The Macan will have waited almost ten years to be eligible for a second generation. It must be said that the evolution of the market has led to a radical decision: that of completely rethinking it and converting it to fully electric. If the brand is already announcing sporting performances, it is appropriate to check with this first static presentation its size, its interior space, its practical aspects, its battery capacities and its autonomy.

Video presentation (2024) – Porsche Macan: The new 100% electric model is revealed!
Compared to its predecessor, the second work of Porsche’s family SUV measures 5 cm in length over a total of 4.78 m and a distance of 8.6 cm between the two axles. Enough to increase the space on board a little, but above all to accommodate a large battery with 100 kWh gross in the floor. The Macan also increases in width by 2 cm, but the height remains at 1.62 m.
The more sloping rear window lengthens the Macan by 5 cm overall and by 8.6 cm between the axles. Like a coupe, the Porsche SUV has frameless side windows.
At the front, the Macan is inspired by the latest in-house productions and has a 12.6-inch arched instrumentation and a 10.9-inch multimedia system, which can be duplicated in front of the passenger at an additional cost to give him the opportunity to do so In particular, navigate the navigation and audio menus or watch videos on sharing platforms.
The decidedly austere, straightforward and refined design is here brightened a little by the two-tone color and the luminous atmosphere.
In addition to this XXL digital panel, the Macan will also offer an exclusive head-up vision system that displays information through the windshield at a virtual depth of 10 m and at a width of 2.20 m, in particular the arrows of the GPS. If the modern and sophisticated presentation seduces, the finish blows hot and cold with soft and soft materials at eye level but simple and scratch-prone hard plastics on the lower parts. The pursuit of lower weight for maximum autonomy is to be expected at this price…
The seats guarantee a comfortable hold that we can try out dynamically. Legroom remains just right, while the tunnel and center console take up too much space.
At the back, the cut profile doesn’t require you to bend your back when getting in, but the seats are a little too low to properly support the thighs, while the space at the knees remains just right for tall people, despite the announced improved dimensions. In addition, the one-piece front seat backrests somewhat restrict the passengers’ field of vision and the steep middle seat, which is blocked by a tunnel at foot height, can only be used in an emergency. Nevertheless, the atmosphere remains pleasant and the frameless side windows still work when the doors are opened.

When it comes to loading volume, the Macan already reports a respectable figure of 540 liters in the rear. A good surprise considering that an 84-liter front trunk is also provided, especially to separate the charging cables from the luggage.
Not only is the volume in the rear right, lowering the backrests also creates an almost flat floor. The 84 liter front compartment offers space in particular for charging cables.
Efficient and autonomous
Like Porsche, the first in-house electric SUV also impresses with performance at the highest level. Of course, we don’t have to wait for the mechanical symphonies of the previous work, but the performances should partially compensate for this. The entry-level version of the Macan 4 already produces 408 hp and 650 Nm of torque for acceleration to 100 km/h in 5 seconds1.
The “Turbo” version, on the other hand, produces 639 hp and 1,130 Nm of torque thanks to a more powerful rear engine. Enough to go from 0 to 100 km/h in 3s3. Another advantage of this top model: traction is enhanced by an electronic rear axle differential lock, while the compromise between comfort and body support is achieved by a controlled two-chamber air suspension.
Note that it will also be possible to opt for new rear wheel steering to improve maneuverability and agility in tight corners. Good news considering the wheelbase is… 2.89m!
Regardless of the version chosen, the 570 kg battery offers a usable capacity of 95 kWh. Enough to ensure a maximum range of 613 km for the Macan 4 and 591 km for the Turbo version, using an interesting drag coefficient of 0.25. In addition, the maximum charging power of 270 kW at the fast DC terminals should enable the battery to be charged from 10 to 80% in just over 20 minutes.
A priori, this Porsche Macan should appeal to fans of powerful and technologically advanced electric family SUVs, at least the wealthiest ones, with prices starting from 86,439 euros for version 4 and 118,910 euros for the Turbo, but we can’t wait to try it out. in the first half of the year to make a final statement on its overall performance…
