The fully electric Porsche Macan has received five stars in its Euro NCAP test. The four-door sports car impressed with top scores in all test disciplines. To ensure the high safety level of its vehicles, Porsche is constantly developing and testing new assistance systems, exceeding what is required by law.
With five stars, the new, all-electric Porsche Macan has achieved the best possible overall rating in the Euro NCAP. In the Euro NCAP test, the Macan has proven to be one of the safest models in 2024. Around 150 developers, engineers and testers were involved in the development and integration of the safety assistants in the new Macan in a development process that spanned three years.
Noteworthy new safety technology included an emergency brake assist system that uses the front camera, centre radar and corner radars to expand the car’s field of view. All of this when only a front camera would have passed the test.
Other safety highlights on the new Macan included the ‘lane departure warning’, ‘lane change assistant, ‘exist warning system’ and ‘driver break recommendation’ just to name a few.
During the Euro NCAP tests, the vehicles spend around six to eight weeks on the test track, in the laboratory and on the road. Four out of six test vehicles are destroyed in crash tests. The safety assistants are tested in high-precision, robot-assisted driving tests. Here, the Macan achieved an impressive value of 78 percent. Euro NCAP rates the protection of vulnerable road users at 83 percent, and the protection of occupants and children at 90 percent each.
