Porsche has launched its first rear-wheel drive (RWD) electric SUV, the Macan EV, at Rs 1.23 crore. This is an entry-level model with a significant price hike. Let’s take a look at the specifics.

The Mecan EV range starts at Rs 1.23 crore. The entry-level RWD model is priced at Rs 1.23 crore, the new 4S model starts at Rs 1.39 crore, and the Macan turbo EV has seen a price hike of Rs 4 lakh and is priced at Rs 1.69 crore. Each model is different and has different performance and features.
Macan EV: Performance
The entry-level Macan EV RWD comes with a rear-mounted electric motor that delivers 360 horsepower and 563 Nm of torque. This helps the Macan accelerate from 0 to 100 kph in just 5.7 seconds. The top speed of the Mecan is 220 kph. The other Macan 4S EV comes with two electric motors that deliver 516 horsepower and 820 Nm of torque. This model accelerates from 0 to 100 kph in less than 4 seconds and has a top speed of 240 kph.
New features and options
The Porsche Macan EV is equipped with several new features. In terms of appearance, a new color option “Slate Grey Neo” has been added, 20-inch alloy wheels are retained as an option for the Macan S, and for off-road experience, a new off-road design is provided for better ground clearance and approach angle.
Macan EV: Battery and range
All models are equipped with a powerful 100kWh battery. The Macan Turbo EV has a range of 591 kilometers, the Macan 4S EV has a range of 606 kilometers, and the entry-level model has a single-charge range of up to 641 kilometers. The range is determined by the motor power, so the Turbo EV model has a relatively low range.
Macan EV: Charging capabilities
The Macan EV has a charging capability of up to 800V on the PPE platform. With a 270kW fast charger, the battery can be charged from 10% to 80% in just 21 minutes. This entry-level fast charging stands out from other competing models on the contemporary market.
Competition and Market Position
There will be other electric SUVs in the market besides the Macan. It will have to compete with premium electric SUVs dominated by luxury and performance, such as the Mercedes EQE SUV, BMW iX, Audi Q8 e-tron, etc. Since all these electric vehicles have comparable features and price tags, the competition is more intense.
Pre-order and delivery
The Macan EV is available for pre-order now, but deliveries will start later this year. You can reserve your preferred model now on the Porsche website.
