Macan Electric Earns a Wards 10 Best Interior & UX Award

The interior of a luxury vehicle must serve as both a sanctuary and a high-performance command center. Porsche continues to master this balance, recently earning the prestigious Wards 10 Best Interiors & UX award for the Macan Electric. This recognition highlights an unwavering commitment to exceptional craftsmanship and intuitive technology.

For driving enthusiasts who demand unparalleled style and advanced connectivity, the new interior offers an environment crafted for total immersion.

Why the Macan Electric won over Wards judges

Wards judges singled out the Macan Electric for its disciplined, driver-focused design. "Crisp, clean lines and everything neatly in its place. The Macan felt like a finely tailored suit," said Wards judge Dave Zoia. "The cabin is purposely devoid of any excess, putting it spot on with the driver-focused Porsche brand."

That sense of purposeful design pairs with everyday usability. Wards judge Robin Warner pointed to thoughtful touches that ease the EV ownership experience. "For EVs, one common pain point is which side the charge port lies and how you must park to reach the plug. Not here, as there's a port on both sides," Warner said. "All in all, the Macan provided one of the most pleasant experiences we tested.”

What makes the Macan Electric interior special

The cabin centers on a display and operating concept that offers up to three screens.

·         A free-standing 12.6-inch curved instrument cluster sits ahead of the driver.

·         A 10.9-inch central display anchors the dashboard.

·         An optional 10.9-inch passenger screen lets front passengers view trip data, adjust infotainment settings, stream video, or play games while the car is moving.

Every screen feels purposeful. Nothing is added for show. That balance of beauty and function is what Porsche does best.

How the technology improves the driving experience

The standard Porsche Communication Management (PCM) system raises the bar for computing power. Ask "Hey Porsche" for directions, and the voice assistant suggests routes and charging stops almost instantly.

The new Porsche App Center lets passengers browse and install popular third-party apps directly in the vehicle. The infotainment system runs on Android Automotive OS and supports Apple CarPlay.

The optional augmented reality head-up display adds another layer. Navigation arrows appear integrated into the road ahead. The image projects at a distance of 32.8 feet and looks like an 87-inch display floating in front of you.

"Since the beginning of the Macan, it has always surprised its owners with its functionality and driving dynamics," said Timo Resch, CEO of Porsche Cars North America. "I'm delighted to see Wards acknowledge the advancements we have made in not only design and quality, but also the infotainment and the overall ease of use."
