You’ll have to wait a bit to discover the Macan without camouflage. Now, the manufacturer provides only a few photos of pre-production cars, as well as a number of technical information. However, we can already guess a more streamlined appearance than on the current model, to increase the aerodynamics important for the autonomy of the electric model. And Macan, of course, will take looks like a small Cayenne, in particular due to its light design and cross stripe on the tailgate. The passenger cabin will receive three screens, including for the front passenger, and multimedia will be equipped with a new voice assistant. First of all, the navigation system will be able to independently program the necessary stops for recharging during long journeys and thus pre-warm the battery to optimize charging speed.

600 kilometers of autonomy

It can reach 270 kW on direct current, enough to restore up to 100 km in just 4 minutes of connection. And the icing on the cake: this battery preset will also work with Google Maps and Apple Maps, for the first time. A battery with a capacity of approximately 100 kWh should provide a range of approximately 550 to 600 km. We’ve yet to get behind the wheel of this Macan, but we’ve already tried it as a passenger with Porsche’s factory driver. The performances promise to be spectacular! But It is, above all, dexterity that has been the subject of all attention. The Macan has a very good balance with a harmonious distribution of weight between the front and rear parts (48-52%). There all-wheel drive The drive type provides excellent traction under normal use. When conditions require it, he can return up to 60% front torque.

For sports and off-road

The chassis has some interesting mechanical solutions. THE Porsche Vectoring system slightly brakes the rear wheel on the inside of the turn to increase the car’s turn and also improves traction. In addition, The 5° angle of rotation of the rear axle improves maneuverability at low speeds by turning the front wheels in the opposite direction up to 80 km/h, and stability at high speed by turning in the same direction as the front axle.

As such, the Macan is really capable of “hitting” some time on the track… while remaining playful enough for those who know how to do it. deactivated ESP leaves a lot of generosity for clean driving. The electric SUV even has a special off-road mode that will allow increase the clearance by 40 mm. Electric Porsche Macan will be published in final version on January 25. Then we will know the entire supply and capacities. Marketing is planned no earlier than mid-2024.
