Porsche Macan Turbo EV spotted testing in the US flaunting sleek curves

After unveiling the highly-anticipated Macan EV last month, Porsche said a 630 hp Turbo version is also rolling out. The sporty new 2024 Porsche Macan Turbo EV was spotted testing in California, showcasing the electric SUV’s sleek curves.

After years of waiting, Porsche finally unveiled the all-electric Macan last month. “We are taking the Macan to a completely new level,” Porsche CEO Oliver Blume said at the launch.

The Macan EV is the second fully electric vehicle in Porsche’s lineup, following the Taycan. Porsche transformed the classic Macan design for the electric era with fast charging, long-range capabilities, and everyday practicality.

Porsche has already vowed to make the Macan EV the “sportiest in its segment,” So far, it looks like it delivered.

The headlights are divided into two parts. The upper four-point daytime running lights are embedded into the vehicle’s wings, while the main headlight (with optional matrix LED) is right under.

Porsche included frameless doors with characteristic side blades for a sporty design. You can see the vehicle’s strong shoulders and a new Porsche logo in the center of a rear 3D light strip.

I know styling is really not the point of this article,and for the Macan it's fine, but I think Porsche's conservative design philosophy is holding it back here. My opinion Is that it's ok, but boring. Compared to the EV9 or Cadillac Lyric, or even the new Lexus GX550, there's not much new.

Granted, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and this car is still pretty, and fully aligns with Porsche's design ethos
