| PorscheMacan Electric | TeslaModel X (2025) | |
|---|---|---|
| Overview | ||
| Released | September 2024 | 2025 |
| Performance | ||
| Powertrain | Electric | Electric |
| Power | 355–630 bhp | 670–1,020 bhp (better) |
| 0–62 mph | 3.3–5.7 s | 2.6–3.9 s (better) |
| Top speed | 137–162 mph | 149–163 mph (better) |
| Engine or motors | Overboost power with Launch Control: 265 kW / 360 PS (Macan), 300 kW / 408 PS (Macan 4), 380 kW / 516 PS (4S), 420 kW / 571 PS (GTS), 470 kW / 639 PS (Turbo); bhp converted from these kW figures. Standard maximum power 250, 285, 330, 380 and 430 kW. 0–62 mph figures are with Launch Control | Dual-motor all-wheel drive or Plaid with three motors and carbon-sleeved rotors. Current UK maker peak claims are 670 hp and 1,020 hp, based on acceleration testing, simulation and battery limits. |
| Torque | 563 Nm (Macan), 650 Nm (Macan 4), 820 Nm (4S), 955 Nm (GTS), 1,130 Nm (Turbo), with Launch Control | – |
| Gearbox | Single-speed | – |
| Drive | Rear-wheel drive (Macan Electric); all-wheel drive on the other versions | The 2025 physical refresh adds revised and retuned air suspension, new comfort components, greater noise isolation and sound-absorbing interior materials. New 20- and 22-inch wheel designs and low-resistance tyres improve efficiency. |
| Range and charging | ||
| Zero-emission range (WLTP) | 363–398 miles | – |
| Fastest charging | 270 kW (better) | 250 kW |
| Range detail | WLTP combined: 340–398 miles (Macan), 327–379 (4), 325–379 (4S), 329–363 (GTS), 328–366 miles (Turbo); city up to 520 miles (Macan) | UK maker page estimates 403 miles for Dual Motor and 378 miles for Plaid without explicitly labelling these configuration figures WLTP. Main WLTP range is therefore omitted; US EPA estimates and review highway tests use different conditions. Current US maker EPA estimates: 352 miles Dual Motor and 335 miles Plaid; these are separate regional ratings, not WLTP. |
| Charging | 100.0 kWh gross battery; 800-volt; 10–80% in 21 minutes at up to 270 kW DC, 33 minutes on 400-volt chargers; AC 0–100% in 10.0 h at 11 kW or 5.3 h at 22 kW | Maximum 250 kW Supercharging; actual charging rate depends on battery temperature, state of charge and charger. |
| Efficiency | 3.0–3.7 mi/kWh (WLTP combined, model range) | Current UK product page: 18.3 kWh/100 km Dual Motor; 19.3 kWh/100 km Plaid. German maker labels distinguish these current values from the older 2022–2025 versions at 19.1/20.8. |
| CO2 emissions | 0 g/km | 0 g/km tailpipe CO₂; UK maker page lists CO₂ efficiency class A. |
| Practicality | ||
| Body | SUV | SUV |
| Seats | 5 | 5–7 (better) |
| Boot | 518 litres | 420–1,111 litres (better) |
| Length | 4,784 mm | 5,057 mm |
| Width | 1,938 mm | 1,999 mm |
| Weight | From 2,295 kg | From 2,348 kg |
| Boot | 518 litres rear (472–480 litres with Burmester or Bose audio), 84-litre front boot; 1,326 litres with the rear seats folded | Current US manual: five-seat rear boot 1,111 litres; six- and seven-seat layouts 420 litres behind the occupied third row. All have an additional 183-litre front trunk. With third row folded: six-seat 996 litres; seven-seat 1,018 litres. Six-seat second row moves to maximum cargo position rather than folding flat. Its 2,675-litre maximum includes the front trunk, third row folded and second row moved forward, with only driver and front passenger; it is not Plaid boot space with six occupants. |
| Towing | 2,000 kg braked (Macan), 2,500 kg (all-wheel-drive versions); 750 kg unbraked | UK maker claims 2,300 kg Dual Motor and 2,250 kg Plaid. |
| Size | 4,784 mm long, 1,938 mm wide (1,952 mm GTS; 2,152 mm with mirrors), about 1,623 mm high; 2,893 mm wheelbase; 12.1 m turning circle (11.1 m with rear-axle steering); EC unladen weight 2,295 kg (Macan) to 2,480 kg (Turbo) | Current US manual: 2,271 mm wide with mirrors, 2,965 mm wheelbase; height 1,680 mm at medium suspension or 1,720 mm at highest setting. Current UK curb mass: 2,348 kg Dual Motor and 2,470 kg Plaid. Main acceleration uses German maker 0–100 km/h figures; Plaid’s 2.6 seconds subtracts rollout. The refresh also increases third-row shoulder room. The current US maker dual-motor top speed is 155 mph, differing from the UK 149 mph specification. |
| Release and generation details | – | The physical refresh was announced in Tesla’s US article on 12 June 2025 and described in a regional article dated 27 October 2025. Neither publication establishes an exact first customer-delivery date, so year precision is retained. This entry covers the refreshed hardware and current regional configurations; its 2026 model-year naming does not mean a separate generation. Tesla’s Q2 2026 investor report states the Model S and Model X production lines were decommissioned; remaining stock is distinct from ongoing manufacture. The current US maker page also states Model X is no longer in production; remaining pre-owned inventory may still be available. |
| Tech and safety | ||
| Infotainment | – | Current UK page lists 17.4-inch front and 9.4-inch rear touchscreens plus driver instrument display; 22-speaker/960 W audio, dynamic ambient lighting, heated seats, front-seat ventilation, three-zone climate control and HEPA filtration. Display sizes describe current specifications, not asserted initial June equipment. |
| Driver assistance | – | The refresh adds a front fascia camera, blind-spot indicator and adaptive headlights. Tesla Vision provides camera-based driving and parking assistance. Full Self-Driving (Supervised) requires active supervision and depends on regional availability; it is not autonomous driving. |
| Warranty | High-voltage battery 8 years or 100,000 miles | UK: basic vehicle 4 years/50,000 miles; battery and drive unit 8 years/150,000 miles, whichever comes first. |
