Unveiling the All-New Porsche Macan's Prowess

February 4, 2024
Porsche takes the automotive world by storm with the electrifying debut of the first all-electric Macan, setting new benchmarks in SUV performance. The latest iteration of the Macan, boasting powertrains up to 470 kW (639 PS), showcases the seamless integration of cutting-edge E-Performance on any terrain, paired with remarkable day-to-day usability. Sporting-car-like performance figures are not the only highlight; the Macan's high-performance fast charging, reaching up to 270 kW, and a phenomenal range of up to 613 km in WLTP truly redefine electric SUV standards.
 
A decade since its inception, the Porsche Macan enters its second model generation, now in a fully electric form. The new Macan 4 and the Macan Turbo, through their progressive design, distinctive Porsche performance, extensive range, and practicality, aim to meet the evolving demands of SUV enthusiasts. "We are taking the Macan to a completely new level – with exceptional E-Performance, the new Driver Experience, and a very impressive design," exclaimed Oliver Blume, Chairman of the Executive Board of Porsche AG, during the world premiere in Singapore.
 
Jörg Kerner, Vice President Product Line Macan, expressed Porsche's ambition, stating, "Our aim is to offer the sportiest model in its segment with the all-electric Macan." The Macan achieves this through the use of the latest generation of permanently-excited PSM electric motors on the front and rear axles, ensuring outstanding efficiency and optimal reproducibility of power output. The Macan 4, with Launch Control, reaches up to 300 kW (408 PS), while the Macan Turbo impressively boasts up to 470 kW (639 PS). Both models deliver exceptional torque of 650 and 1,130 Nm, respectively, ensuring an exhilarating driving experience. The Macan 4 accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.2 seconds, while the Macan Turbo achieves this feat in a mere 3.3 seconds, with top speeds of 220 km/h and 260 km/h, respectively.
 
The new Macan introduces the innovative Premium Platform Electric (PPE) with 800-volt architecture, a lithium-ion battery with a gross capacity of 100 kWh, and an impressive DC charging output of up to 270 kW. The battery, capable of 10 to 80 percent charging in approximately 21 minutes, ensures rapid and efficient charging at suitable fast-charging stations. The Macan also features a unique Integrated Power Box (IPB), combining the on-board AC charger, high-voltage heater, and DC/DC converter for enhanced efficiency and reduced weight and space. With a combined WLTP range of up to 613 km in the Macan 4 and up to 591 km in the Macan Turbo, Porsche sets a new standard for electric SUV range.
 
Boasting sporty proportions and distinctive Porsche Design DNA, the new Macan models exude dynamism and dominance. Michael Mauer, Vice President Style Porsche, emphasizes the evolution of the Macan's design while retaining its identity within the Porsche product family. The sharper proportions, classic Porsche features, and aerodynamic optimizations, including Porsche Active Aerodynamics, result in a streamlined and efficient SUV with a drag coefficient of 0.25.
 
The interior of the Macan combines Porsche's unmistakable elements with increased space and practicality. Electrification has led to a larger luggage space, with up to 540 liters behind the rear seat bench and an additional 'frunk' with 84 liters under the bonnet. The driver and front passenger experience a sporty, low seating position, emphasized by a width-enhancing integrated black panel. The digital user interfaces, modern features, and ecological materials used in the interior contribute to a luxurious and sustainable driving experience.
 
The Macan introduces the latest-generation display and operating concept, including up to three screens, a 12.6-inch curved-design instrument cluster, and a 10.9-inch central display. For the first time, the passenger can engage with their own optional 10.9-inch screen. The Porsche Driver Experience includes a head-up display with augmented reality technology, integrating virtual elements seamlessly into the real world. The new-generation infotainment system, based on Android Automotive OS, takes computing performance to new heights, featuring the "Hey Porsche" voice assistant for lightning-speed suggestions and commands.
 
Porsche enthusiasts can rejoice as the Macan introduces rear-axle steering, enhancing maneuverability in urban traffic with a compact turning circle of 11.1 meters and ensuring driving stability at higher speeds. The Macan models, equipped with all-wheel drive and Porsche Traction Management (ePTM), deliver quintessential Porsche driving dynamics, with Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus) further enhancing traction, stability, and lateral dynamics in the Macan Turbo.
 
Having delivered over 800,000 Macan units worldwide since 2014, Porsche continues its success story with the all-electric Macan, produced in a net carbon-neutral manner at the Porsche Plant Leipzig. The highly anticipated new models are set to be delivered to customers in the second half of the year, marking a new era of electrifying performance in the SUV segment. The all-electric Macan, a testament to Porsche's commitment to innovation and sustainable luxury, is poised to redefine expectations in the electric SUV landscape.
