Welcome back to RBR and the first #Porsche series production model to convert to full EV - The all new #PorscheMacan!

There is a second one coming soon, with the Boxster EV, and this arrives just before the significant update to the Taycan that’s also releasing this year.

Today I’ll be giving you a first look at the first two models, the #Macan Turbo and the Macan 4 entry level car. We’ll check out all the design both outside, and with the stunning new gen interior.

But more importantly, some answers to the important questions: how much of the architecture is shared with taycan, what’s the range like, and how much do these two cars cost?

Having sold almost a million units in its lifetime, Porsche hedging their bets on their top seller doing the same as a BEV car. Pricing, more reasonable than I first expected! Macan 4 stats in the UK at 69k, and the Turbo at 95K. 83k euros or 114 euros.

The car is based on the new Premium Platform Electric (PPE) with the all new 800-volt architecture, used by Porsche for the first time in the new Macan — and shared with other VAG group companies. Just like the previous Macan then!

Design is striking - It’s longer by 4 inches, slightly wider and around the same height with a Drag coefficient of just .25c. Makes it look wider! Bonnet has a shallow pitch, and heightened shoulders. Really starts to remind you of other super SUVs like the Urus. The huge wheels of 22 inches really help too, with the stance

Front end sees taycan style lights, but there’s a second set under those - think bmw 7 series, or the newer Audi cars. Top lights are your DRLs, and the lights below are your main lamps where matrix lights are an option now too.

Side has a lot of contrast to break up, what is a lot more bulk including the typical Macan side blade - Rear is interesting and better than Taycan I think. Light bar is thick and 3d with the Porsche logo inside. Badges on the turbo are finished in a new colour turbonite grey, as first started by Panamera!

Llike taycan, along with the 540 litres boot we also get a frunk with more storage, with 84 litres, so in total 127 more than the old Macan.

Performance is strong. We have a lithium-ion battery of 100 kWh, of which up to 95 kWh is used. Both cars are Standard all wheel drive, with two PSM electric motors, and the output is:

Macan 4 408PS - 5.1 secs
Range: 613 km/381 miles

Macan Turbo 639PS - 3.3 secs
Range: 591 km/367miles

Impressive vs Taycan, but only a future drive will show how accurate this is!

Charging wise, it can charge up to 270kw, so it can go 10 - 80% in 21 mins. What happens at a 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 — clever!

Steel suspension as standard, and Air suspension as an option - Air comes with PASM with a new two valve damping tech as standard and it can be optioned with the steels. And finally we have rear axle steering of 5 degrees.

So pretty much in line with all recent Porsches, but a good deal more miles than we’ve had in Taycan. The other thing in line with other Porsches is the interior!

The Three screen concept we’ve seeing all new porsches of late. No surprises but a big welcome for Macan customers, and those looking for a higher end experience.

So an attractive addition to the Porsche family, and EV market - comes at an interesting time when interest and values of EVs are plummeting. Looking forward to the drive to see if Porsches new baby has what it takes to reverse the trend!
