Step inside the Porsche Macan Electric and you’ll find a familiar and welcoming space. I especially like the twin-screen tech set-up that looks great in the way it's kind of embedded into the dash. Each screen is big, clear and easy to use.

I also really like the control panel that gives you quick-button access to the climate controls, and the haptic feedback is next level, with the whole screen clicking in or out when you hit a button.

That said, in Turbo-guise you’re dropping almost $200,000, and some of the materials feel too hard and plasticky at that price point.

The entry-level Macan is equipped with a single rear-mounted electric motor, and it will make a total 250kW (265kW with launch control activated) and 563Nm. The 4 then adds a second electric motor for AWD, upping the grunt to 285kW (300kW with the launch function) and 650Nm.

The 4S is probably the performance sweet spot, with its dual-motor set-up generating 330kW (380kW in launch) and 820Nm. But the Macan Turbo is a true monster. We’re talking 430kW (470kW with launch control) and 1130Nm.

Porsche Macan Electric range starts with the entry-level Macan, which gets a 12.6-inch digital instrument cluster, a second 10.9-inch central touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

It rides on 20-inch alloys, has synthetic leather seats that are heated up front, and Australian cars get things the clever 'Porsche Active Suspension Management' system as standard.

Next up is the Macan 4, which adds a second electric motor, but otherwise largely mirrors the base car’s spec. Next on the list is the 4S, which rides on a different 20-inch alloy, gets LED matrix headlights, rocks a better Bose stereo and gets panoramic roof and four-zone climate control.

Finally, the Turbo is the big dog of the electric Macan range, packing serious power, but also arriving with its own 20-inch alloy design — with 21-inch wheels a no-cost option — an augmented reality head-up display, and things like the 'Porsche Electric Sport Sound', the 'Sport Chrono Package' and a performance-focused 'Sport+' drive mode.

The entry-level Porsche Macan Electric will clip 100km/h in 5.7 seconds. The 4 then adds a second electric motor, dropping the sprint to a brisk 5.2 seconds. Both boast a 220km/h top speed.

The 4S is probably the performance sweet spot, with its dual-motor setup and a blistering sprint of just 4.1 seconds (240km/h top speed). But the Macan Turbo is a true monster. We’re talking a sprint to 100km/h that’s as fast as a Carrera Cup Race Car – just 3.3 seconds (260km/h top speed).

The back seat of the Porsche Macan Electric feels spacious enough, without being outstanding. There’s more than enough space for my 175cm frame, with enough knee and head room, but the way the middle console juts out will definitely eat into leg room for any middle-row passenger.

Elsewhere, you get air-con controls with vents, along with bottle storage in each of the doors. There is also a pull-down divider that deploys over the middle seat that’s home to two extra cupholders.

Every Macan is fitted with a big 100kWh lithium-ion battery, which helps deliver a solid driving range no matter which one you choose. The entry-level Macan will cover the most distance, at a claimed 654km, while the 4, 4S and Turbo will travel 624km, 619km and 616km, respectively.
