1. All-Weather Traction
Every gas-powered Porsche Macan SUV comes with standard Porsche Traction Management (PTM) all-wheel drive capability to help you tackle rainy weather across the foothills near Kent. In comparison, new Porsche Macan Electric models feature standard rear-wheel drive or available all-wheel drive. Plus, the Porsche Macan has a shorter wheelbase length and lower curb weight, which improves cornering response for a dynamic experience.
2. Ergonomic Design
While new Porsche Macan Electric models offer a tech-filled cabin with a sleek 12.6-inch digital instrument cluster, 10.9-inch central touchscreen, and 10.9-inch passenger display, most of the buttons that drivers interact with are touch-sensitive. In comparison, gas-powered Porsche Macan models offer the tactile feedback of hard buttons that can make it easier to adjust climate or comfort settings while tackling I-5 traffic near Olympia.
3. Cargo Space
Whether you're running errands around Tacoma or packing for a weekend trip, new Porsche Macan SUVs provide up to 53.1 cubic feet of maximum cargo capacity with 17.2 cubic feet of space behind the rear seats. While the Porsche Macan Electric offers a front cargo compartment with 3.0 cubic feet of extra space, drivers only receive up to 47.6 cubic feet of maximum cargo capacity with 19.1 cubic feet of space behind the rear seats.
4. Driving Range
Even though electric vehicles are known for their lower operating costs, drivers who enjoy taking road trips far beyond Seattle will have to plan stops to charge along the way. New Porsche Macan SUVs deliver an EPA-estimated 416 miles of total range, while Porsche Macan Electric SUVs only achieve an EPA-estimated 315 miles of total range. In addition, the Porsche Macan S provides an EPA-estimated 376 miles of range, while the Porsche Macan 4S Electric only offers an EPA-estimated 288 miles of range.
5. Off-Road Capability
If you enjoy exploring the outdoors, gas-powered Porsche Macan models offer a maximum ground clearance of up to 8.0 inches with standard steel suspension, compared to Porsche Macan Electric models with a maximum ground clearance of 7.3 inches. In addition, the Porsche Macan provides improved approach, breakover, and departure angles to help you navigate around obstacles with ease.
