Electric SUVs are taking over, but not all are built the same. The 2025 Porsche Macan Electric and the 2025 Audi Q4 E-Tron both bring German engineering, luxury, and technology, but one offers a truly thrilling drive while the other leans toward practicality and affordability. Which one is the better fit for Oakville drivers? Let’s find out.
Power That Makes a Difference
The Porsche Macan Electric is built for performance. Even the base model makes 335 hp and 415 lb-ft of torque, hitting 100 km/h in just 5.7 seconds. Move up to the Macan Turbo, and you get a stunning 630 hp, launching you to 100 km/h in just 3.3 seconds. Porsche’s real-time torque vectoring and rear-wheel steering make it feel like a sports car, not an SUV. The Audi Q4 E-Tron? It offers 335 hp with AWD and a 0-100 km/h time of around 6 seconds. That’s decent, but it doesn’t come close to the raw power and driving excitement of the Macan.
Range That Keeps You Moving
Long drives? No problem in the Macan Electric. With a range of up to 654 km, it’s built for road trips, weekend getaways, and daily commutes without range anxiety. The Audi Q4 E-Tron is more limited, with a maximum range of 414 km. That’s a big difference if you don’t want to stop and charge as often.
Luxury That Feels Right
The Porsche Macan Electric delivers a high-end cabin with a 12.6-inch curved digital gauge cluster, a 10.9-inch infotainment screen, and an optional passenger touchscreen for added control. Premium materials, racing-inspired seats, and a driver-focused layout make every drive special. The Audi Q4 E-Tron has a clean, well-built interior, but it’s not as refined as the Macan. The base model only gets a 10.1-inch screen, and some luxury features require extra expensive packages.
Handling That Sets the Macan Apart
Oakville roads are smooth, but winter driving and sharp turns demand precision. The Macan’s adaptive air suspension, rear-wheel steering, and real-time torque vectoring make it feel planted and responsive. The Q4 E-Tron has a softer suspension, focusing more on comfort than performance. While it handles well, it doesn’t match the sportiness of the Macan.
Safety That Keeps You Confident
Both SUVs come loaded with advanced driver-assist features, including:
-
Adaptive cruise control
-
Emergency braking
-
Blind-spot monitoring
-
Lane-keeping assist
The Q4 E-Tron has strong safety ratings, but the Macan’s advanced driving tech and Porsche’s focus on high-speed stability give it an edge.
