The Porsche Macan Electric is evolving rapidly. After two new powertrain options were added for the 2025 model year, the electric version of the Porsche compact SUV is getting a wide range of tech updates for 2026, just its third year on sale.

What’s New

Starting with standard equipment, the 2026 Macan Electric’s infotainment system:

Adds artificial-intelligence-enhanced voice control to better respond to occupant commands.
Now allows drivers to prioritize specific charging stations or provider networks for easier charging on longer trips via the Porsche Charging Planner.
Can spice up charging (for the driver) or road trips (for passengers) via in-car gaming, with titles from Gameloft and Obscure Interactive controlled through the touchscreens, mobile devices or Bluetooth gaming controller. Passengers are able to compete against each other in the games on separate screens.

Porsche also updated the Macan Electric’s automated parking tech with a newly available add-on package. Trained Parking grants equipped vehicles the ability to learn specific maneuvers for entering up to five commonly used parking spaces, and Reversing Assist allows them to reverse up to 160 feet along routes it has previously driven forward. Additionally, the Porsche Digital Key now allows owners to use their smartphone or Apple Watch as a vehicle key.

Release Date and Pricing

Porsche is taking orders for the 2026 Macan Electric now, with deliveries scheduled to begin in spring 2026. Full line pricing, including a whopping $2,350 destination charge, is as follows:

Macan Electric: $80,350
Macan 4 Electric: $83,950
Macan 4S Electric: $90,350
Macan Turbo Electric: $111,850

Trim Levels

Aside from their electric motors, the base Macan Electric, 4 Electric and 4S Electric are nearly identical. All three ride on adaptive air suspension with 20-inch wheels and boast adaptive LED headlights, daytime running lights and taillights, a panoramic moonroof, and keyless entry and starting. Their cabins are upholstered in leather and feature heated and eight-way power-adjustable front seats, a heated steering wheel with a manually adjustable column, dual-zone automatic climate control, a digital instrument panel, wireless phone charging, 10 speakers and a touchscreen infotainment system with navigation. The 4S gets red brake calipers and larger front rotors.

The Macan Turbo Electric gains a lot more than just additional power for its $21,500 premium over the 4S. It includes an electronically controlled locking rear differential with torque vectoring, still-larger front brakes and upgraded LED headlights. Inside, it sports unique exterior and interior trim including a synthetic suede headliner, 18-way power front seats, four-zone automatic climate control, a 14-speaker Bose audio system and a power-adjustable steering column.

Standard and Available Safety Features

It’s much the same story with safety technology: The entry-level, 4 and 4S versions are fitted with the same features. Standard equipment includes forward collision warning with pedestrian and bicyclist detection, automatic emergency braking, lane departure steering assist, emergency steering assist, adaptive cruise control, front and rear parking sensors, blind spot monitors, rear cross-traffic alert and road-sign recognition.

A 360-degree camera system with automated parking is optional on the base trim and Macan Electric 4 and standard on the 4S and Turbo. The new Trained Parking and Reverse Assist features are bundled with an upgraded 3D camera system that costs extra on top of the base 360-degree camera feature. A head-up display and Drive Assist hands-on semi-autonomous driving are optional on every Macan Electric variant.

Powertrain Specs and Range

Every 2026 Macan Electric draws power from a 100-kilowatt-hour battery pack. Capable of DC fast charging at up to 270 kilowatts, it can replenish from 10% to 80% in as little as 21 minutes on a compatible charger, according to Porsche.

Only the base Macan Electric has a single electric motor; mounted on the rear axle, it generates 335 horsepower and 415 pounds-feet of torque. Launch control temporarily increases output to 355 hp and accelerates the EV to 60 mph in a claimed 5.4 seconds. Porsche says the entry-level variant has an EPA-rated range of 315 miles (official EPA figures for the 2026 model are not yet available).

The Macan 4 Electric adds a second, front-mounted motor for a total output of 382 hp (402 with launch control engaged) and 479 pounds-feet. It accelerates to 60 mph in 4.9 seconds and can travel up to 308 miles on a charge.

In the 4S, the motors combine to produce 442 hp (509 in launch control) and 604 pounds-feet of torque. Porsche says the 4S can hit 60 mph in 3.9 seconds and that it has a range of 288 miles — less with frequent 3.9-second 0-60 mph sprints.

The Macan Turbo Electric produces a 911-esque nominal 576 hp (630 with launch control). Its 833 pounds-feet fling it from 0-60 in a scant 3.1 seconds and through the quarter-mile in just 11.4 seconds. Keep a light foot on the accelerator, though, and you can achieve the same 288-mile range as the 4S.

What’s the Best New-Car Deal for Labor Day 2025?

Do you feel it there, on the breeze? The cicadas getting a little quieter in the evenings, the midday sun feeling slightly more than 7 inches away, children vanishing to schools and the sanity of clear, cool-headed rationale prevailing? Then you already know what’s coming: Labor Day. With summer car-shopping season a flurry of activity amid the ever-shifting tariff landscape, many in the market for a new car found one, but this weekend represents the traditional end of that push before the relative quietude of autumn — and if you’re still in the market, that means deals.

Related: More Incentives News

Though the latest report from J.D. Power revealed a projected 8.2% year-over-year increase in new-car sales, dealers are keeping up and incentives have stayed relatively stable during the same period. Days on lots increased from 48 to 51 days in August, and while incentive spending was up $38 over 2024, that’s a 0.1-percentage-point decrease. Still, offers are out there.

Take a look around and you’ll find there are a lot of leasing deals right now (including with electric vehicles), but the three selections you’ll find below are the best of the cash-back offers, meaning you walk out with money in your pocket straight off MSRP. Which are they? Read on to find out.

2025 Jeep Wrangler

2025 Jeep Wrangler | Manufacturer image

Factory discount: $0-$4,500
Approximate price after savings: $36,000-$107,000
Approximate factory savings: 0%-8%
Offer ends: Sept. 2

Following a big update for 2024 to combat the popularity of the rival Ford Bronco, Jeep made only minor alterations for the 2025 model year. Further incentivizing potential owners are the discounts you can find on all but the Rubicon 392: Jeep is offering $2,000 off most two-door variants and $2,500 off most four-door models in the regions we surveyed. It should be noted that the best deal by percentage, however, is the middle-tier, four-door-only Sahara, for which the brand is currently offering $4,000 off. In lieu of that, qualified shoppers can get financing of 6.9% for up to 72 months. All such offers end Sept. 2.

Despite being named our Best Car of 2025, Hyundai’s Santa Fe three-row mid-size SUV remains something of a steal given the discounts currently on offer for those in search of a fresh family hauler. The lower SE and SEL trims could be found for $2,500 off in most regions we surveyed, while the XRT, Limited and Calligraphy offered cash back of $3,500. Alternatively, consumers can find financing of 0% for up to 60 months. Whichever trim or path you take, these particular deals end Sept. 2.

Editor’s Choice: 2025 Ram 1500

Another award winner and perennial favorite of the Cars.com Editorial staff is Ram’s 1500 half-ton pickup truck, which took home Best Pickup Truck of 2025 honors. From the plush interiors to the performance of the new Hurricane 3.0-liter straight-six-cylinder engine, there are lots of reasons to like the Ram 1500 — but the most important one for the purposes of this story is how Ram is offering 10% off its trim line up through the Rebel in most regions we surveyed and as much as $5,250 off the higher-end Limited and Limited Longhorn. We even saw the RHO and Tungsten with $1,000 off, a rarity for the performance and loaded luxury trims. Ram does frequently vary its approach to incentives by region, though, so check with your local dealer to see what’s available. What we didn’t find much variation in was the financing offer of 1.9% for up to 72 months for qualified shoppers. Regardless, such deals expire Sept. 2.

How We Look for Deals

To help car shoppers find the best deals for Labor Day 2025, we lead with cash offers available to shoppers at large, not those that require financing with the automaker or having certain qualifications (e.g., military or college-graduate discounts, loyalty or conquest bonuses, etc.). In calculating the overall percentage discount and pricing after incentives, we focus on the vehicle’s price range from the cheapest incentives-eligible trim level with no factory options to the priciest eligible trim with all factory options. We include the destination charge in such pricing, but we exclude a few other items: taxes and fees, which vary considerably by region, and dealer accessories, which vary considerably by automaker.

Because these are factory discounts, they should be available to all participating dealers. As such, use them as the starting point for negotiations, not a reason to skip haggling altogether.

Incentives data come from automakers’ websites. Remember, our numbers are current as of publication for the markets we survey (generally Atlanta, Chicago, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles and New York). They reflect advertised customer discounts, not unadvertised factory-to-dealer cash. Discount financing typically requires qualifying credit, too, and incentives may vary by region and trim level; automakers may also change them later in the window of relevance. In sum: Your discounts may vary, so check with your local dealer for specifics.
