Porsche reveals Macan EV interior with AR HUD

12 December 2023

The excitement in the automotive world is palpable as Porsche unveiled the interior, and shared more details about its highly anticipated all-electric Macan SUV. With an array of screens and some cutting-edge technology, Porsche is making sure we don’t forget about its much-delayed electric SUV.

The Macan EV, a performance SUV, has been spotted many times in prototype form over the past year. Unfortunately, plagued by VW-related delays, the electric Macan’s debut has been a rapidly moving target. Now, the automaker has finally pulled the covers off the SUV's interior, giving us a glimpse of what's to come.

Macan EV's cabin is a tech lover's dream come true. Porsche offers up to three screens and an optional heads-up display that takes things up a notch by incorporating augmented reality, transforming the windshield into a fourth display. Turn arrows and distances to vehicles in front, it's one of the largest heads-up displays on the market, stretching a whopping 87 inches.

For the driver, a 12.6-inch curved digital display takes center stage. The center infotainment screen measures 10.9 inches and boasts Full HD resolution. If you're riding shotgun, an optional passenger display of 10.9 inches let you interact with various vehicle systems, sparing the driver unnecessary distractions.

Porsche has gone all-in on infotainment, with an Android-based system that can be updated through the Porsche App Centre. There are games, a Home Assistant smartphone app, and monthly map updates to keep the navigation system sharp. And if you prefer Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, rest assured they are still part of the package.

When it eventually hits the road, the Macan EV will boast a dual-motor setup, producing approximately 600 horsepower. The energy will come from a lithium-ion battery pack with a capacity of around 100 kWh. One intriguing feature is the Macan EV's rear-wheel steering, which will improve its maneuverability at lower speeds and stability at higher speeds.

While we've been treated to a sneak peek of the Macan EV's interior and exterior, there are still many unanswered questions. Seating and storage space remain shrouded in mystery. However, Porsche promises that the Macan EV will hit the streets in early 2024, which means we won't have to wait long for more information.
