A remarkable chapter in Porsche’s legacy revealed on October 10, as the highly anticipated all-electric Macan and Taycan models made their debut at an elegant event in Abu Dhabi. The celebration, infused with luxury and innovation, brought together enthusiasts and industry professionals for an unforgettable evening.
Held at the exclusive ADNEC Marina Hall, the event signified a turning point for Porsche’s presence in the region, highlighting a bold vision for electric mobility.

These flagship models epitomize the perfect blend of pioneering engineering and sleek design, meeting the escalating demand for eco-friendly luxury transportation in Abu Dhabi and Al Ain.
The Macan redefines expectations for electric SUVs, delivering powerful performance without compromising everyday usability. Offering powertrains of up to 470 kW (639 PS), the Macan Turbo sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.3 seconds, showcasing Porsche’s ability to combine speed and efficiency.
For drivers seeking a less intense option, the Macan 4 delivers 300 kW (408 PS) and accelerates to 100 km/h in 5.2 seconds, providing an excellent balance between performance and practicality. The Macan’s new Premium Platform Electric (PPE) architecture integrates 800-volt technology, ensuring rapid charging and extended range.
With a single charge, the Macan 4 can travel up to 612 km, while the Turbo version offers a range of 590 km—perfect for long-distance journeys with minimal charging interruptions. Equipped with 270 kW fast-charging capabilities, the Macan recharges from 10% to 80% in just 21 minutes. This feature allows drivers to enjoy seamless journeys without frequent charging stops, emphasizing Porsche’s commitment to both convenience and performance.
Retaining its sporty DNA, the electric Macan introduces sharper proportions and a sleek, coupe-inspired silhouette that seamlessly aligns with Porsche’s design heritage. The refined exterior reflects both tradition and the shift toward a more sustainable future.
Inside, the cabin offers luxury infused with technology, featuring a 12.6-inch curved instrument cluster and a 10.9-inch central display. Passengers can also access a dedicated 10.9-inch screen, enhancing the in-car experience with entertainment and customization options, while ambient lighting and eco-friendly materials highlight the brand’s sustainable ethos.
Driving dynamics remain a priority in the Macan, with rear-axle steering enhancing agility and stability. The advanced Porsche Traction Management (ePTM) system and active aerodynamics further refine handling, ensuring that even this electric SUV delivers the thrill of a sports car.
Porsche’s latest Taycan models, also revealed at the event, redefine electric sports cars by blending exhilarating performance with sustainable technology. The new lineup—including the Taycan, Taycan 4S, and Taycan Turbo—invites drivers to experience heightened driving pleasure through precision engineering.
Refinements to the Taycan have resulted in faster acceleration and extended range. The base model reaches 100 km/h in 4.8 seconds, while the Turbo S achieves the same in just 2.4 seconds. A new push-to-pass function unleashes an extra 70 kW of power, adding excitement to every drive.
The updated Taycan models now offer an increased range, with the base model capable of covering up to 678 km per charge—a 35% improvement over previous versions. City driving range extends up to 821 km, demonstrating its versatility across various conditions.
Rapid charging is another highlight, with the Taycan’s 800-volt system supporting 320 kW charging. Drivers can recharge from 10% to 80% in just 18 minutes, minimizing downtime and maximizing time on the road.
Depending on the model, the Taycan provides between 474 and 678 km of range, ensuring seamless long-distance travel without frequent charging stops. Urban journeys also benefit from enhanced range, making the Taycan a practical choice for city dwellers.
The Taycan’s design carries Porsche’s timeless aesthetic, with a low-slung profile, sleek surfaces, and distinctive proportions. New front and rear styling elements enhance its athletic stance, while illuminated rear light strips add a modern touch.
Inside, the Taycan offers a driver-focused cabin with a 12.6-inch instrument cluster and a 10.9-inch central touchscreen. Passengers also have access to their own display, ensuring an engaging experience for everyone onboard. Sustainable materials, adaptive air suspension, and wireless charging reflect Porsche’s commitment to luxury with a conscience.
Ali & Sons is complementing this electric transition by installing 175 kW DC chargers at key locations throughout Abu Dhabi and Al Ain, including Yas Marina Circuit, hotels, and shopping centers. These chargers will support both Porsche customers and other electric vehicle owners, further integrating sustainable mobility into everyday life.
