Mondo Cars Updated on 2024-02-01

After the Taycan, Porsche's second pure electric car is coming, which is the pure electric version of Macan, the new car is the first model newly developed by Porsche based on the pure electric platform PPE, a total of two models are launched, Macan 4 and Macan Turbo, both of which are equipped with dual-motor four-wheel drive systems, especially the performance of Macan Turbo.

On the basis of the appearance of the gasoline version of the Macan, the pure electric version of the Macan has undergone major changes, the most obvious change is the use of split headlight clusters and a closed front face that symbolizes the identity of the pure electric car. The upper light cluster is polygonal with four LED strips embedded in it, and the lower light cluster is pentagonal. In addition, the design of the lower light cluster of the Macan Turbo is different from that of the Macan 4, with the addition of horizontal lines. The hood of the new car is slightly raised, and with the protruding front lip, it has a more sporty look. On the side, the Macan retains the styling of the petrol version and gives sports car elements such as a streamlined roof, frameless doors and large wheels. Moreover, the Macan's door handles do not follow the crowd and are equipped with practical traditional door handles. But it does not affect at all that it brings only 0The drag coefficient of 25cd is also due to the Porsche Active Aerodynamics Package (PAA) with active and passive elements in the all-electric version of the Macan, which reduces power consumption and increases range.

The electric version of the Macan measures 4784 1938 1622 mm in length, width and height, with a wheelbase of 2893 mm. Compared to the fuel version, the length, width and height of 4126 1922 1621mm, and the wheelbase of 2807mm, have increased, plus the pure electric platform and close to 2With a wheelbase of 9 meters, the riding space in the car naturally does not have to worry about crowding. In addition, this body size is similar to that of the top-selling Tesla Model Y.

In the interior part, the pure electric version of the Macan basically continues Porsche's latest style design, and the triple screen design of the center console brings a good sense of technology, among them, 126-inch curved digital instrument cluster and 10A 9-inch central display is standard, and the co-driver's entertainment screen is optional. The all-electric version of the Macan has a new trunk with a volume of 84 liters. In addition, the all-electric version of the Macan offers a towing capacity of up to 2,000 kg for even more practicality. Level 2 intelligent driver assistance is also available, but only the Macan Turbo model is standard, and the Macan 4 model is retrofitted. The car machine is based on the Android system, without too much innovation, and obviously the sincerity is a little insufficient.

In terms of power, the pure electric version of the Macan adopts an 800V voltage platform, and its Macan 4 has a maximum power of 300kW, a maximum torque of 650Nm, and an acceleration of 5 per 100 km/h2s;The Macan Turbo has a maximum power of 470kW, a maximum torque of 1130Nm, and an acceleration of 3 per 100 km/h3s。In terms of range, the all-electric Macan uses a 100kWh battery, and the Macan 4 has a combined range of 613 km in the WLTP mode, while the Macan Turbo has a combined range of 591 km.

Surprisingly, the all-electric version of the Macan retains the performance of the Porsche, with pneumatic suspension and electronic damping control with the PASM active load adjustment system, which is standard on the Macan Turbo model, giving people the desire to drive.

Relying on Porsche's brand identity, the all-electric Macan brings a long wheelbase, a large battery, a sporty appearance and an excellent driving experience, without losing the brand's tonality. However, compared with new power brands, the intelligent configuration of the pure electric version of the Macan is obviously a bit unable to keep up with the pace of the times.
