The brand-new Porsche Macan has actually gone all-electric. Which is big news. Some are going to love the idea, some are going to dislike it – you can probably guess which side of the fence Electrifying sits.
The basics are that there will be 2 designs; the ₤ 69,800 Macan 4 and a ₤ 95,000 grand Macan Turbo. And yes, it is odd calling a vehicle without any engine a turbo. Both are dual-motor and four-wheel drive, both get the very same usable 95kWh battery.
The Turbo is the really quick one with 635bhp and 0-62mph in 3.3 seconds, a 162-mph leading speed and 367 miles of variety. The 4 gets a 'meager' 400bhp, strikes 62 in 5.1 seconds, however a touch more range at 380 miles. So overall that's a bit more sensible.
In terms of style, the Turbo doesn't look a lot various to the 4. There are different wheels and a couple of trim pieces, and there are a couple of vents on the back bumper, however it's not night and day.
Inside, there's a 12.6-inch curved driver's information screen plus an enormous head-up display screen forecasted onto the view, then a 10.9-inch touchscreen. There's also an optional passenger screen, so that your passenger can play at being a DJ, view tv or alter the sat-nav. It's directional so you won't be tempted to take a peek while driving. But that's still a great deal of screen.
Passengers sit a bit lower than in the Macan with an engine, that makes a change for an EV as you usually sit higher since there's a battery packed under your feet. The rear bench is lower, too. Plus, there's more legroom back there, and a bigger boot, plus a frunk. It's not the most significant ever, however it's enough to manage for most people.
The huge news is that the New Macan is now a bespoke electric vehicle, with a whole brand-new skeleton of tech which will likewise sit under things like Audi's Q6 e-Tron and the brand-new A6 e-Tron, and it has plenty of good news, particularly around charging. The 800-volt architecture will permit an optimum charge rate of 270kW, giving 10-80% charge in just over 20 minutes on a big enough charger. Porsche reckons 60 miles of variety every 4 minutes.
The Macan can likewise bank charge – basically splitting the battery into two parts for 400-volt charging stations – which means more effective charging and better heat management. And do not forget, that time invested at the charger is really putting in good range since it's effective – the official figures are 380 miles for the Macan 4 and 367 for the Turbo. That's 4.2 miles per kWh for the Macan 4 – and anything over 4 is respectable for this class of cars and truck.
