New day for Porsche Macan as electric future calls

Ten years after its launch, the Porsche Macan is heading into its second model generation, now in all-electric form.

Through its progressive, timeless design, characteristic Porsche performance, long-distance range and high everyday practicality, the new Macan 4 and the new Macan Turbo aim to completely fulfill the requirements of Porsche customers choosing an SUV.

Porsche exclusively uses the latest generation of permanently-excited PSM electric motors on the front and rear axles to achieve excellent efficiency and enable optimum reproducibility of the power output.

The numbers alone indicate top-class E-Performance: In combination with Launch Control, the Macan 4 produces up to 300kW, a driving range of up to 784km.

In the Macan Turbo, power increases to 470kW, with the electric driving range capable of reaching 613km.

The maximum torque is 650Nm and 1 130Nm, respectively, for the two Macan models. The Macan 4 accelerates from a standstill to 100km/h in 5.2 seconds, while the Macan Turbo takes just 3.3 seconds. The two models achieve top speeds of 220km/h and 260km/h, respectively.

Fresh, sporty design

Thanks to the sharper proportions and Porsche Design DNA, the new Macan models look dynamic and dominant.

The shallow pitch of the bonnet and the strongly pronounced wings give the entry-level SUV, which is 4 784mm long, 1 938mm wide, and 1 622mm high, a dynamic appearance even when stationary.

The new Macan is fitted with up to 22-inch wheels with staggered tyre fitment. The wheelbase, which is 86mm longer than the previous model (2 893mm), is offset by short overhangs at the front and rear.

The headlights are divided into two parts: the flat upper light unit with four-point daytime running lights is embedded in the wings and emphasises the width of the car. The main headlight module with optional matrix LED technology is positioned slightly lower in the front end. The characteristic Porsche fly line forms a unit with the flat rear window.

In combination with the frameless doors with characteristic side blades, the result is a sleek, sporty design. Strongly pronounced shoulders give the rear a muscular look. The Porsche logo now sits in the centre of the sculptural 3D light strip.
