First Macan with rear-axle steering and two-valve dampers

Porsche developed the Macan with a keen focus on quintessential Porsche driving dynamics and a characteristic steering feel. “Thanks to its particularly sporty seat position and low centre of gravity, as well as its impressive driving dynamics and steering precision, the new Macan delivers a real sports car feeling,” explains Product Line Vice President Jörg Kerner.

Macan 4, Macan 4S and Macan Turbo are all-wheel drive. The two electric motors are controlled via the power electronics almost in real time. The electronically controlled Porsche Traction Management (ePTM) operates about five times faster than a conventional all-wheel drive system and can respond to slip within 10 milliseconds.

In addition, the all-wheel drive distribution is governed by the selected driving programme. Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus), an electronically controlled differential lock on the rear axle, also contributes to the traction, driving stability and lateral dynamics of the Macan Turbo.

Macan models with air suspension are, as standard, equipped with the PASM (Porsche Active Suspension Management) electronic damping control, which can also be added to the steel spring suspension. PASM now also features shock absorbers with two-valve technology. Thanks to the more expansive damper map, this results in a wider spectrum of comfort and performance. This makes the differences between the driving modes even more tangible.

For the first time, the Macan has optional rear-axle steering, with a maximum steering angle of five degrees. This enables a compact turning circle, reduced by one metre to 11.1 metres, in urban traffic and when manoeuvring. It also enables exceptional driving stability at higher speeds, assisted by the consistent and precise front-axle steering for which the brand is known.

Additional standard options are available for would-be Macan owners in Malaysia, including features such as Power Steering Plus, electrically-opening charging cover, Surround View incl. Active Parking Support, four-zone climate control, a 230V power outlet in the luggage compartment and a premium BOSE® Surround Sound System.

Porsche Malaysia also offers an extensive maintenance and warranty package for the first two years. The warranty on the HV battery of the Macan lasts for 8 years (or 160,000 km, whichever comes first); owners may also opt to purchase extended warranties from Porsche Malaysia for up to 15 years for their cars.

Christopher Hunter, Chief Executive Officer of Sime Darby Auto Performance said, “We are thrilled to introduce the new all-electric Macan in Malaysia. The Macan has long been a popular model since its debut, and we’re excited to begin delivering the all-new second-generation model to our customers. Customer response has been overwhelmingly positive, with strong demand. The Macan is now also available for test drives at all Porsche Centres, and we can’t wait to see this outstanding electric SUV cruising on the roads across Malaysia.”

Remmy Ng, Head of Region, Porsche Asia Pacific shared, “2024 has been a milestone year for Porsche, and Malaysia underscores its important role in the Southeast Asian region with highlights such as exporting the first Malaysian-assembled Cayenne S E-Hybrid Coupé to Thailand and opening a new charging hub in Genting Highlands in partnership with Shell. Now, we round up the year with another spectacular model launch for the new and all-electric Macan, supporting Malaysia’s growing enthusiasm for electric mobility with a compelling SUV offer.”

The range-topping model is the Macan Turbo Electric with up to 470 kW (639 PS) of overboost power and a maximum torque of 1,130 Nm, guaranteeing excellent E-Performance with a 0-100 km/h in just 3.3 seconds and a top speed of 260 km/h.

The battery on all variants of the Macan can be charged from 10 to 80 per cent within approximately 21 minutes at a suitable fast-charging station. At 400-volt charging stations, a switch in the battery enables simultaneous twin-bank charging by effectively splitting the 800-volt battery into two batteries, each with a rated voltage of 400 volts.

This results in particularly efficient charging at up to 135 kW. AC charging at up to 11 kW is possible at household wall boxes. While driving, energy can be recuperated via the electric motors. The all-wheel drive models can achieve up to 240 kW, while the Macan has a maximum recuperation power of 200 kW.

Short overhangs combine with a wheelbase 86 mm longer than the previous model (2,893 mm) for a sporty stance. The shallow pitch of the bonnet and the strongly pronounced front wings give the entry-level SUV, which is 4,784 mm long, 1,938 mm wide and 1,623 mm high, a dynamic appearance even when it’s stationary.

The front lights are split into two parts: the flat upper light units with four-point daytime running lights are embedded in the wings and emphasise the width of the car. The main headlight modules, with optional matrix LED technology, are positioned slightly lower in the front end.

The adapted geometry of the front bumper increases the approach angle to up to 17.4 degrees, depending on the model and air suspension configured. In combination with the adaptive air suspension, the off-road design package also increases the ground clearance by 10 mm to 195 mm when in the ‘Normal’ setting.

Thanks to the Porsche Active Aerodynamics (PAA) with active and passive elements, and a drag coefficient of 0.25, the new Macan is one of the most streamlined SUVs on the market – with positive effects on range and energy consumption. The PAA system includes the adaptive rear spoiler and active cooling flaps on the front air intakes. Air curtains below the headlight module, the low-slung front end, and flexible covers on the fully sealed underbody optimise the air flow. At the rear, Gurney flaps and the diffuser blade increase aerodynamic efficiency.

Kuala Lumpur 30th November 2024 – Porsche Malaysia, represented by Sime Darby Auto Performance, has officially launched the new and highly-anticipated all-electric Porsche Macan in Malaysia. Launched against the backdrop of the magnificent Kuala Lumpur skyline, the new Macan is available for purchase starting today, with prices from RM 430,000 for the single-motor variant.

Since its global premiere, the new Macan has garnered significant attention for its progressive, timeless design, characteristic Porsche performance, long-distance range and with real everyday usability. The first all-electric SUV from Porsche aims to completely fulfil the requirements of Porsche customers who wish to drive an SUV.

New PPE with 800V architecture, four models to choose from

All variants of the new Macan are built on the new Premium Platform Electric (PPE), featuring 800-volt architecture and a high-voltage lithium-ion battery in the underbody with a gross capacity of 100 kWh. 95 kWh of this battery content can be actively used.

The new Macan Electric with rear-wheel drive is the new entry point to the all-electric SUV model series. When Launch Control is used, it delivers up to 265 kW (360 PS), but it is also extremely efficient and offers a combined WLTP range of up to 641 km.

In the middle segment, the all-wheel drive Macan 4 Electric produces up to 300 kW (408 PS) of overboost power with Launch Control, while the new Macan 4S Electric produces up to 380 kW (516 PS) under the same circumstances and is positioned at the higher end of the model range.

Sporty proportions and coupé-like lines

Thanks to the sharper proportions and Porsche Design DNA, the new Macan models have a striking, purposeful appearance. “With the all-electric Macan, we are presenting the first Porsche we are making electric that comes from an established product identity,” says Michael Mauer, Vice President Style Porsche.

“The new Macan is clearly recognisable by its brand identity as part of the Porsche product family. The famous Porsche proportions have been further developed and optimally adapted to the challenges of an electric vehicle. This has further heightened the sporty, modern and dynamic appearance of the Macan. The Macan remains the sports car in its segment, even in electric form,” Mr. Mauer continued.

The characteristic Porsche flyline forms a coherent whole with the shallow-raked rear window. In combination with the frameless doors and characteristic side blades, the result is a dynamic-looking design. Strongly pronounced shoulders give the rear a muscular look. The Porsche logo now sits in the centre of the sculptural 3D light strip.

An optional off-road design package is available for all models, further improving the everyday usability of the Macan. Rough dirt tracks and particularly steep climbs and descents can be mastered even more easily than before.

At the same time, large windows give a light and airy feel to the interior space. In addition to the modern digital user interfaces, there are also select analogue control elements – for example, on the air vents and the air conditioning controls.

An LED light strip is integrated into the thoughtfully designed trim strip of the cockpit and doors. It acts as both ambient lighting and a communication light. Depending on the situation, it provides information or warnings – such as for greetings, charging processes or in conjunction with the driver assistance systems. The equipment in the new Macan enables a high degree of customisation.

Porsche also aims to use more ecological materials in its cars. A proportion of such materials is used in selected parts in the interior of the all-electric Macan.

The new-generation infotainment system is based on Android Automotive OS. Included as standard, Porsche Communication Management (PCM) in the new Macan takes computing performance to a new level. The intelligent Voice Pilot feature executes voice commands at lightning speed and provides useful assistance, including finding the right route with optimal charging stops. In the new Porsche App Centre, passengers can access popular apps from third-party providers and install them directly in the new Macan.

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 litres (cargo mode). In addition, there is the ‘frunk’, a second luggage compartment under the bonnet with a capacity of 84 litres. This amounts to 136 litres more than the previous model. If the rear seat backrest is folded down completely, the rear luggage compartment capacity increases to up to 1,348 litres.

Depending on the model and equipment fitted, the driver and front passenger now sit up to 28 mm lower than before, while the rear passengers sit up to 15 mm lower with increased legroom.

The interior is unmistakably Porsche: the width of the cockpit is emphasised by an integrated black panel. The rising design of the centre console heightens the impression of a low and performance-focused position in the vehicle.

Driver experience: high computing power and connectivity

With the electrification of the Macan, Porsche has introduced a completely new display and control system into its successful SUV model. The Porsche Driver Experience offers a mix of digital and analogue elements. These include an instrument cluster with a 12.6-inch curved display, a 10.9-inch central display, a 10.9-inch passenger display, a head-up display with augmented reality technology, and ambient lighting with a communication light.

Porsche has once again completely upgraded the design of the Driver Experience for all Macan models. It now comprises a welcome animation, an even more modern look and feel, and the new Themes app, which can be used to adjust the background colour of the displays and the ambient lighting to match the exterior colour, with 12 colours to choose from.
