JAKARTA - Porsche has officially brought the all-Electric Tigers to Indonesia. This is the first time this series has offered a full electric drive after 10 years of relying on a pure combustion engine (ICE).

In addition, this car also has a number of reshuffles ranging from design, interior comfort, more advanced technology, to impressive performance. In fact, this latest-generation Tiger has also been ordered before its launch.

Sales & Marketing Manager of Porsche Indonesia Ricko Boen, said that his party had pocketed an order for this electric-powered premium SUV but did not mention the number.

"The stock we got has been allocated. As far as I know, someone has ordered a Tiger," Ricko said when interviewed by the media after the launch in Kebon Jeruk, Jakarta, Monday, June 10.

Even though it has been ordered by Indonesian consumers, Ricko said he could not confirm the waiting period for the all-electric Tigers because his party needed to wait for confirmation from Porsche in Germany. Please note, this model is an imported assembled (CBU) from Leipzig.

"For the incident period, from Germany there has been no confirmation to us when it will arrive in Indonesia. Yes, as an illustration, the previous model could be 6-8 months for the waiting period for the car that we customized ourselves," explained Ricko.

Ricko also added that his party has market targets for this model, especially for new families and groups that care about the environment. Thus, the market coverage is wider when compared to other Porsche models such as Taycan.

"The target market is of course customers who care about the environment but want a practical side, because this Tiger is an SUV," said Ricko.

Indonesia gets two types of Tigers, namely Tiger 4 which is powered by electric motors with a magnitude of 408 ps and a torque of 650 Nm and Tiger Turbo has the highest power of 639 ps with a powerful torque of 1,130 Nm.

Thus, this model can reach speeds from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.2 seconds for the standard type and as fast as 3.3 seconds for Turbo. Both have the highest speed of 220 km/hour and 260 km/hour, respectively.

Equipped with a lithium-ion electric battery with a gross capacity of 100 kWh (95 kWh active), this car can cover a distance of 613 km for the standard type and 591 km for the Turbo variant. DC 270 kW fast charging allows this car to charge from 10 to 80 percent in 21 minutes. The EV Tigers are also compatible with 11 kW charging for use in residential areas.

Entering the premium electric vehicle market in the country, the all-electric Porsche Macan is priced at IDR 2.49 billion Off The Road DKI Jakarta. This price does not include the personalization options offered by the manufacturer.
