Ambient Lighting incl. Communication Light

Your new Macan welcomes you with a captivating lighting experience. The ambient lighting not only creates a pleasant atmosphere but also interacts with you – via the Communication Light. This is a colored, animated light strip featuring 56 LEDs that stretches across the dashboard from door to door. Positioned in your peripheral field of vision, it provides functional feedback in a visually intuitive way.

Functions 

Whether during charging or entry, you are welcomed with a special lighting sequence. The system also highlights signature Porsche moments: For instance, when switching to Sport Plus mode or activating Launch Control, the Communication Light presents a dynamic light animation that heightens the emotional driving experience. 

Beyond aesthetics, the Communication Light also enhances safety by visually emphasising alerts and notifications – such as turn instructions from the navigation system. 

During lane changes, it works in conjunction with the Lane Change Assist to warn you of vehicles in your blind spot through visual signals. 

It also actively communicates during charging:

A white light indicates connection to a charging station A green light signals active charging Charging completion or interruption is also displayed through color changes
