Porsche Macan EV first all-electric SUV launched. Porsche decided to release its second generation edition, an electric SUV after the Macan was introduced ten years ago. Maintaining its performance and design ethos, the Macan EV increases range over a longer distance while meeting the needs of Porsche buyers seeking an SUV.
The Macan 4 and Macan Turbo are the two trim levels that Porsche has introduced for the new e-SUV. Starting at Rs 1.65 crore, the Macan Turbo is available in India. Orders can be placed at this time, and deliveries are set to begin in the second half of the year.
Porsche Macan EV’s Design
A measurement of 4,784 mm by 1,938 mm by 1,622 mm is given for the Macan EV. It is 86 mm longer than the previous model, with a base wheelbase of 2,893 mm. It is among the world’s most aerodynamic SUVs thanks to its 0.25 drag coefficient, which maximizes power and range.
The Macan EV shares many of the same features as the internal combustion engine version, but it also has unique four-point daytime running lights that are positioned slightly lower in the front bumper thanks to the split headlight design. Frameless doors and an LED-connected light are still features of it.

The Porsche Driver Experience now includes a head-up display with augmented reality technology and virtual navigation arrows as an optional feature. The infotainment system is based on the Android Automotive Operating System.
