Porsche will display quite an expansive line-up at the Auto Expo 2025 comprising both ICE and electric vehicles. Some will from its existing lineup of cars in India, while some others will be showcased here for the first time. Notably, Porsche will be the only sportscar manufacturer at the Auto Expo. Let’s take a closer look at what to expect at the German carmaker’s pavilion.
Making its India debut will be the new Macan EV, prices of which were revealed last year, ranging between Rs 1.22 crore and Rs 1.69 crore (ex-showroom). The Macan EV moves away from the familiar look established by the original Macan and takes inspiration cues from the Taycan. The interior matches that of the current Cayenne in terms of style and layout, with a three-screen setup spanning the dashboard. In India, the Macan EV is available in three variants: the base Macan RWD with a 360hp rear electric motor, the mid-spec Macan 4 with a dual-motor setup producing 408hp, and finally, the top-spec Turbo variant with 639hp and up to 1,130Nm of torque. All three variants get a 100kWh battery with a claimed range of up to 641km (WLTP).
Porsche will also showcase the Taycan facelift, although you’ll be hard-pressed to tell it apart, as very little has changed visually. More significant are the updates under the skin. All versions of the Taycan are now more powerful, with lighter electric motors and revised internals. They also get a new battery with revised cell chemistry. Power figures range between 517hp for the 4S variant and go up to 707hp on the Turbo variant. The range is now up to a maximum of 678km on the WLTP cycle.
On the ICE front, Porsche will have the new 911 (992.2 generation) with the new T-hybrid powertrain. The setup features a new turbocharged 3.6-litre six-cylinder boxer engine, a gearbox-mounted electric motor and a compact 1.9kWh liquid-cooled lithium-ion battery. Together, they provide the restyled rear-wheel-drive 911 Carrera GTS with 541hp and up to 610Nm. The updated 911 now also features active aero flaps on the front bumper, a revised spoiler and a reworked diffuser. The interior has been less obviously overhauled, but the analogue tachometer has sadly been swapped out to make the driver display all-digital.
Also displayed will be the range-topping Panamera GTS with a 500hp 4.0-litre, twin-turbo V8 and the track-focused 911 GT3 RS, both of which are already on sale here. The Panamera GTS gets a darkened theme with black GTS logos, dark-tinted HD matrix LED headlamps and tail-lamps, as well as a satin matte-black finish on the side skirts, window lining and rear bumper. The 911 GT3 RS, meanwhile, is particularly special to Autocar India, as we have set lap records in it at the BIC as well as the CoASTT racetrack.
