Porsche India, known for making excellent sportscars and SUVs, held a drive experience at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025. At the event, it showcased the capabilities of the Macan GTS and Macan EV Turbo SUVs across a specially designed track.
Porsche Macan GTS: Drive Experience
First up, we got the chance to experience the Macan GTS SUV. As soon as you step into it, you notice the impeccable interior quality which has always been a Porsche hallmark. At the outset, the Macan is silent and quiet- however, push it more and it becomes a complete beast. Across the track which included the slalom obstacle, it totally impressed us with its poise and confidence around the tight corners as well as the punchy 2.9L flat-six petrol engine which propelled the car forward with great urgency.
The quad-tip exhaust has also been tuned well and offers superb aural pleasure when pushed enhancing the experience further.
Porsche Macan EV Turbo: Drive Experience
Next up was the all-electric Macan EV in the “Turbo” guise. Stepping inside the Macan EV felt just like stepping into one of Porsche’s sportscars. With a futuristic looking fully-digital cluster and snug sport seats, it felt modern while also retaining the “Porsche-ness” of the materials as well as the fit and finish. Release the brake and the Macan EV creeps up silently. Make no mistake looking at the EV tag however because the Porsche DNA still runs through its veins.
The beautiful thing about the Macan EV Turbo is that it can be the comfortable and refined luxury SUV to potter around the town in and all it takes is a little more throttle to bring out the animal in it. Being an EV, it offers instant torque which immediately pushes you back into the seat. Now, the Macan EV is a heavy car, but with the battery pack mounted low down in the floor, it doesn’t feel its weight and corners just like any other Porsche.
On the track, both cars offered fairly varied experience, although they also both demonstrated the core of Porsche which is a car truly built around the driver.
