Macan electric: performance and comfortable range for all your journeys
Is the electric Porsche Macan as efficient as its internal combustion versions?
"With the 100% electric Macan, we intend to offer the sportiest model in its segment," says Jörg Kerner, head of the Macan range.
The compact electric SUV is equipped with the latest generation of permanent magnet (PSM) synchronous electric motors, positioned both front and rear. This configuration guarantees optimum efficiency and perfectly controlled power. The vehicle's performance is backed up by impressive figures. Thanks to Launch Control, the Macan 4 can deliver up to 408 hp (300 kW) in overboost mode, while the Macan Turbo can deliver up to 639 hp (470 kW). Maximum torque is 650 Nm for the Macan 4 and 1,130 Nm for the Macan Turbo.
These values ensure exceptional sporting performance: the Macan 4 accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.2 seconds, while the Macan Turbo does so in just 3.3 seconds. Top speeds are equally remarkable, with 220 km/h for the Macan 4 and 260 km/h for the Macan Turbo.
The electric motors are powered by an underfloor lithium-ion battery with a gross capacity of 100 kWh (of which 95 kWh are usable). This high-voltage battery is a central element of Porsche's new 800 V architecture, called Premium Platform Electric (PPE), used for the first time in the Macan. DC recharging can reach up to 270 kW, enabling the battery to be recharged from 10% to 80% in around 21 minutes at a fast-charging station.
When the vehicle is connected to charging stations a device integrated into the battery divides it into two 400 V batteries, facilitating parallel recharging of the two batteries up to 135 kW, without the need for additional components to boost voltage. In addition, AC charging is possible up to 11 kW on residential wall-mounted charging stations.
While driving, the electric motors recover energy up to 240 kW. The Integrated Power Box (IPB) plays an important role in the efficiency of the new Macan models, while reducing weight and size. This innovative and compact IPB unit combines three essential components: the on-board AC charger (alternating current), the high-voltage heating system and the DC/DC converter(direct current).
In terms of WLTP combined cycle range, the Macan 4 can cover up to 613 km, while the Macan Turbo achieves 591 km. This performance far exceeds that of a Tesla Model Y, even though its battery is smaller (455-533 km WLTP), but slightly below that of the Mercedes EQE (518-639 km WLTP) with its 90 kWh battery.
Porsche Macan electric: A design with a difference
With its flowing, athletic lines, the new Macan inherits Porsche's design DNA. Its balanced proportions and sleek silhouette give it a resolutely sporty look and a strong character.
"For the new Macan, we've taken a Porsche model with an established identity and made it 100% electric for the first time," says Michael Mauer, Head of Porsche Styling.
The new Porsche Macan clearly emphasizes its brand identity. Its design positions it as a fully-fledged member of the Porsche family. Classic Porsche proportions have been carefully adapted to meet the challenges of an electric model, reinforcing its sportiness, modernity and dynamics. In short, the Macan remains the sporting benchmark in its segment, even in its electric version.
The Macan also boasts a dynamic silhouette, even when stationary, thanks to the slight slope of the front hood and the pronounced curve of the fenders. Its dimensions of 4,784 mm long, 1,938 mm wide and 1,622 mm high give it an imposing presence. Wheels of up to 22 inches add to its robust appearance. The wheelbase has been lengthened by 86 mm compared to the previous model, now measuring 2,893 mm, while the overhangs have been shortened, enhancing the vehicle's visual balance.
At the front, the lights are divided into two segments: the upper headlamp unit incorporates four-point daytime running lights, emphasizing the car's width, while the main light module, optionally equipped with matrix LED technology, is positioned lower down. Porsche's characteristic plunging roofline flows harmoniously into the rear window. The frameless doors and sideblades add a touch of elegance and sportiness to the design. The broad shoulders of the rear give it a muscular look, while the Porsche monogram is now highlighted in the center of the raised lighting strip.
10,000 orders for the 100% electric Macan
After a successful 2023, with sales of 40.5 billion euros (up 7.7% on 2022) and 320,221 vehicles delivered, Porsche has set ambitious targets for 2024. The Porsche brand plans to launch four new models, including the 100% electric Macan. And it seems that this small SUV is already winning over many customers.
Porsche announces that it has received 10,000 orders for the Macan. First deliveries of the new model are scheduled for the second half of 2024. Production will take place in Leipzig, alongside its internal combustion engine counterpart.
Porsche targets 80% electric sales by 2030
We're aiming for 80% electric sales by 2030″, assures Marc Meurer, President of Porsche France.
The brand has already launched several successful electric models, including the Taycanand plans to launch more in the coming years. By 2025, Porsche aims to have half its sales of electric or plug-in hybrid models.
To reach its target of 80% electric sales by 2030, Porsche will have to invest in developing new technologies and expanding its recharging network.
