2025 Porsche Macan EV vs. 2025 Porsche Cayenne: Which SUV Delivers More Value?
Electric vs. Gasoline Powertrains
One of the most significant difference between the 2025 Macan EV and the 2025 Cayenne are their powertrains. As its name suggests, the Macan EV is solely powered by electricity, featuring a 100-kWh battery and a single electric motor to power the rear wheels with 335 horsepower and up to 355 hp with the Launch Control feature activated. This base configuration offers an estimated 315-mile driving range, a 137-mph top track speed, and a 60-mph acceleration time of 5.4 seconds.
The Cayenne’s base model features a 348-hp V6 engine that makes 368 pound-feet of torque. Its top track speed is 154 mph with summer tires, and it can clear a quarter mile in 14.3 seconds. You can accelerate from zero to 60 mph in 5.7 seconds, which goes down to 5.4 seconds with the optional Sport Chrono Package. All-wheel drive is standard, and plug-in powertrain options are available if you’re looking for a balance of gasoline and electricity.
Wading Depth and Ground Clearance
Are you planning to adventure into uncertain territory with your new Porsche? The Macan EV comes with a standard air suspension system, while the Cayenne comes with a steel suspension that can be upgraded to an optional air suspension. With the standard setup, the Cayenne features a maximum wading depth of 19.7 inches, which increases to 20.9 inches with the air suspension at high level.
The Macan EV’s max wading depth is 13.4 inches, and the maximum ground clearance is 8.9 inches, which is higher than the Cayenne’s 8.3-inch clearance with the standard suspension.
Cargo Capacity
The Cayenne’s dedicated cargo space lets you load up to 27.3 cubic feet of volume, while the Macan EV has room for 19 cubes, and features an extra 3.0 cubic feet of space in the front luggage compartment. Folding the rear seats down expands the rear capacities to 60.3 and 47.6 cubic feet, respectively.
You can’t go wrong with a Porsche SUV, and when it comes to the 2025 Macan EV vs 2025 Cayenne, the value depends on your priorities. The Macan EV offers the best fuel savings, but if you don’t want to deal with regular battery charging and need more cargo space, the Cayenne might be a better fit.
