Both the Macan 4 and Macan Turbo boast a sporty and dominant appearance, staying true to Porsche's design DNA. The sharpened proportions, flat sloping bonnet, and pronounced haunches contribute to a dynamic visual impression. The new Macan's elongated wheelbase, paired with short overhangs and sleek headlights, emphasises its sporty and modern appeal. The Porsche Active Aerodynamics (PAA) not only enhances aesthetics but also improves the SUVs' efficiency, with an impressive air resistance coefficient of 0.25.
In terms of technology, both models have undergone a complete make-over, featuring the latest generation display and operating concept, offering up to three screens. Notably, the Macan introduces a 12.6-inch curved instrument cluster and a 10.9-inch central display. A unique addition is the front passenger's optional 10.9-inch screen, allowing them to engage with infotainment and streaming content. The head-up display with augmented reality technology is an extremely exciting feature that Porsche has added, which enhances the driving experience by seamlessly integrating virtual elements like navigation arrows.
Both Macan models are equipped with air suspension and incorporate the Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) electronic damping control. Optionally available with the steel-spring suspension, the PASM now integrates dampers with two-valve technology. This enhancement broadens the spectrum between comfort and performance, accentuating the distinctions between various driving programs. For the first time in the Macan lineup, an optional rear-axle steering system has been introduced, offering a maximum steering angle of five degrees.
This innovative feature not only enables a compact turning circle of 11.1 metres in urban traffic and during manoeuvres, but also ensures exceptional driving stability at higher speeds, complemented by the consistent and precise front-axle steering characteristic of the Porsche brand.
The Macan 4 and Macan Turbo not only excel in electric performance but also showcase cutting-edge advancements in battery technology, charging capabilities, and driving dynamics, reinforcing Porsche's commitment to innovation and the electrified future of its iconic SUV lineup.
