Which variant to buy

Most buyers should choose the Macan 4 at RM595,000. The RM20,000 step up from the RWD brings all-wheel drive and 405 hp rather than 355 hp, though claimed range drops from 641 km to 613 km. Choose the RWD only if maximum claimed range and the lowest entry price matter most. The 4S costs RM700,000 for 512 hp; the GTS adds 563 hp at RM775,000, while the Turbo reaches 636 hp at RM845,000. Pay more only if the extra output is the priority.

Verdict

The Macan Electric brings a broad five-variant spread, from a 641 km RWD model to a 636 hp Turbo. The Macan 4 looks like the sensible centre of the range, adding all-wheel drive for a modest step over the RWD. It is not a cheap route into an electric SUV: it starts above the Lotus Eletre and Audi Q8 e-tron Sportback, although below the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV. Buyers paying for the upper variants are chiefly paying for more power.
