Porsche: First photos and data of the E-Macan 🎥

WORLD PREMIERE Porsche launches its second all-electric model. With up to 470 kW (639 PS), the new Macan not only offers sports car-level electric performance, but also a high level of everyday usability.

 

Ten years after its market launch, the Porsche Macan is now entering its second model generation as a fully electric model. The two model variants Macan 4 and Macan Turbo are intended to fully meet the requirements of Porsche customers with their timeless design, brand-typical performance and high suitability for everyday use.

Oliver Blume, Chairman of the Executive Board of Porsche AG: "We are taking the Macan to a new level - with exceptional e-performance, the new Driver Experience and expressive design."

Externally, the electrically powered Macan is reminiscent of its large E-Performance predecessor, the Taycan.

To 100 km/h in 5.2 seconds

Porsche relies on the latest generation of permanently excited synchronous motors on the front and rear axles. The figures speak for themselves. With Launch Control, the Macan 4 achieves up to 300 kW (408 hp) of overboost power, while the Macan Turbo even reaches up to 470 kW (639 hp). The maximum torques are 650 and 1130 Nm respectively. The Macan 4 accelerates from a standstill to 100 km/h in 5.2 seconds, the Macan Turbo in 3.3 seconds. Top speeds are reached at 220 and 260 km/h. The electric motors draw their energy from a lithium-ion battery with a net capacity of 95 kWh. The battery is a central component of the newly developed Premium Platform Electric (PPE) with 800-volt architecture.

Charging to 80 percent in 21 minutes

The DC charging power is up to 270 kW. This means that the battery charge level can be raised from 10 to 80 percent in around 21 minutes at the rapid charging station. While driving, energy can be recuperated via the electric motors with up to 240 kW. The combined WLTP range is up to 613 kilometers for the Macan 4 and up to 591 kilometers for the Macan Turbo.

Drag coefficient of 0.25

The proportions typical of the brand have been further developed and adapted to the challenges of an electric vehicle. This has further sharpened the dynamic appearance of the 4.78-metre-long and 1.62-metre-high Macan. The car rolls on wheels measuring up to 22 inches and has an extended wheelbase of 2.89 meters. Porsche combines the design DNA with range-optimizing aerodynamics. With a drag coefficient of 0.25, the Macan is one of the most aerodynamic SUV models.

All occupants now sit lower

The generous amount of space includes the load compartment with a volume of up to 540 liters and the frunk with 84 liters. With the rear seat backrest folded down, up to 1348 liters are available at the rear, and the maximum towing capacity is 2000 kilograms.

The driver and front passenger now sit up to 28 millimeters lower and the rear passengers up to 15 millimeters lower than before. The interior is unmistakably Porsche. The display and operating concept includes up to three screens, including the free-standing 12.6-inch instrument cluster and the 10.9-inch central display.

 

With rear axle steering on request

Porsche has developed the Macan with a strong focus on the driving dynamics typical of the brand, high everyday comfort and a characteristic steering feel. The Macan 4 and Macan Turbo feature all-wheel drive with electronically controlled Traction Management (ePTM) and Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus). Models with air suspension - standard on the Turbo - are equipped with Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) damper control, and for the first time the Macan comes with optional rear-axle steering. The first deliveries of the new model will take place in the second half of the year - with prices starting at 95,800 Swiss francs (Macan 4) and 131,200 Swiss francs (Macan Turbo).
