自 2014 年以来，第一代 Macan 在全球销售了 80 万辆，保时捷如今以紧凑型全电动 SUV 的形式为其最畅销的车型注入了新的活力。来认识一下重生的保时捷 Macan，现在由电池供电。 

已经很久了。在过去的几年里，保时捷工程师一直在沙漠、北欧的严冬以及公共道路和赛道上驾驶 Macan 原型车，仅测试就行驶了超过 210 万英里。他们似乎带着大相机到处旅行，确保爱好者们知道正在发生的事情。对于保时捷和大众汽车集团来说，将如此重要的车型转变为电动汽车是一项重大举措，也是对其在未来几年陷入 困境的全电动计划的真正考验。

保时捷 Macan 对于大众集团来说是一款非常重要的电动汽车

Macan 多年来一直是保时捷销量的推动者。它现在推出了一种名为高级电动平台（PPE）的新型专用大众汽车集团电动汽车架构，获得了更大的动力和续航里程，并提供了对公司未来至关重要的新一代软件。

这款第二代车型的正式名称为 Macan Electric，将与即将停产的车型共存，并且该车将在一段时间内保留内燃动力。“只要客户需求需要和/或法规允许，汽油动力 Macan 将继续以其当前形式销售。我们很高兴能够在可预见的未来为我们的客户提供动力总成的选择，”保时捷发言人告诉 InsideEVs。https://cdn.motor1.com/images/mgl/jl6Qpg/s1/porsche-macan-2024.jpg

https://cdn.motor1.com/images/mgl/koWrXP/s1/porsche-macan-2024.jpg对于该品牌来说，这是一款在关键时刻推出的重要电动汽车。它不仅首次亮相了大众集团的高级电动平台（PPE）架构，而且也是在大众集团软件部门Cariad 陷入麻烦之后，特斯拉和几家中国企业等公司凭借软件定义的电动汽车取得了飞跃式发展。 。 

设计和尺寸

Macan Electric 的尺寸为 188.4 英寸长、84.7 英寸宽（带后视镜）和 63.8 英寸高，虽然高度保持不变，但比第一代车型稍长和更宽。轴距（113.9英寸）比之前的车型长了3.4英寸，导致前后悬垂较短，以容纳落地式锂离子电池。https://cdn.motor1.com/images/mgl/vxpzZA/s1/porsche-macan-2024.jpg

照片中显得别致又运动。四点日行灯让人想起 Taycan，而矩阵 LED 灯是可选的，这是一种高度复杂的设置，可以调暗或停用单个 LED，以避免眩目其他驾驶员，同时仍然照亮前方的道路。

它的风阻系数非常低，为 0.25，仅略高于 Taycan 的0.22 Cd，几乎与奥迪 e-tron GT 的 0.24 Cd 一样好。保时捷声称，使这一切成为可能的是几个主动元件：自适应后扰流板、前进气口上的主动冷却瓣、前灯模块下方的气帘以及总体空气动力学设计。https://cdn.motor1.com/images/mgl/jl6JEy/s1/porsche-macan-2024.jpg

其他有趣的设计元素包括无框车门、抛光的肩线以及从第一代 Macan 继承的典型轿跑车式车顶线。

表现

这款电动 SUV 将提供两种型号：Macan 4 和 Turbo，均配备双电机。Macan 4 可产生 402 马力和 479 磅英尺的扭矩，而 Turbo 则可产生 630 马力和 833 磅英尺的扭矩。这些数字足以与所有汽油动力 Macan 车型相媲美。（与 Taycan 一样，“Turbo”这个名字一定指的是速度和保时捷的传统，因为它显然没有涡轮增压器。）

Macan 4 从零加速到每小时 62 英里只需 5.2 秒，而 Turbo 弹弓仅需 3.3 秒。最高时速分别限制为 137 英里/小时和 161 英里/小时。https://cdn.motor1.com/images/mgl/koWrNB/s1/porsche-macan-2024.jpg

InsideEVs去年在加利福尼亚州审查了接近量产的原型机，给我们留下了深刻的印象。当时，撰稿人蒂姆·史蒂文斯 (Tim Stevens) 写道：“将 Macan 切换到运动模式会立即带来明显的性格变化。油门响应立即变得敏锐，悬架也不再那么软，开始变得真实。” 他补充道，“我推得越用力，它的反应就越好，当我将模式转盘转到“运动+”时，它真的变得活跃起来。”https://cdn.motor1.com/images/mgl/6ZNBQl/s1/porsche-macan-2024.jpg

电池和续航里程

实现这一性能的是 95 千瓦时的可用电池容量（总计 100 千瓦时），它仅比 Taycan 上的可选 Performance Battery Plus（93.4 千瓦时）稍大，但比其标准产品（79.2 千瓦时）大得多。得益于 800 伏架构，它可以以 270 千瓦的功率充电，并且能够在 21 分钟内增加 10-80% 的电量（假设它插入足够快的 DCFC）。https://cdn.motor1.com/images/mgl/nAmEYj/s1/porsche-macan-2024.jpg

Macan 4 的电池续航里程可达 381 英里，Turbo 的续航里程可达 367 英里，但这是在欧洲 WLTP 循环中，比美国 EPA 的评级稍微乐观一些，美国 WLTP 评级估计为22%高于 EPA 评级，因此按照这一标准，预计普通版的美国续航里程约为 300 英里，略低于 Turbo 版。

这些数字仍然比 Taycan 好得多，后者的EPA 评级范围在 200-246 英里之间，具体取决于变体和车型年份。

新一代软件

新款 Macan 最多可配置三个屏幕：独立式 12.6 英寸曲面仪表盘、10.9 英寸中央显示屏以及可选的 10.9 英寸副驾驶屏幕。另外一个新功能是采用增强现实技术的平视显示器。

保时捷表示，导航箭头等 AR 元素将在视觉上进行整合，图像将“在 32.8 英尺的距离处向驾驶员显示，相当于 87 英寸显示屏的尺寸”。https://cdn.motor1.com/images/mgl/qkMjzR/s1/porsche-macan-2024.jpg

新一代信息娱乐系统基于 Android Automotive OS（我们知道该操作系统在沃尔沃中运行良好），并且还与 Apple Car Play 兼容。

我们必须拭目以待，看看新款 Macan 上的用户界面有多干净、反应灵敏，而软件体验无疑是最终产品的早期评论中值得关注的地方。在用户报告部分大众电动汽车系统冻结和触摸屏无响应后，大众集团的软件部门 Cariad 于 2023 年进行了全面重组（包括裁员 2,000 人）。这推迟了Cariad 的 E3 1.2 软件平台以及 Macan 和相关奥迪 Q6 e-tron 的开发，这两款车都是大众集团的关键车型。

底盘技术

可选的后桥转向系统使其转弯半径为 36.4 英尺，几乎与丰田卡罗拉一样好。尽管我们还不知道这个功能会让您损失多少。不过，对于驾驶爱好者来说，似乎还是值得的。

正如史蒂文斯在他的评论中所说，“[后转向系统]搭配更锐利的可变转向比，让汽车感觉几乎太渴望到达顶点，这种感觉完全让人上瘾。”https://cdn.motor1.com/images/mgl/G3WNGE/s1/porsche-macan-2024.jpg

价格和供货情况

两种型号均可在美国订购。Macan 4 的建议零售价为 78,800 美元，Macan Turbo 的售价为 105,300 美元（不包括运费和手续费）。它将与 Panamera 和汽油动力 Macan 一起在德国莱比锡保时捷工厂生产。

美国交付将于 2024 年下半年开始，这款电动 SUV 将与 BMW iX、Genesis Electrified GV70 和梅赛德斯-奔驰 EQE SUV 等竞争对手展开竞争。https://cdn.motor1.com/images/mgl/NGjvR9/s1/porsche-macan-2024.jpg

2024 Porsche Macan: A Daring Electric Redesign With 630 HP, More Range Than Taycan

With rear-axle steering, new-generation software, and more power and range, the second-gen Macan brings plenty to the table.

Jan 25, 2024 at 7:30am ET

By: Suvrat Kothari

After selling 800,000 units of the first-generation Macan worldwide since 2014, Porsche breathes a new life into its best-selling model today in the form of a compact all-electric SUV. Meet the reborn Porsche Macan, now powered by batteries. 

It's been a long time coming. Over the past few years, Porsche engineers have been driving Macan prototypes in deserts, through extreme winter in Northern Europe, and on public roads and racetracks, covering more than 2.1 million miles in testing alone. And they seem to have traveled everywhere with big fat cameras, making sure enthusiasts know what’s in the pipeline. Turning such a crucial model into an EV is a huge move for Porsche and the Volkswagen Group—a real test of its often-troubled plan to go all-electric in the coming years. 

The Porsche Macan is a hugely important EV for the VW Group

The Macan has been Porsche's sales volume driver for years. It now debuts a new dedicated Volkswagen Group EV architecture called the Premium Platform Electric (PPE), gets more power and range, and offers a new generation of software that's crucial to the company's future.

This second-generation model, officially called the Macan Electric, will co-exist alongside its outgoing counterpart—and that car will keep internal combustion power for a bit. “The gas-powered Macan will continue to be sold in its current form as long as customer demand requires and/or regulations permit. We are happy to be able to offer our customers a choice of powertrain in this case for the foreseeable future,” a Porsche spokesperson told InsideEVs.

It’s an important EV for the brand that comes at a critical time. Not only does it debut Volkswagen Group’s Premium Platform Electric (PPE) architecture, but it also comes after several delays emerging from troubles at Cariad—VW Group’s software arm—when the likes of Tesla and several Chinese players have leaped forward with software-defined EVs. 

Design and Dimensions

The Macan Electric measures 188.4 inches long, 84.7 inches wide (with mirrors), and 63.8 inches tall, which is marginally longer and wider than the first-gen model, although the height remains identical. The wheelbase (113.9 inches) is 3.4 inches longer than the previous model, resulting in short overhangs at the front and rear to accommodate the floor-mounted lithium-ion battery.

It appears chic and athletic in pictures. The four-point DRLs are reminiscent of the Taycan, and Matrix LED lights—a highly sophisticated set-up that can dim or deactivate individual LEDs to avoid glaring other drivers while still illuminating the road ahead—are optional.

It has a remarkably low drag coefficient of 0.25—only slightly higher than the Taycan with 0.22 Cd, and almost as good as the Audi e-tron GT with 0.24 Cd. What makes this possible are several active elements: an adaptive rear spoiler, active cooling flaps on the front air intakes, air curtains below the headlight module, and a generally aerodynamic design, Porsche claims.

Other interesting design elements include frameless doors, a buffed-up shoulder line, and the characteristic coupe-like roofline which it carries over from the first-generation Macan.

Performance

The electric SUV will be available in two variants, Macan 4 and Turbo, both equipped with dual motors. The Macan 4 makes 402 horsepower and 479 pound-foot of torque, while the Turbo is good for 630 hp and 833 lb-ft. Those numbers would give all gas-powered Macan variants a run for their money. (As with the Taycan, the name "Turbo" must refer to speed and Porsche's heritage, since it obviously does not have a turbocharger.)

The Macan 4 accelerates from naught to 62 miles per hour in 5.2 seconds, while the Turbo slingshots in a neck-snapping 3.3 seconds. Top speeds are limited to 137 mph and 161 mph, respectively.

InsideEVs reviewed a near-production prototype last year in California, and we came out seriously impressed. Back then, contributor Tim Stevens wrote, “Dropping the Macan into Sport mode delivers an immediate and noticeable change in character. The throttle response immediately sharpens, and the suspension likewise stops being so soft and starts getting real.” He added, “The harder I pushed, the better it responded, really coming alive when I twisted the mode dial over to Sport Plus.”

Battery and Range

Enabling this performance is a 95-kilowatt-hour usable battery capacity (100 kWh gross)—it’s only slightly larger than the optional Performance Battery Plus (93.4 kWh) on the Taycan, but much larger than its standard offering (79.2 kWh). Thanks to 800-volt architecture, it can charge at 270 kilowatts and is capable of adding a 10-80% range in 21 minutes, assuming it gets plugged into a fast enough DCFC.

The battery can deliver a range of up to 381 miles on the Macan 4 and 367 miles on the Turbo—but that’s on the European WLTP cycle which is slightly more optimistic than the EPA ratings here in the U.S. WLTP ratings are estimated to be 22% higher than EPA ratings, so going by this measure, expect the U.S. range to be around 300 miles for the regular version and slightly below that for the Turbo.

Those figures would still be substantially better than the Taycan, whose EPA ratings range between 200-246 miles depending on the variant and model year.

New Generation Software

The new Macan can be configured to feature up to three screens: A free-standing 12.6-inch, curved gauge cluster, a 10.9-inch central display, and an optional 10.9-inch screen for the co-driver. What’s also new is the head-up display with augmented reality technology.

Porsche says AR elements such as navigation arrows will be visually integrated and the image would “appear to the driver at a distance of 32.8 feet and corresponds to the size of an 87-inch display.”

The new-generation infotainment system is based on Android Automotive OS (something we know works superbly in Volvos) and is also compatible with Apple Car Play.

We’ll have to wait and see how clean and responsive the user interface is on the new Macan, and the software experience is certainly something to look out for in early reviews of the final product. VW Group’s software division Cariad was comprehensively restructured in 2023 (including 2,000 job cuts) after users reported system freezes and unresponsive touchscreens on some VW EVs. That delayed the development of Cariad’s E3 1.2 software platform, as well as the Macan and the related Audi Q6 e-tron—both crucial cars for the VW Group.

Chassis Technology

The optional rear-axle-steering gives it a turning circle of 36.4 feet, almost as good as a Toyota Corolla. This feature will set you back by slightly over $2,000, and driving enthusiasts might find value in it. As Stevens said in his review, “[the rear steering system] is paired with an even sharper variable steering ratio to make the car feel almost too eager to get to the apex, a feeling that is utterly addictive.”

Thanks to the adaptive air suspension, the standard ground clearance of 7.2 inches can be raised to 8.8 inches. It also drives all four wheels thanks to dual motors, and Porsche's electronic traction management can respond to wheelspins in just 10 milliseconds.

Price and Availability

Both variants are available to order in the U.S. The Macan 4 starts at an MSRP of $78,800 and the Macan Turbo is priced at $105,300, excluding delivery and handling fees. It will be manufactured at Porsche Plant Leipzig in Germany, alongside the Panamera and the gas-powered Macan.

U.S. deliveries will begin in the second half of 2024, and the electric SUV will take on rivals like the BMW iX, Genesis Electrified GV70, and the Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV, to name a few.
