也许是电动保时捷Macan的灰色车身、略显圆润的车顶线条，或是模糊的SUV式车身比例，但当我在城市和郊区街道上接送孩子和购买杂货时，我一次也没有注意到其他车流露出的渴望目光。与我测试过的其他车型不同，没有爱好者停下来向我提问。
Maybe it was the grey color, the slightly bulbous roofline, or the vaguely SUV-like proportions of the electric Porsche Macan, but as I shuttled kids and groceries around city and suburban streets, I never once noticed a longing stare from other drivers. Unlike with other cars I’ve tested, no enthusiasts stopped to ask me questions.
2026款保时捷Macan Turbo只是默默融入了车流，留下了一连串存在主义的疑问。究竟什么是跑车？它是否需要极其外向？是否应该与其燃油版车型一样拥有更纤细、更轻盈的外观？
The 2026 Porsche Macan Turbo simply blended in, leaving in its wake a raft of existential questions. What is a sports car, anyway? Does it need to be overwhelmingly extroverted? Should it match the leaner, lighter look of its gas-powered sibling?
开上一圈，疑问便烟消云散。也许是因为加速让人喘不过气？又或许是因为，从数据上看，Macan的内核是一辆跑车，尽管它的跨界车身样式相当平庸。
Drive one and the questions cease. Maybe that’s because the acceleration makes it hard to breathe? Or maybe it’s because, by the numbers, the Macan is a sports car at heart despite its rather humdrum crossover body style.
我的乘客会同意这一点。我送去足球训练的孩子们，无论是自己的还是别人的，都对这股强劲的加速给予高度评价。抬头显示器（2660美元）上报告的G力，可以轻易模拟重力的拉力。在时速70英里时猛踩油门，车辆会猛冲而出，仿佛原本静止不动。（请放心，各位家长。我没有在车上载着孩子时尝试过。）在蜿蜒道路上，这辆车活跃起来，部分得益于四轮转向系统（2150美元）。
My passengers would agree. The kids I drove to soccer practice, both my own and others, gave the punchy acceleration high marks. The G-forces it reports on the head-up display ($2,660) can easily mimic the pull of gravity. Stab the accelerator at 70 mph and it lurches as though it were standing still. (Don’t worry, fellow parents. I did not try that with children on board.) On winding roads, the car comes alive, thanks in part to the four-wheel steering ($2,150).
切换到Sport Plus模式，车辆会通过空气悬挂系统“物理上”降低车身。我们确定这只是另一辆平庸的跨界车吗？也许，对于一辆如此灵敏且强大的汽车来说，平庸是一种有用的特质。
Drop it into Sport Plus mode, and the car literally drops on its air suspension. Are we sure this is another anonymous crossover? Maybe anonymity is a useful trait in a car this responsive and powerful.
与大多数两排跨界车不同，你会感觉自己是坐在Macan里面，而不是坐在上面。方向盘延伸得足够远，可以实现运动驾驶姿势，而经典的保时捷计时码表（1040美元）置于仪表板顶端，记录着送孩子去足球训练所需的秒数。
Unlike most two-row crossovers, you get the feeling of sitting in the Macan, not on it. The wheel extends far enough to make a sporty driving position possible, and the classic Porsche chronometer ($1,040) perched atop the dash ticks off the seconds it takes to get the kid to soccer practice.
坚果和螺栓 2027款保时捷Macan Turbo EV是一款两排座的跨界车，拥有630马力和100千瓦时的电池。这款由汽车制造商提供我使用一周的电动汽车，起售价为112,700美元。然而，我试驾的那辆车价格为149,610美元，包含目的地费用。是的，仅选装配置的费用就足以买一辆配置不错的雪佛兰Bolt。有了保时捷和选装配置，如果你还要问价……嗯，最好还是别问。
Nuts and bolts The 2027 Porsche Macan Turbo EV is a two-row crossover with 630 horsepower and a 100-kilowatt-hour battery. The EV, which the automaker provided to me for a week, starts at $112,700. However, the one I drove rang up at $149,610, including destination fees. Yes, the options alone could buy a nicely equipped Chevy Bolt. With Porsche and options, if you have to ask…well, it’s better not to.
我试驾的保时捷Macan Turbo EV采用石板灰Neo（升级费用为2,620美元），做工非常出色，是我见过的最好的灰色之一。如果你渴望奢华的低调感，那么这种灰色就是你的选择。
The Porsche Macan Turbo EV I drove came in Slate Grey Neo (a $2,620 upgrade), which was really well executed and among the best greys I’ve seen. If you crave luxurious anonymity, then this grey is your color.
还有许多其他选装配置，在我看来，并非所有都值得购买。我会跳过乘客显示屏（1,710美元）；我的孩子喜欢它能播放YouTube视频，但他们不能坐在前排，而我的妻子对此并不感冒。“我们的洗衣机也能播放YouTube视频，”她说。
There were a slew of other options, and in my view, not all of them are worth it. I’d skip the passenger display ($1,710); my kids liked that it could play YouTube videos, but they can’t ride up front, and my wife was underwhelmed. “Our washing machine can play YouTube videos,” she said.
我也会放弃在前排座椅背面加装照明的保时捷字标（690美元）、能将“PORSCHE”投射到路面上的水洼灯（420美元）、头枕上的保时捷徽章（640美元）以及门槛上的照明Turbo标识（1,230美元）。
I’d also forgo include an illuminated Porsche wordmark on the front seatbacks ($690), puddle lamps that shine “PORSCHE” onto the pavement ($420), Porsche crests on the headrests ($640), and an illuminated Turbo badge on the door sills ($1,230).
这个Turbo标识成为我一些朋友争论的焦点，他们很快指出，电动汽车从技术上讲不可能有涡轮增压。这一点是正确的，但汽车命名早已与实际脱节。如今几乎每一辆保时捷都带有涡轮增压，即使它们没有明确标注这一点。
That Turbo badge became a point of contention for some of my friends, who were quick to point out that EVs technically can’t have turbos. That is true, though automotive names have long been divorced from reality. Almost every Porsche these days has a turbo, even those not labeled as such.
这不仅仅是保时捷的问题：例如，宝马的车型编号早在几十年前就不再反映发动机排量，而福特银河也从未依赖其所谓的“超空间引擎”在星系间穿梭。抱歉，朋友们，我不上当。
It’s not just Porsche: BMW’s model numbers, for example, stopped reflecting engine displacement decades ago, and the Ford Galaxie never traveled between star systems using its hyperdrive. Sorry, friends, I’m not taking the bait.
至少Macan Turbo的电动车特性不会引发太多疑问。它充电速度快 — — 在350千瓦充电桩上，从19%充到80%恰好需要20分钟 — — 并且续航里程约为285英里。虽然那些大轮毂（4110美元）和粘性轮胎（660美元）消耗了一些续航，但仍然足以从纽约开到波士顿，而且还有剩余电量。
At least the Macan Turbo’s EV qualities don’t raise too many questions. It charges fast — exactly 20 minutes from 19% to 80% on a 350-kilowatt charger — and gets about 285 miles of highway range. Those big wheels ($4,110) and sticky tires ($660) sapped some range, but it was still more than enough to get from New York to Boston with charge to spare.
高级驾驶辅助系统（1140美元）表现尚可，即使在车道中偶尔会有轻微偏移。AI驱动的语音助手在理解我的查询和指令方面表现出色。一段时间里，我以为它是打开加热方向盘（720美元）的唯一方式，而实际上这样也很好，因为它工作得非常好。（惊喜！方向盘内侧辐条之间有一个小按钮隐藏在那里。我想，懂的人自然懂。）
The advanced driver assistance system ($1,140) works well enough, even if it hunts a bit in the lane. The AI-powered voice assistant did a solid job of interpreting my queries and commands. For a while, I thought it was the only way to turn on the heated steering wheel ($720), which was actually fine because it worked so well. (Surprise! There’s a small button hidden on the inner rim of the steering wheel between two spokes. IYKYK, I guess.)
当该离开Macan时，你只需打开车门离开即可。Burmester音响系统（4960美元）会持续播放，直到你锁上车门，这也是一个有用的提醒。如果你是保守的保时捷爱好者，也可以按下驾驶显示屏左侧的残留电源按钮。我想，有选择总是好的？至少保时捷不会为这个收费。
When it’s time to leave the Macan, you can just open the door and walk away. The Burmester sound system ($4,960) will keep bumpin’ until you lock the door, which is a helpful reminder. If you’re a Porsche traditionalist, you can also hit the vestigial power button to the left of the driver’s display. Good to have choices, I guess? At least Porsche doesn’t charge you for that.
它的不足之处在于导航系统，尤其是它与电动车的集成方式，表现平平。
Where it fell short The navigation system, and specifically how it integrates with the EV, was underwhelming.
当车辆电量为22%时，我让它查找最近的快速充电站。它指引我去了两个充电点。不是两种不同的选择，而是我应当依次使用的两个充电桩。第一个是位于购物中心停车场的50千瓦充电桩，距离约十分钟。在那里，我本应先补充几个百分点的电量后拔掉充电器，然后开车穿过马路到另一个购物中心的停车场，在那里我将在350千瓦充电桩上完成充电。
When the car was at a 22% state of charge, I asked it to find the nearest fast charger. It directed me to two. Not two different options, but two chargers that I was supposed to use sequentially. The first was a 50-kilowatt charger in a mall parking lot ten minutes away. There, I was supposed to add a few percentage points before unplugging and driving across the street to another mall’s parking lot, where I would finish at a 350-kilowatt charger.
等等，什么？我忽略了机器，直接开到了350千瓦的充电桩，到达时电量为19%。倒入车位时，车还在指示我去更慢的充电桩。我想它可能不想让电量低于20%？已经太晚了。可能某处有设置可以改这个，但不太明显。至少充电功率峰值达到了245千瓦，接近270千瓦的最大值。
Wait, what? I ignored the machine and drove straight to the 350-kilowatt charger, arriving at 19%. As backed into the stall, the car was still commanding me to drive to the slower charger. I guess it didn’t want the battery to dip below 20%? Too late. There’s probably a setting to change that somewhere, but it wasn’t obvious. At least the charge rate peaked at 245 kilowatts, close to the 270-kilowatt maximum.
电动Macan就像是对一个晦涩的《危险边缘》问题的回答：汽车工业中的身份危机是什么样子的？我愿意出15万美元买一辆保时捷Macan Turbo，亚历克斯。
The electric Macan is like the answer to an esoteric Jeopardy! question: What does an identity crisis look like in the automotive industry? I’ll take a Porsche Macan Turbo for $150,000, Alex.
对于口袋够深的人来说，电动汽车已经模糊了跑车和其他车型之间的界限。真正的汽车爱好者可能还有另一辆车用于赛车，但如果你只是想花几个小时在弯路上尽情驾驶，Macan完全能胜任。此外，你还能在现实生活中使用它，而且不用花大价钱来保持它的电量。
For anyone with deep enough pockets, EVs have blurred the line between sports cars and everything else. True gear heads will have another car to race, but if you want to spend a few hours carving corners, the Macan will do just fine. As a bonus, you can also use it in real life and won’t pay through the nose to keep it filled up.
实际上，这又引出了一个问题，这次是问我的编辑：我能拿到更高的薪水吗？
Actually, that raises another question, this one for my editor: Can I get a fatter paycheck?
