Porsche Fremont
Porsche maintains its iconic design DNA in the electric Macan, ensuring it unmistakably embodies the essence of a sports car. The new model retains the proportions typical of a Porsche sports car while introducing sharper, more dynamic design elements inside and out. Balancing product identity and aerodynamic efficiency was a key challenge to ensure both the legacy and range of the successful Macan series.
Electric Macan's design seamlessly merges Porsche's signature style with aerodynamic efficiency. Porsche Active Aerodynamics, including an extending rear spoiler and active cooling flaps, enhances range. The flat underbody, flexible rear axle fairings, closed wheels, and optimized tire contours contribute to a drag coefficient of 0.25, making the new Macan one of the most aerodynamic SUVs, significantly impacting efficiency.
Equipped with staggered tire fitment on wheels up to 22 inches, the new Macan features a lengthened wheelbase of 2,893 mm, increased by 86 mm from its predecessor, complemented by short overhangs at the front and rear.
The headlights exhibit a distinctive two-part design, featuring a flat upper light unit with four-point daytime running lights seamlessly integrated into the wings, highlighting the car's width. Positioned slightly lower in the front end, the main headlight module offers optional matrix LED technology.
The rear boasts a muscular appearance with pronounced shoulders, while the Porsche logo takes center stage within the sculpted 3D light strip.
The Macan introduces optional rear-axle steering with a maximum angle of five degrees, providing a tight 11.1-meter turning circle for urban maneuverability and ensures stability at higher speeds, complementing the precise front-axle steering.
The electric motors derive power from a 100 kWh lithium-ion battery in the underbody, with a usable capacity of up to 95 kWh. Utilizing the innovative Premium Platform Electric (PPE) with an 800-volt architecture, the Macan introduces this technology for the first time.
Advanced permanently-excited PSM motors on front and rear axles provide over 450 kW of power with exceptional efficiency. Porsche Traction Management ensures precise torque distribution, surpassing 1,000 Nm, via Launch Control in the top model.
With a 270 kW DC charging output, the battery reaches 80% in about 21 minutes at fast-charging stations. At 400-volt stations, a high-voltage switch enables efficient bank charging, splitting the 800-volt battery for up to 135 kW charging without an extra HV booster. AC charging up to 11 kW is supported by household wall boxes.
Both Macan 4 and Turbo boast all-wheel drive. Two electric motors, controlled in real-time by power electronics, enable the electronically controlled Porsche Traction Management (ePTM) to respond to slip within 10 milliseconds—five times faster than conventional systems.
A widened cockpit is emphasized by an integrated black panel and complemented by a rising center console for a low and performance-focused feel. Large windows enhance the spacious, airy ambiance. An LED light strip in the cockpit and doors serves as both ambient lighting and a communication light.
The Porsche Driver Experience now introduces, for the first time, a head-up display with augmented reality technology. Virtual elements, including navigation arrows, seamlessly integrate into the real world, appearing to the driver at a distance of 10 meters and resembling the size of an 87-inch display.
The driver and front passenger sit up to 28 mm lower in the new Macan, depending on the model and equipment, while rear passengers enjoy increased legroom and sit up to 15 mm lower than before.
Electrification enhances Macan's storage, offering up to 540 liters behind the rear seat bench and an additional 84 liters in the 'frunk.' With the rear seat backrest folded, the capacity expands to 1,348 liters, and a maximum towing capacity of 2,000 kg adds to the new Macan's practical versatility.
