Porsche Taycan to reach Malaysia in 2020

KUALA LUMPUR: The highly anticipated premium EV from Porsche, the Taycan will hit the Malaysian market sometime in 2020. The car is still under development phase and is not available in the global market. It is expected to arrive in Europe in the second half of the current year.

Interestingly, Porsche is expected to come up as a fierce competitor to Tesla in terms of electric cars. Once on the road, the Taycan EV is expected to give competition to the Tesla Model S.

The Porsche Taycan has its battery just under the floor. It can be charged with a fast charger, which takes only four minutes to provide a driving range of 100 kilometres and 20 minutes to refill the battery from 0 to 100%.

The electric vehicle will be equipped with AWD and feature dual electric motors under the hood. The motors can offer a maximum power output of 600 hp together, which can make the car hit 100 kmph in just 3.5 seconds.

Sime Darby Auto Performance (SDAP), the authorised distributor and importer for Porsche cars in Malaysia, now has a hefty task to do, as bringing this particular model will be a complicated job. It needs to give at least four years of guarantee for each car sold and ensure that the after-sales support is provided in a hassle-free manner. Providing the required support for an all-electric vehicle (in this case, the Tycan) would be much complicated than delivering the same for the regular models.

According to the reports, SDAP will soon relocate Porsche Centre Glenmarie, which is also its head office, to a new facility. It will also act as a competency centre of the Porsche EVs to deal with the major repair work. The retail outlets, on the other hand, will take care of the minor repair work. After the opening of the new outlet named the Porsche Centre Johor Bahru in the first quarter of 2020, the sports car brand will have a total of four outlets in Malaysia. SDAP will also establish fast charging facilities along the North-South Highway. Also, the distributor will need to set up the processes to dispose and recycle high voltage batteries.
