Porsche 911 2025 review: S/T
By Stephen Ottley · 23 Jan 2025
Does the world need yet another Porsche 911 variant? The new 911 S/T is the brand’s celebration of the 60th anniversary of its iconic sports car and takes it to its ultimate conclusion. Built to be the purest, most driver-focused version of the now 20-strong 911 range, this limited edition is a worthy addition to the fleet.

Porsche Macan Turbo Electric 2025 review: snapshot
By Andrew Chesterton · 12 Dec 2024
The Macan Turbo is a true EV monster. We’re talking 430kW (470kW with launch control), 1130Nm and a sprint to 100km/h that’s as fast as a Carrera Cup race car – just 3.3 seconds.It’s twin-motor, all-wheel drive and offers the kind of brutal acceleration that gives you a little facelift every time you step on the accelerator.The cost is a not-insignificant $184,400, but because it’s the performance model, you get performance kit as standard, like the 'Porsche Electric Sport Sound', the 'Sport Chrono Package' and a performance-focused 'Sport+' drive mode.Every Macan is fitted with a big 100kWh lithium-ion battery, which helps deliver a 616km claimed driving range, while its 800V architecture is set up for 270kW DC high-speed charging, which will take 21min to go from 10 to 80 per cent. It will also accept 11kW AC charging, which should take 10 hours to go from empty to full.

Porsche Macan 4S Electric 2025 review: snapshot
By Andrew Chesterton · 10 Dec 2024
The 4S is probably the performance sweet spot in the Macan Electric range, with its dual-motor set-up generating 330kW (380kW with launch control activated) and 820Nm, and a blistering sprint of just 4.1 seconds. That’s not as powerful or as fast as the Macan Turbo, but it sounds like plenty to us - plus it’s substantially cheaper. You’ll be parting with $149,300, and for that you’ll get the same 12.6-inch digital instrument cluster, and a second 10.9-inch central touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as the lesser models, as well 20-inch alloys and the 'Porsche Active Suspension Management' (PASM) system as standard, but you’ll also find LED matrix headlights, a better Bose stereo, a panoramic roof and four-zone climate control.Every Macan is fitted with a big 100kWh lithium-ion battery, and rides on a 800v architecture, and in the case of the 4S, you can expect a claimed 619km driving range.But there is a downside. While the cheaper Macan’s boot opens to reveal 540 litres, that number drops to 480 litres in the 4S or Turbo.

Porsche Macan 4 Electric 2025 review: snapshot
By Andrew Chesterton · 08 Dec 2024
The Macan 4 ($134,400) is the second rung on Porsche’s new electric SUV ladder, and is also the cheapest way into a dual-motor, AWD version, with a second electric motor upping the grunt to 285kW (300kW with the launch function) and 650Nm — enough to complete the sprint to a brisk 5.2 seconds.Apart from the second motor, it largely mirrors the spec of the entry-level, and rear-wheel-drive, Macan, meaning a 12.6-inch digital instrument cluster, and a second 10.9-inch central touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Outside, there are 20-inch alloys, while inside you’ll find synthetic-leather seats that are heated up front, and Australian cars get things like the clever 'Porsche Active Suspension Management' (PASM) system as standard.Every Macan is fitted with a big 100kWh lithium-ion battery, which in the 4 means a claimed 624km driving range.When it comes time to recharge, the Macan rides on an 800V architecture, and is set up for 270kW DC high-speed charging, which will take 21min to go from 10 to 80 per cent. It will also accept 11kW AC charging, which should take 10 hours to go from empty to full.

Porsche Macan Electric 2025 review: snapshot
By Andrew Chesterton · 06 Dec 2024
The new Macan Electric range opens with the simply named Macan, which lists at $128,400, before on-road costs. A reminder here that the old entry-level Macan with an ICE powertrain would have set you back less than six figures, so this one represents quite the jump.That money gets you 12.6-inch digital instrument cluster, and 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 like the clever 'Porsche Active Suspension Management' (PASM) system as standard.The entry-level Macan is the only model equipped with a single rear-mounted electric motor, and it will make a total 250kW (265kW with launch control activated) and 563Nm, which is enough to push the cheapest Macan to 100km/h in 5.7 seconds.Every Macan is fitted with a big 100kWh lithium-ion battery, which helps deliver a solid driving range. In the case of the entry-level Macan, that’s a claimed 654km.

Porsche Macan 2025 review - Australian first drive
By Andrew Chesterton · 04 Dec 2024
The Porsche Macan is the German brand's best-selling model in Australia. Or it was, at least. Before the bold decision to ditch the internal-combustion powertrains and shift the entire range to an EV-only offering. Was that a mistake? Or a masterstroke? We put the new Macan Electric to the test to find out.

Porsche Panamera 2025 review
By Emily Agar · 25 Aug 2024
Australia hasn't had what you'd call a love affair with the Porsche Panamera. Not compared to the on-going romance with its iconic sibling, the 911 and even its SUV stablemates. So, will the redesign of this sedan launch an arrow from Cupid's bow for Australian families?
