Two years side by side
Porsche comes with a completely new electric Macan and expects to sell quite a few copies. In fact, the electric Macan will not be inferior to the current generation with combustion engines in terms of sales figures.
The Porsche Macan will be joined by a fully electric variant within a year. The new electric Macan does not share a single nipple, nut or bolt with the Macan as you have known it for years. We do not yet know exactly what the electric Macan will be called. It is known that he will not immediately replace the well-known model with combustion engines. The two Macan generations will be sold side by side for about two years. Porsche tells the German Automobilwoche that it expects that the electric Macan will eventually be sold as often as its fossil fuel-fired brother.
“Every year we produce more than 80,000 units of the current Macan generation. In time, the fully electric Macan will also be built on that scale,” said Albrecht Remold, member of the Porsche Board of Management. against Automotive Woche. Underneath the ‘Macan EV’ will soon be the PPE (Premium Platform Electric) platform, a new modular basis for higher-ranking models of the Volkswagen Group.
Just like the current Macan generation, the electric Macan will soon come off the production line in Leipzig, Germany. Porsche also wants to build a new large electric SUV there, possibly the electrically powered equivalent of the Cayenne.
In the first half of 2022, Porsche delivered 145,860 cars. The Cayenne was the most popular of the Porsche family with 41,947 units, followed by the smaller Macan of which 38,039 units were registered. Since the market launch of the Macan in 2014, some 2,600 units have been sold in the Netherlands. It had its peak year in 2017, when 445 units were registered in our country.
