All New Porsche Macan EV

[SCA]

It would appear that the embargo for the automotive press dropped at the end of last week. Many of them have driven production examples. There are several YouTube videos regarding it as well. World debut is on January 25, 2024.

Anyways… so far I like the exterior design. I will reserve judgment until I see one in person.

I can imagine buying one to replace the X5, depending on how quickly they get the charging network sorted

I told my Porsche technician friend last night at dinner if they would put ICE it in I would buy it. I still need an SUV just not one as large as an X5 as my former one proved that it is more than I needed. The next gen X3 coming late summer might fill the void and with ICE albeit via 48v.

The interior of the all new Macan EV. Shocker… it resembles a Taycan or better yet the recently facelifted Cayenne. Further proof that this (all digital cluster) will happen to the 992.2 as well. It will be interesting to see if 992.2 gets the optional passenger screen.

So why not buy a current Macan with the ICE then? What would be appealing to you about the upcoming Macan EV with an ICE instead vs the current ICE Macan?

yeah, I thought they are going continue producing the ICE along with E for awhile.

I have had several as loaners, I do not care for the current design. Plus the design is exceptionally long in the tooth even with its minor facelifts.

Ah ok. I guess I'm kind of indifferent design-wise to both of them. They are both fine, nothing terrible or great. I guess thats how I feel about the Cayenne in terms of design too. Its fine.

Should be 2025. But I bet this will have an NACS adapter to start...

Have to agree. The styling of either is meh.

Either surprise me though with driving dynamics. Kudos to Porsche engineers.

I really like Macan EV styling.
