Verdict
Both reach 100 km/h in 5.7 seconds, so the sprint does not settle this contest. The Macan Electric brings 355 hp, 563 Nm, a 100 kWh battery and 641 km of EV range, plus a 540-litre boot. The Stelvio counters with all-wheel drive, a 230 km/h top speed and 525 litres of luggage room. For Malaysian buyers able to charge, the Porsche’s 270 kW DC capability and eight-year/160,000 km warranty make the stronger case; pick the Alfa if petrol refuelling and AWD matter more.
Pick the Alfa Romeo Stelvio if you want all-wheel drive, petrol refuelling and a lower purchase price.
Pick the Porsche Macan Electric if you can charge regularly and want more power, a 641 km EV range and longer warranty cover.
