Porsche will offer an electric Macan shortly, but the current gas-powered model will stick around for a few more years.
Prototypes for Porsche's electric Macan have been spotted again, revealing a number of new design elements bound for the production model.
Porsche has been hinting at an electric Macan for a number of years and in early 2021 finally confirmed the vehicle. It's due in 2023, meaning we'll likely see it arrive as a 2024 model here in the U.S., which is confirmed to arrive later this year. The vehicles will ride on a new PPE modular platform developed by Porsche in partnership with Audi. Versions of the platform will underpin multiple models across the Volkswagen Group.
According to our photographer, a small rear spoiler would also extend from the tailgate at speeds of more than 30 mph. And don't be fooled by the exhaust tips. Those are dummy units to hide the vehicle's identity. Prototypes for the Porsche Taycan also had these. Porsche is relying on both real-world and virtual testing to speed up development of the electric Macan, particularly in the areas of aerodynamics, energy management, user interface, and acoustics. The development goal is to ensure the electric Macan is the sportiest model in the segment. Key to this will be a sophisticated all-wheel-drive system.
Production of the electric Macan will take place at Porsche's plant in Leipzig, Germany, where the current gas-powered model is built. Note, Porsche
