Porsche India has launched the all-new, fully electric Taycan range and the latest Macan compact SUV. The company has also announced a national dealer network expansion plan off the back of its best-ever third-quarter sales performance. The latest Macan offers increased performance and sharper styling in three variants comprising the Macan, Macan S and Macan GTS along with a range of 14 colours newly available for the Macan. A new 265 PS turbocharged, four-cylinder engine gets the entry Macan to 100km/h in 6.2 seconds with a top speed of 232km/h while the GTS cuts that time down to 4.3 seconds from its 440PS, 2.9-litre V6 bi-turbo engine offering a top speed of 272 km/h. In the middle lies the Macan S which is powered by the same 2.9-litre V6 developing 380 PS that’s good for 4.6 seconds to 100 km/h.
Available in four saloon models comprising
the Taycan, Taycan 4S, Turbo and Turbo S, it’s accompanied by the exciting
Cross Turismo in 4S, Turbo and Turbo S versions that add the versatility of
extra ground clearance, Gravel Mode and 1,200 litres of rear cargo space.
The Taycan Turbo S sports saloon is the
most powerful sports car in the Porsche range generating up to 761 PS and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.8 seconds, while the entry-level Taycan
with rear-wheel drive delivers up to 484 km of range with the Performance
Battery Plus (according to WLTP).
Combining the strengths of Taycan’s
superior performance and long battery life with mild off-road versatility,
increased rear headroom, luggage space and all-wheel drive supported by height
adjustable air-suspension, the Taycan Cross Turismo is the all-rounder among
electric sports cars.
The basic retail price for the new Porsche
Macan starts at INR 8,321,000 while the all-new Taycan is available from INR
15,028,000. Inline with the official start of sale for both new models, Porsche
India is eyeing a strong annual sales performance exceeding results from
previous years.
