Porsche expands its all-electric Macan lineup for 2026 with the introduction of the Macan EV GTS, a performance-oriented variant that slots between the 4S and Turbo models. Combining sporty dynamics, advanced technology, and distinctive design elements, the GTS offers an electrified driving experience infused with Porsche’s legendary performance DNA.
Potent Dual-Motor Powertrain
The Macan EV GTS features a potent dual electric motor setup, sharing the rear motor with the Macan Turbo. This motor boasts a 230mm rotor diameter and utilizes silicon-carbide (SiC) transistors for high efficiency at an impressive 900 Amp pulse inverter. The system delivers a continuous output of 380 kW (509 HP), with an Overboost function increasing power to 420 kW (563 HP) for explosive acceleration via launch control. Peak torque is an immense 954 NM (704 LB-FT), driving the compact luxury SUV from 0 to 60 MPH in approximately 3.6 seconds with a top speed of 155 MPH.
The Macan EV GTS carries the same 95.0 kWh battery as other Macan EVs, capable of fast charging at up to 270 kW, replenishing from 10-80% charge in an estimated 21 minutes under ideal conditions. Though the EPA range is pending, it is expected to be close to or above the 2025 Macan 4S’s 463 KM (288 miles) range.
Race-Tuned Handling & Suspension
The GTS variant boasts an air suspension with Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), featuring bespoke calibration for the GTS that lowers ride height by 10 mm compared to other models, enhancing cornering prowess. Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus) comes standard, providing an electronically controlled limited-slip differential on the rear axle for agile handling and torque distribution.
Optional rear-wheel steering adds low-speed maneuverability and high-speed stability. The GTS also includes the Sport Chrono Package with Track Endurance Mode, which actively cools the battery to prevent power reduction, enabling prolonged spirited driving without thermal derating.
Distinctive Design & Interior
Visually, the Macan GTS stands out with exclusive black trim accents across the front, sides, and rear, accentuated by wider rocker panels and a unique rear diffuser. Tinted LED Matrix Design headlights and taillights enhance its assertive appearance. The model comes standard with 21-inch Macan Design wheels in Anthracite Gray, with optional 22-inch RS Spyder Design wheels available. Three new GTS-specific colors debut: Chalk, Carmine Red, and Lugano Blue, with additional personalization options through Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur.
Inside, the GTS interior features Race-Tex fabric with black leather on seat bolsters and headrests, alongside a new GTS Interior Package allowing a color-themed connection between exterior paint and cabin accents like stitching, seat belts, and logos. Carbon-fiber trim elements tie the sporty atmosphere together, reflected digitally on the instrument cluster and infotainment screens.
Pricing & Availability
The 2026 Porsche Macan EV GTS is available for order now, with U.S. pricing starting at $105,350 (approximately 386,000 AED). The first deliveries are expected by spring 2026, offering enthusiasts a compelling combination of everyday usability, electrified performance, and Porsche’s renowned sporty feel.
Conclusion
The new Porsche Macan EV GTS hits a sweet spot in luxury electric performance SUVs, delivering exhilarating power, precision handling, and sophisticated design accents at a competitive price point. For buyers in the Middle East and other regions with growing EV infrastructure and performance enthusiast communities, this model embodies Porsche’s evolving vision of electric mobility without compromising driving excitement or premium presence.
