The Macan Electric is the second pure electric vehicle equipped with an electric power train after the pure electric sports car Taycan. Macan, which has held an unrivaled position in the compact SUV segment since its debut in 2014, is a pure electric model with typical Porsche sports car handling, long mileage and excellent everyday use.
The Macan Electric offers the highest level of E-performance. When the launch control is operated, the Macan produces 360 horsepower (265 kW), the Macan 4 produces 408 horsepower (300 kW), the Macan 4S produces 516 horsepower (380 kW), and the Macan Turbo produces 639 horsepower (470 kW).
The maximum torque is 57.4kg·m for Macan, 66.3kg·m for Macan 4, 83.6kg·m for Macan 4S, and 115.2kg·m for Macan Turbo. It takes 5.7 seconds for the Macan, 5.2 seconds for the Macan 4, 4.1 seconds for the Macan 4S, 3.3 seconds for the Macan Turbo. The top speed is 220km/h for the Macan 4 and 240km/h and 260km/h for the Macan 4S and Macan Turbo. The driving ranges are 474 km, 454 km, 450 km, and 429 km, respectively.
Electric motors receive power with a total capacity of 100 kWh from lithium-ion batteries mounted under the vehicle body, and can actively use up to 95 kWh. The high voltage battery is a key technology in Porsche's newly developed premium platform Electric (PPE) and is based on an 800V architecture.
Makan Electric realized an optimized air resistance coefficient of 0.25, completing a progressive and timeless design. DC fast charging output is up to 270kW thanks to the 800V architecture of premium platform Electric (PPE). With the right quick charger, the battery can be charged from 10% to 80% in about 21 minutes.
First Macan with rear axle steering and two-valve damper
Porsche developed the Macan Electric with a focus on unique Porsche driving dynamics and characteristic steering. The four-wheel drive model controls two electric motors in almost real time through a power unit. The electronically controlled Porsche Traction Management (ePTM) responds about five times faster than conventional four-wheel drive systems.
The rear axle electric motor of the Macan Electric model is equipped with a pulse inverter (PWR) applied with silicon carbide, a high-efficiency semiconductor material, to increase efficiency. It reduces the switching loss in the pulse inverter and implements a higher switching frequency. The Macan and Macan 4 rear axle pulse inverters supply up to 480 amperes of current and can supply up to 600 amperes on the Macan 4S and up to 900 amperes on the Macan Turbo.
The Macan Electric with Air Suspension (Turbo Basic Specification) will feature Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) electronic damping controls. It is also available in optional specifications for steel spring suspensions. The PASM also includes a damper with two-valve technology. Thanks to the expanded damper map, the spectrum between comfortable ride comfort and driving performance is also wider. The Macan Electric is the first Macan to have rear axle steering, with a maximum steering angle of 5°.
Aerodynamic technology optimized for expanding drivable distance
Makan Electric combines Porsche's unique design DNA with advanced aerodynamic technology to maximize driving efficiency. The Porsche Active Aerodynamic (PAA) system optimises airflow, including adaptive rear spoilers, active cooling flaps on the front air intake, and a closed body lower cover. The air curtain under the headlight module, the lowered front end and rear diffuser design maximize aerodynamic efficiency. Through this, it has secured excellent mileage and performance while maintaining a streamlined body line.
The Macan Electric, with its sharply trimmed ratio and Porsche-designed DNA, further developed the Porsche-specific body ratio while maintaining Macan's identity, completing a sporty yet modern and dynamic appearance.
Innovative interior with sporty and practicality
The Macan Electric is a performance SUV with ample indoor space and practicality. Due to the application of the electrification platform, the trunk capacity behind the second-row seat has been extended to up to 540L, and the seat position of the driver's seat and passenger seat is lowered by up to 28mm, providing a sportier sense. The position of the second-row seat with increased legroom also fell by up to 15 mm. The interior is equipped with a black panel-emphasized cockpit design to bring Porsche sensibility to life, and the center console emphasizes a low position focusing on performance.
In addition, a bright and open indoor atmosphere was created through a large window area, and the latest digital technology and analog senses were harmonized. The driver's seat and door panel are equipped with integrated LED lighting, which provides a variety of information, including an ambient light role, a welcome function to welcome passengers, a charge status indication, and a connection with the driver assistance system. Various equipment applied to Macan Electric enables a high level of customization.
'Driver Experience' combines the latest infotainment system with advanced IT technology
Makan Electric has the latest display system and operation configuration with up to three screens: an independent 12.6-inch display, a curved instrument cluster, and a 10.9-inch center display. For the first time, the optional 10.9-inch screen for passenger seats allows passengers to view various information, manipulate the infotainment system, or watch video streaming content.
The Porsche Driver Experience' also includes a head-up display with augmented reality technology for the first time. Virtual visual elements such as navigation arrows are seamlessly integrated with the actual driving environment.
The driver can check information corresponding to the size of the 87-inch display 10 meters in front of the front, providing a more intuitive driving experience.Prices for the Macan model, Macan 4, Macan 4S, and Macan Turbo start at 99.1 million won, 159.9 million won, 114.4 million won, and 138.5 million won.
