Porsche Macan EV will make its India premier on January 17, 2025, during the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025.

In India, the Macan is offered in both standard RWD and 4S variations. The Macan Turbo 4S is capable of clocking a 0-100 kmph sprint in a time of 3.3 seconds (claimed). The more expensive 4S also packs Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) electronic damping control as standard. There's an adaptive air suspension with a levelling system and height adjustment. Features such as Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus) and the rear-axle steering allow the chassis to be further optimised for performance and comfort.
