Porsche initially revealed that the second-generation Macan crossover would be completely electrical back in 2019, with sales initially set to begin in 2023. The Macan EV has actually dealt with a number of hold-ups, primarily associated to software application advancement concerns with the vehicle’s brand-new PPE platform that it will share with the Audi Q6 E-Tron. Now, Porsche has actually stated that it will lastly expose the Macan EV in Singapore on January 25.
No brand-new information were revealed along with the statement, however Porsche did launch the very first teaser picture of the next-gen Macan sans any camouflage. We can see a light bar extending throughout the back, which has a thin light aspect and a surround that’s somewhat more shapely than that of the Taycan and brand-new Panamera.
At the bumper corner is an air vent component, though we do not understand if it will in fact be practical. (Based on existing spy shots, it most likely will not be.) There will be an active rear spoiler simply above the light bar, and the brand-new Macan’s hatch and rear glass is somewhat more raked than the existing Macan.
Porsche is likewise catching the split headlight style pattern. The Macan EV’s upper light pods include the brand name’s signature four-dot selection of LED running lights, however the real low and high beams remain in a real estate lower down in the bumper. Truthfully, I do not mind this and never ever truly do, and I believe the Macan EV looks fantastic total. It’s a bit chunkier and more futuristic than the outbound design, however still identifiable both as a Porsche and as a Macan.
Every variation of the Macan EV will have a 100-kWh battery pack with an 800-volt architecture, and a minimum of to begin in the U.S. the Macan will be used in numerous dual-motor versions, the most effective of which will have more than 600 horse power. Porsche states the Macan has a drag coefficient of 0.25, and every variation will have a variety of more than 500km on the European WLTP– in a current informal variety test, Edmunds attained 523 kilometres in the base design.
Porsche will continue to offer the present gas-powered Macan together with the Macan EV for a minimum of another year or more in the U.S., though the gas Macan will be passing away earlier in Europe. Coming in 2024 will be the facelift for the Taycan, which will consist of a brand-new design most likely called Turbo GT that just recently destroyed Tesla’s Nürburgring record.
The next totally electrical brand-new Porsche to debut will be the 718 Boxster and Cayman, which must get exposed this year. Following those cars will be the ‘K1 ′ flagship electrical SUV, which will be Porsche’s very first automobile with 3 rows of seats.
