Citroën C5 Aircross Electric vs Porsche Macan Electric

Side-by-Side Specs

Charging Speed

The Porsche Macan Electric has the higher published DC charging figure at 269 kW, which is roughly 68% higher than the Citroën C5 Aircross Electric at 160 kW. In practice, that figure only tells part of the story. The charging curve, battery temperature, and state of charge all affect how quickly your car actually charges.

For the published fast-charge window, the Porsche Macan Electric is listed at about 23 minutes, which is 4 minutes quicker than the Citroën C5 Aircross Electric at 27 minutes. On a road trip, that difference adds up over multiple stops.

Range and Efficiency

The Porsche Macan Electric has a WLTP rated range of approximately 611 km, which is roughly 171 km more than the Citroën C5 Aircross Electric at approximately 440 km. WLTP is a standardized lab test. Expect your actual range to be lower, varying with speed, weather, terrain, and driving style.

Efficiency matters more than battery size for daily driving costs. The Porsche Macan Electric consumes 178 Wh/km, compared to 197 Wh/km for the Citroën C5 Aircross Electric. That means the Porsche Macan Electric uses less energy per kilometer, which translates to lower charging costs and fewer charging stops on longer drives.

A more efficient car does not always mean more range. Battery size plays a role too. The Porsche Macan Electric has approximately 94.9 kWh of useable battery , while the Citroën C5 Aircross Electric has approximately 73.7 kWh.

Which One Should You Choose?

If fast charging is your priority, the Porsche Macan Electric has the higher published DC figure (up to 269 kW) and the shorter published charge time at approximately 23 minutes. For long road trips, published stop time matters more than the headline kW number alone.

For AC charging (home wallboxes, workplace chargers, and public street chargers), the Porsche Macan Electric supports up to 11 kW (22 kW optional), compared to up to 11 kW for the Citroën C5 Aircross Electric. In Europe, many public chargers are 22 kW AC, so this difference can matter at those locations if the higher AC figure is fitted on the car you buy.

If you mostly charge at home or at work and care more about daily driving costs, the Porsche Macan Electric is the more efficient choice at 178 Wh/km. Lower consumption means lower electricity bills over time.

For maximum range between charges, the Porsche Macan Electric has a WLTP rated range of approximately 611 km, which is roughly 171 km more. Both are capable EVs. The best choice depends on how you charge and how far you drive.
