New Porsche Macan with five stars in Euro NCAP
16/12/2024
The new Porsche Macan has received the top rating of five stars in the 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. Their performance far exceeds 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 (New Car Assessment Programme). This is a standardised test procedure for the evaluation and comparability of the safety of motor vehicles. Every two to three years, the test criteria are revised and the requirements are continuously increasing. 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. The development process took around three years.
"In the development of these systems, Porsche always goes far beyond the minimum legal requirements to optimise safety.” says Björn Kern, an expert of active safety systems at Porsche. For example, in the Macan, the emergency brake assist processes data from the front camera, the centre radar and the front corner radars. For the legal minimum requirement, the front camera would suffice. The combination of radars and cameras enlarges the field of view and significantly expands the area of action. With this system, the Macan also defuses complex situations, such as in the dark, with pedestrians emerging from a blind spot or turning at intersections.
