Porsche has expanded its Macan Electric SUV offering to include two new models in India. The electric performance SUV, introduced in January this year only in the Turbo EV configuration, is now available in the standard Macan Electric and Macan 4S Electric variants. The standard model carries a price tag of Rs 1.22 crore, while the 4S costs Rs 1.39 crore. For the uninitiated, the top-of-the-line Macan Turbo Electric retails for Rs 1.69 crore. All mentioned prices are ex-showroom figures. The bookings for the entire Macan range are already underway in India.
The starting price of the new Macan Electric is around Rs 26 lakh higher than that of the petrol-powered Macan. The 4S version fills the void between the Standard and Turbo models, while the new entry-level model is available with rear-wheel drive exclusively. The electronically controlled Porsche Traction Management (ePTM) system in the 4S allows power to be distributed between the front and back axles about five times faster than with a conventional all-wheel-drive system.

Porsche Macan EV: Power Figures
Power for the base Porsche Macan Electric RWD is provided by a single electric motor situated on the rear axle and a 100kWh battery pack. The motor comes from the Macan 4, and produces 335bhp, up to 355bhp in Launch Control mode. The peak torque stands at 563Nm. The Macan EV can accelerate from 0 to 100km/h in 5.7 seconds and reach a top speed of 220km/h. Compared to the 4S, the standard RWD variant is around 110 kg less, making it significantly more efficient, with a range of up to 641 km on a single charge.
Along with the electric motor positioned on the front axle, the Macan 4S gets a new rear-axle motor. When a power over-boost is used, the dual motor setup's combined output rises from 442bhp to 509bhp. The 4S comes with Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) electronic damping management as standard. With Launch Control, the SUV can accelerate from 0 to 100km/h in 4.1 seconds. The Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus), the rear-axle steering, and the adaptive air suspension with a levelling system and height adjustment all contribute to the chassis' increased optimisation. According to Porsche, a fast charging system can charge the model from 10% to 80% in about 21 minutes.
