Porsche reveals battery, range and unique heads up display of electric Macan

Back in early 2019, Porsche confirmed what many believed to be next from the luxury sports car brand, an all-electric SUV. There was going to be an electric version of its popular Porsche Macan SUV.

Nearly five years later, some details of the upcoming Macan electric SUV are finally being revealed, including battery size and range. And one of the most unique features of the new electric Porsche Macan will be its augmented reality (AR) centric heads-up display.

It will showcase key driving information in an immersive way which includes:

  • Speed-Limits
  • Navigation information
  • Directional queues
  • Auto-steer
  • Lane-following distance
  • Lane-keep Assist

All of these are shown directly on the windscreen and can be seen by the driver without turning their attention to other displays.

Speaking of the other displays, there will two standard displays. A 10.9-inch display on the dashboard that is combined with a 12.6-inch display for the driver.

Unlike many other vehicles, there is also an optional 10.9-inch passenger display which does not distract the driver. This is also seen in some models of the Taycan.

Porsche has also confirmed the battery pack which was expected to be around 100 kWh after reports last year is going to be offered on the car. This battery pack will provide up to 480 km of WLTP range.

Like the Porsche Taycan, it will be based on the 800V architecture, allowing fast-charging speeds of up to 270 kW. This means that the Taycan can be charged from 10-80% in around 22 minutes.

This will power a drivetrain that will deliver up to 444 kW (603 hp) which will make it one of the most powerful SUVs in the market. 

For comparison, the recently launched Ioniq 5 N eclipses this by delivering a dual-motor powertrain, capable of outputting 478 kW. 

Until the end of November 2023, Porsche has sold 2,746 Macan ICE vehicles in Australia, making the mid-sized SUV its most popular model. An electric Macan is bound to do well. 

More details about the release will be revealed in the coming months.
