First New Porsche Macan Since 2014: Will It Be an EV?

While the Porsche hasn’t been completely new since 2014, it’s a steady seller in the United States. On average, it sells more than . For comparison, 911 sells half of them on average per year. So the Macan is an important vehicle for Porsche and in 2024 it is completely new.

Will the next Porsche Macan be an electric vehicle?

It’s also a . In reality, it is inevitable that, like most other automakers, electrification is at the forefront of new platforms. And in the case of the Macan, to push its mainstream buyers towards electrification, it needs startling numbers.

. Part of this equation comes from all-wheel drive.

As for the range, Porsche did not say. But it says it will have 80% charge capacity in less than 25 minutes. With two 400 volt batteries, they can be charged at the same time. Added to this is something called the Integrated Power Box. This provides on-board AC charging, a heater and a combined DC/DC converter.

Design-wise, Porsche gives the Macan a more organic and rounded overall design. It’s in line with its 911 and Taycan cues, namely voluptuous front and rear fenders. But in a break from the current Macan, it will also feature a more fastback profile, moving away from its crossover hatchback design. And the sides of the body will have that familiar 911 soft roll running along the beltline.

The shape of the DLO or side window will also be more 911-like, rounding off sharply into the C-pillar. And they’re flush now, with much of the SUV-like shot now gone. At the rear, the Macan will feature an active aerodynamic control spoiler.

The front end will also deviate from the break with more emphasis on the side vents along with the hood ending in a smooth roll like a 911 or Taycan does. What it won’t have is the large air intake and port recess that the Taycan features in the front fenders.

And the cabin?

Inside, we expect the interior to take its cues from the Taycan. Three screens will switch from side to side together. Below them will be toggle switches and buttons to adjust the cabin climate and other comfort controls.

This is one Porsche to see, which should be by the end of this year. Look for more updates at MotorBiscuit.com.
