MOMS IN MOTION
The all-electric Porsche Taycan and Macan, along with the Audi Q6 e-tron, command segment-defining performance and intelligent features. And with their silent and refined electric power plants come cabins that promote wellness and serenity — much appreciated by those constantly on the move.
Of course, more benefits enhance these vehicles’ day-to-day convenience and ease of ownership. Routine maintenance for all-electric models is minimal, translating to lower costs over time.
Another key advantage is the ability to charge at home. Electric vehicle owners are spared from inconvenient and regular trips to the gas station — perfect for busy schedules. With the home charging solutions that come with every Taycan, Macan, and Q6 e-tron, the cars can be occasionally plugged in overnight and then be ready to go each morning.
Plus, these all-electric models are exempt from the number coding scheme, allowing owners to drive them any day of the week. This means daily routines need not be disrupted.
While the Taycan, Macan, and Q6 e-tron clearly reflect these advantages, each offer their own take on luxurious all-electric driving.
Porsche Taycan
Thanks to a new battery, the Taycan can now travel up to 678 kilometers on a full charge (according to WLTP tests), so driving it regularly is convenient for owners.
To enhance comfort, the Taycan comes with an adaptive two-chamber air suspension system. Thanks to this, it lets the car ride more comfortably regardless of road condition, cocooning its occupants from ruts and bumps.
The Taycan’s highly digitalized cockpit features the latest generation of the Porsche Driver Experience. The instrument cluster, central display and passenger display have improved user interface and offer additional functions. Both Apple CarPlay and Android connectivity features are even more deeply integrated.
These make accessing infotainment, navigation, and phone functions for both driver and passengers easy and seamless.
Marking the model’s exterior are fresh design touches — like edgier HD matrix headlights with four-point graphics — that make the Taycan lead its segment in high style.
Porsche Macan
The interior of the new all-electric Macan is unmistakably Porsche, defined by a low, uniquely sporty seating position and increased legroom for rear passengers. Expansive window openings result in an airy feel in the cabin.
Further making the SUV comfortable and highly practical for daily use are its large luggage spaces. Up to 540 liters of cargo can fit behind the rear seats, with the capacity extending to 1,348 liters when the seats are folded down. The “frunk” under the hood can take another 84 liters of luggage.
A welcome feature on daily drives is the Macan’s highly digitalized cockpit featuring the Porsche Driver Experience. Comprising this is a digital instrument cluster with a 12.6-inch curved display, a 10.9-inch central display, and another 10.9-inch passenger display. These provide control and access to the infotainment, navigation, convenience, and vehicle functions — useful for addressing various needs on the road, home, or office.
Like in the Taycan, the Macan’s adaptive air suspension automatically adjusts ride height and damping characteristics based on driving conditions.
On a full charge, the Macan can travel up to an impressive 613 to 640 kilometers (based on WLTP testing), depending on the model. An energy recuperation system can increase driving range on both highways and city roads, so the Macan can be driven for days, if not weeks, without having to charge it.
Signature design elements like the Porsche “flyline,” sharply raked rear windows, frameless doors and side blades — a Macan feature — all make the Macan stand out during daily drives.
Audi Q6 e-tron
With the Q6 e-tron, convenience and safety are raised to a new level through self-driving technology and voice command feature.
With adaptive cruise control, the Q6 e-tron automatically maintains speed and adjusts for changes should the vehicle in front slows down. In stop-and-go traffic, it can slow itself to a standstill, and then set off again without driver intervention.
When combined with the lane departure assist, which keeps the vehicle between lane markings on the road (even steering it around bends), the new Q6 e-tron makes driving in daily traffic, or during weekend getaways, more convenient.
Further redefining driving convenience and safety is the Q6 e-tron’s Audi Assistant feature that responds to voice commands. Rather than scrolling through menus and reaching for controls, it adjusts climate settings, set navigation routes, select music, place calls, or operate windows through voice command. It also able to understand indirect instructions.
The system is seamlessly integrated into the Q6 e-tron’s “Digital Stage” consisting of the 11.9-inch Audi virtual cockpit, 14.5-inch Audi MMI panoramic touch display, and the 10.9-inch MMI passenger touch display, which provide access to infotainment, climate, navigation, and smartphone functions.
On a full charge, the Q6 e-tron can travel up to 640 kilometers on a full charge (WLTP-rated), so daily trips and weekend drives can be taken worry-free.
Combined with generous cabin space and advanced driver-assist features, the Q6 e-tron is a smart, user-friendly choice for everyday driving.
