The newly added base model, the new EV Macan, is rear-wheel drive and focuses primarily on high efficiency and range, while the new Macan 4S is positioned at the top performance range of the Macan lineup, filling the gap between the Macan 4 and Macan Turbo.
Let's take a look at what was announced about the entry-level EV Macan and EV Macan 4S:
Electric Macan: 100 kWh battery and highly efficient power electronics
- The entry-level electric Macan also gets its energy from a 100 kWh high-voltage battery.
- Power is provided exclusively by the rear-axle electric motor used in the Macan 4, which has a diameter of 210 mm, an effective length of 200 mm and an output of 250 kW (340 PS).
- The electric motor has a 480 amp pulsed-current inverter (PWR) that uses silicon carbide (SiC), a highly efficient semiconductor material, to increase efficiency, which significantly reduces the switching losses of the PWR and increases the switching frequency.
- When combined with Launch Control, the Macan can produce up to 265 kW (360 PS) of overboost power and a maximum torque of 563 Nm.
- 0-100km/h in 5.7 seconds
- The maximum speed is 220km/h
- Without all-wheel drive, the Macan is 110kg lighter than the Macan 4.
- Less power is required for propulsion, resulting in a combined WLTP range of up to 641 km (EU spec).
Electric Macan 4S: Powerful electric motor and PASM as standard
- Like the Macan 4 and Macan Turbo, the Macan 4S is equipped with the electronic Porsche Traction Management (ePTM) system, which distributes power between the front and rear wheels around five times faster than a conventional all-wheel drive system.
- Macan 4S equipped with new rear axle motor and powerful 600 amp SiC pulse inverter
- The electric motor has a diameter of 230 mm and an effective length of 150 mm.
- Combined with the front axle motor, which is also used in the Macan 4 and Macan Turbo, the system output is 330 kW (448 PS), with short-term power overboost available to reach up to 380 kW (516 PS).
- With launch control, maximum torque is 820Nm
- With launch control, the Macan 4S can reach 0-100 km/h in 4.1 seconds.
- The maximum speed is 240km/h
- WLTP combined range is up to 606km (EU spec)
- The Macan 4S comes standard with Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM).
- Adaptive air suspension with levelling system and height adjustment, Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus) and rear-axle steering make it possible to further optimise the chassis for increased performance and comfort.
- The two new models retain all the qualities of the second-generation Macan, including a progressive, timeless design with range-optimised aerodynamics (cw=0.25).
- Premium Platform Electric (PPE) 800-Volt architecture enables DC charging capacity of up to 270 kW
- The high-voltage battery can be charged from 10% to 80% in approximately 21 minutes at a suitable fast-charging station.
New Color, Wheel and Off-Road Design Packages
- New exterior color "Slate Grey Neo" now available for all Macan models
- The 20-inch Macan S wheels have been added to the wheel portfolio.
- A new Off-Road Design package is available as an option for all models, further enhancing the Macan's everyday usability.
- You can now ride more easily on rough unpaved roads and especially steep uphill and downhill sections.
- The redesigned front bumper increases the approach angle by up to 17.4 degrees depending on the model (with the air suspension in its highest level).
- Combined with the adaptive air suspension, the Off-Road Design Package provides a ground clearance of 195mm, 10mm higher than the standard setting.
- The Off-Road Design Package is available in two colors:
- Vesuvius Grey
- Exterior color
- The following parts are painted in the above colors with the Off-Road Design Package:
- Front bumper
- Side skirt
- Diffuser Panel
- Roof rails
- Also available are 21-inch off-road design wheels in Vesuvius Grey.
- If the Off-Road Design Package is selected as the vehicle's exterior color, the side blades will also be painted in the same color.
- The roof rails are available in three colours:
- black
- Silver
- Turbo Night (turbo only)
- For the Macan, Macan 4 and Macan 4S, the Off-Road front bumper with Vesuvius Gray inlay (a separate option) increases the approach angle, just like the Off-Road Design package.
Porsche Driver Experience with new design and new features
- With the shift to EV, the EV Macan will feature new display and control systems.
- The Porsche Driver Experience combines digital and analogue elements
- This includes:
- Instrument cluster with 12.6-inch curved display
