Porsche is finally unveiling its Macan EV, the electric SUV we’ve been waiting for. The all-electric Macan will show its face for the first time this month. Here’s what you can expect.
Following the rebound in sales of its first electric vehicle, the Porsche Taycan, in the last 3 months of 2023, the automaker is preparing to enter a new segment.
Porsche delivered 40,600 electric cars last year, but that number is expected to rise in 2024. Although last year the Taycan was the second fastest development style in Porsche’s 911 range, the petrol Macan still far surpassed it.
More than 87,300 Porsche Macans delivered in 2023, more than twice as many as Taycan models.
The Macan was the world’s best-selling Porsche SUV last year until the Cayenne surpassed it in the fourth quarter. After a stagnation of more than two years, next week we will see how the one hundred percent electric edition looks. .
Porsche has released a new teaser symbol on its website, confirming that it will unveil the Macan EV on January 25, 2024.
After unveiling new details about the electric SUV last month, Porsche is still giving us a date.
Porsche promises the Macan EV will be the sportiest in its segment, with over 600 hp, track skills, and unparalleled off-road capabilities.
The company has shown off prototypes traversing snow, mud, ice, and test tracks, but we’ll finally see the production edition next week.
Porsche aims to find the right balance between driving dynamics and efficiency with the new Macan EV. With a drag coefficient of just 0.25, the Macan EV is one of the most aerodynamic SUVs. That’s a major improvement over the gas-powered version (0.35).
The Macan’s 100-kWh lithium-ion battery and design innovations enable a WLTP diversity of more than 500 km in all versions.
As the first Porsche car built on the new PPE platform, the electric SUV offers a whole new experience.
Porsche’s new 800V PPE platform enables fast charging of up to 270kW. That means you can charge up from 10% to 80% in under 22 minutes. Porsche uses a high-voltage switch to split the battery into two, each with 400V.
The Macan EV uses Porsche’s newest PSM motors on the front and rear axles. Together, they produce more than six hundred horsepower (450 kW). Meanwhile, Porsche Traction Management controls more than 1,000 Nm (738 lb-ft) of torque (with release control).
To tackle any terrain, Porsche has included an active suspension control formula with two-valve surprise shock absorber technology, air suspension and rear axle transverse lock. For the first time, Porsche also includes rear axle guidance with a steering angle of up to five. Degrees.
The interior will feature plenty of physical buttons, 3 displays, and an AR front display. After Porsche reveals the Macan EV next week, orders should begin soon. Come back on the 25th for the first look at the all-electric Porsche Macan.
