porsche Macan Electric 4S if you want near-GTS acceleration, 606 km of range and RM75,000 left in hand.
Pick the Porsche Macan Electric GTS if its 563 hp, 955 Nm and 3.8-second 0-100 km/h run matter more than range and running costs.
