Porsche unveiled the new Macan in Singapore today. The sports car manufacturer’s first all-electric SUV is a completely new development with Porsche E-Performance. It has what’s claimed to be ample range for the long haul and high day-to-day use. The Macan 4 and the Macan Turbo were presented to international media at Singapore Art Week. The design team from Style Porsche worked with Marc Fornes on the event. To mark the world premiere of the Macan, the New York-based architect and artist created a sculpture incorporating Porsche design principles. The art installation will be on exhibit at the Marina Bay Garden through 11 February.
“We are taking the Macan to a completely new level – with exceptional E-Performance, the new Driver Experience, and a very impressive design,” said Oliver Blume, Chairman of the Executive Board of Porsche AG, on the occasion of the world premiere in Singapore.
The Macan 4 accelerates from a standstill to 100 km/h in 5.2 seconds, while the Macan Turbo takes just 3.3 seconds. The two models achieve top speeds of 220 and 260 km/h, respectively.
“Our aim is to offer the sportiest model in its segment with the all-electric Macan,” said Jörg Kerner, Vice President Product Line Macan. Porsche exclusively uses the latest generation of permanently-excited PSM electric motors on the front and rear axles to achieve excellent efficiency and enable optimum reproducibility of the power output. The numbers indicate top-class E-Performance: In combination with Launch Control, the Macan 4 produces up to 300 kW (408 PS, Macan 4: Electric power consumption combined (WLTP) 21.1 – 17.9 kWh/100 km; CO₂ emissions combined (WLTP) 0 g/km; Electric range combined (WLTP) 516 – 613 km; Electric range in town (WLTP) 665 – 784 km) of overboost power.
“The Macan Turbo has up to 470 kW (639 PS), Macan Turbo: Electric power consumption combined (WLTP) 20.7 – 18.8 kWh/100 km; CO₂ emissions combined (WLTP) 0 g/km; Electric range combined (WLTP) 518 – 591 km; Electric range in town (WLTP) 670 – 765 km). The maximum torque is 650 and 1130 Nm, respectively,” said Kerner.
New Electric Platform with 800-volt architecture
The electric motors draw their energy from a lithium-ion battery in the underbody, with a gross capacity of 100 kWh, of which up to 95 kWh can be actively used. The HV battery is a central component of the newly developed Premium Platform Electric (PPE) with 800-volt architecture, used by Porsche for the first time in the new Macan. The DC charging output is up to 270 kW.
The battery can be charged from 10% to 80%within ~21 minutes at a suitable fast-charging station. At 400-volt charging stations, a high-voltage switch in the battery enables bank charging by effectively splitting the 800-volt battery into two batteries, each with a rated voltage of 400 volts. This enables efficient charging, without an additional HV booster, at up to 135 kW. AC charging at up to 11 kW is possible at household wall boxes.
Up to 240 kW of energy can be recuperated via the electric motors while driving. The Integrated Power Box (IPB) also contributes to the efficiency of the new Macan models, while also saving weight and space. The innovative and compact IPB combines three components – the on-board AC charger, the high-voltage heater and the DC/DC converter. The combined WLTP range is up to 613 km in the Macan 4 and up to 591 km in the Macan Turbo.
Porsche Active Aerodynamics (PAA) with active and passive elements and a drag coefficient of 0.25, mean the Macan is one of the most streamlined SUVs on the market, with positive effects on range and power consumption. The PAA system includes the adaptive rear spoiler, active cooling flaps on the front air intakes and flexible covers on the fully sealed underbody. Air curtains below the headlight module and the low-slung front end optimize the air flow. At the rear, lateral tear-off edges and the louvred diffuser ensure aerodynamic efficiency, Porsche said.
Two Luggage Compartments and Increased Interior Space
“The new Macan is a performance-oriented SUV with a high level of practicality for everyday use, high-quality equipment and spacious configuration. Electrification has led to increased luggage space in the Macan. Depending on the model and equipment fitted, the capacity behind the rear seat bench is up to 540 liters (cargo mode). In addition, there is the ‘frunk’, a second luggage compartment under the bonnet (hood) with a capacity of 84 liters. This amounts to 136 liters more than the previous model. If the rear seat backrest is folded down completely, the rear luggage compartment capacity increases to up to 1348 liters. The maximum towing capacity of 2000 kg rounds off the highly practical qualities of the new Macan,” said Porsche.
