Porsche Macan GTS electric SUV unveiled

It’s been over six decades since Porsche first used the GTS name, and now it’s being applied to its all-electric SUV with the Porsche Macan GTS. Bringing more power, more focused dynamics and styling tweaks to the model, it falls right between the middling 4S and Turbo versions to complete the electric Macan lineup.

Porsche Macan GTS powertrain and performance

Being a GTS model, it’s expanded on the dual-motor, all-wheel drive powertrain of the 4S with an additional 53bhp at 563bhp (on overboost) – that’s 67bhp less than the range-topping Turbo, with its peak at 630bhp. Stack that up against global rivals like the Tesla Model Y Performance and the Porsche comes out on top, but a 0-100kmph time three tenths slower than the Tesla at 3.8sec isn’t quite as impressive. The GTS is three tenths quicker than a Macan 4S, though, with its 250kmph top speed 10kmph behind the 260kmph of the Turbo. To coincide with the increase in power, the GTS also comes with two bespoke interior sound ‘profiles’ delivered by the Porsche Electric Sport Sound system, which change depending on the drive mode.

Given the GTS has the most powerful rear axle of the lineup (shared with the Turbo), it’s a good thing it comes with a standard electronically controlled rear differential. Also managing its impressive 955Nm torque figure are Porsche’s standard ‘Torque Vectoring Plus’ and ‘Traction Management’ systems, allowing the driver to make the most of this power. Track mode also comes as part of the standard-fit Sport Chrono Package, said to improve cooling and longevity for longer high performance stints.

Porsche Macan GTS battery, charging and range

Battery size stands at 100kWh, delivering a WLTP combined range of 586km to put it in line with the 579km figure of the Tesla Model Y Performance – peak charging speed stands at 270kW. Look to the rest of the range and you’ll find this puts the GTS just 17km behind the 4S and, oddly, 3km behind the more powerful Turbo.

Chassis tweaks come in the form of GTS-specific tuning for the dampers and anti-roll bars, with the ride height of the standard air suspension dropped by 10mm to give it the lowest centre of gravity in the range. A near-perfect 48:52 weight distribution will also contribute to improved dynamics, and if you’d like to improve things further, optional rear-wheel steering will do just that.

Porsche Macan GTS styling and interior

Design tweaks are subtle as with most GTS models, with black trim, tinted front and rear lights and modified bumpers coming as part of the Sport Design Package – the side skirts have been reprofiled for a more aggressive look too, as has the rear ‘diffuser section’. Wheels are 21-inch Macan Design items as standard, but 22-inch RS Spyder Design wheels are on the configurator at a cost. The trademark GTS Carmine Red is on the menu as you’d expect, as is Lugano Blue for the first time on a Macan – there are also endless colour options to choose from beyond these.

Inside, the Macan GTS gets plenty of soft-touch Race-Tex upholstery on the GT Sports steering wheel, centre console, door cards, seat centres and dashboard. Black leather can be found everywhere the Race-Tex isn’t, and to lift the look further, the GTS Interior Package brings carbon fibre trim and contrast stitching to match the exterior paint.

The 2026 Porsche Macan GTS Electric sits between the 4S Electric and the range-topping Turbo in the Porsche Macan Electric line-up and while it has not been confirmed whether the electric SUV will be launched in India, it is likely that the GTS could be offered in our market with prices estimated to be around the ₹1.5 crore mark.
