The Porsche Macan Electric is outselling the gasoline model this year, partly because the ICE version is no longer sold in the European Union. There won’t be any internal competition for long, as the gas-powered Macan will be retired globally in 2026. A new combustion-engine crossover with a different name is in development but won’t debut until 2028. In the meantime, Zuffenhausen is expanding the electric lineup with a fifth variant.
The all-wheel-drive Macan GTS slots between the 4S and Turbo, borrowing the latter’s electric motor. Porsche quotes a combined output of 509 horsepower, rising to 563 hp with launch control engaged. With 704 lb-ft of virtually instant torque, the newcomer is predictably quick, hitting 60 mph in 3.6 seconds. The Turbo still holds the crown, sprinting half a second faster.
From the start, the GTS comes with the Sport Chrono Package, Torque Vectoring Plus, and an air suspension tuned specifically for this version. It has the lowest center of gravity of any Macan Electric and can optionally be fitted with rear-wheel steering. Porsche also fine-tuned the dampers and roll bars to deliver a more engaging driving experience.
In keeping with other GTS models, it features black exterior accents and tinted headlights and taillights. Porsche sweetens the deal with a standard Sport Design Package featuring revised front and rear fascias. The GTS gets it first but will roll out to other Macan Electric variants starting in summer 2026.

Beefier rocker panels help set the GTS apart, while Lugano Blue joins the color palette alongside Carmine Red and Chalk. Buyers can choose from 15 standard colors or roughly 60 more through Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur. Standard 21-inch wheels can be upgraded to this 22-inch set finished in Anthracite Gray.
True to Porsche’s tradition of tempting buyers with options, a new GTS Interior Package featuring contrast stitching that matches the exterior paint when finished in Carmine Red, Slate Gray Neo, or Lugano Blue. A GTS logo is added to the steering wheel and instrument cluster. The package is available only in combination with the carbon fiber interior trim.
Porsche is already taking U.S. orders for the electric Macan GTS, priced from $103,000, or just $6,500 less than the 630-hp Turbo. For reference, the six-cylinder Macan GTS introduced a decade ago (and subsequently updated) undercuts it by $10,000. Deliveries begin next spring.
