Porsche Macan electric/Porsche
In 2023, Porsche reported last month, it sold 320,221 new cars, an increase of 3%.
Although sales of the 911 jumped 24% to an all-time high of 50,146 cars, the Taycan electric sedan added another 40,629 units, the Panamera settled for 34,020 cars and the 718 Boxster and Cayman only sold 20,518 roadsters and coupes, the Cayenne brought home the money ( 87,553) which overtook the cheaper Macan in photo finish (87,355).
Now, precisely in a period of slowing electric sales in the world, delays in launches and cancellation of projects, Porsche is launching the second generation of the Macan, which will be completely electric.
The Tycoon sales proved that there are enough customers for Porsche who stop at gas stations just to fill the tires with air, and in any case, in the development times of the automobile industry, this is the result of decisions made as far back as the last decade.
Porsche will indeed continue to produce the second generation gasoline Macan for markets such as the US and China, but as we reported, the new cyber regulations of the European Union changed its plans to sell it at the same time as the electric one in Europe and here.
The new Macan.
Maintains the family/Porsche design
Although he gave up the pair of exhausts, the Macan 2.0 certainly looks like the Macan 1.0, only it is significantly more aerodynamic: 0.25 cd instead of 0.35 in the second generation Macan.
As with the first generation that shared its platform with the Audi 5Q, the new Macan also inaugurates a new platform, this time electric, which will be used by Audi for the new Q6 crossover and the new A6.
It's called PPE, and because of the technological complexity, especially the endless amounts of lines of code, the launch of the Macan was postponed from last year, and the Q6 is also behind schedule.
The dimensions have increased significantly, with 4.78 meters in length, 1.94 meters in width, 1.62 meters in height and a wheelbase of 2.89 meters, almost like the previous Cayenne.
And still with five seats, although the first Porsche crossover with seven seats, based on the same platform, will be launched to the delight of Americans and Emiratis, and to the dismay of long-time fans of the brand, in 2027.
The rear trunk has a volume of 540 liters, and there is also a front one with 84 liters.

The cabin is very similar to that of the Cayenne, with a central 10.9-inch multimedia screen, an option for the same screen as the passenger, and a 12.3-inch dashboard for the driver.
There is also an overhead display with augmented reality technologies.
Most of the operation is done from the screens, but Porsche also kept a few physical operation buttons.
Performence?
The base Macan has 408 hp and 66 lb-ft.
It needed 5.2 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h and reaches 220 km/h.
The 100 kWh battery provides an official combined range of 613 km.
The Macan Turbo - Porsche continues to brand the powerful electric models this way even without a compressor to improve performance - already has 639 hp, 115 kgm, 3.3 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h and a maximum speed of 260 km/h.
propulsion?
whatever you choose.
Both models come with a front and rear engine, and can provide rear or dual drive for the driver's choice.
There is an option for rear steering (up to 5 degrees) and air suspension comes as standard.
Fast charging is possible up to a rate of 270 kW, which should allow filling from 20 to 80 percent in 21 minutes with supporting chargers.
The recharging during the journey is carried out at a high rate of up to 240 kW, more than 2 times that of other luxury trams, in order to use as much of the braking energy as possible even during sporty driving.

In Israel last year, Orchid Sport Krass sold 245 Porsche models, in somewhat different proportions than the rest of the world: although the Cayenne was the best-selling model in Israel as well, with 63 units, the 718 models (52 units) surpassed the 911 with 46. The outgoing Macan sold 45 units, Tiken added 29 and Panamera closes the list with another 10 units.
The new Macan will arrive in Israel in the third quarter of this year, and unlike the other importers Orchid do not keep the prices close to the chest until the launch, and report that the Macan 4 will cost from NIS 665,000 and the Turbo from NIS 930,000.
Today, basic gasoline costs NIS 630,000.
