Next generation Porsche Macan will be electric

This will be the first all-electric compact SUV from Porsche, and is due to roll off the assembly line at the start of the next decade. The development represents an expansion of the Porsche range in the field of electromobility: The Taycan - the first purely electrically driven sports car from Porsche - will be launched to market at the end of 2019, followed shortly thereafter by its derivative, the Taycan Cross Turismo.

The decision to manufacture the next generation of the Macan at the company's Leipzig site was taken as early as the beginning of July last year. Making this investment in electromobility at the Leipzig site creates the opportunity to produce fully electric vehicles on the existing production line in future.

The next generation of the Macan fires the starting pistol for electrification. Like the Taycan, this compact SUV features 800V technology and is based on the Porsche Premium Platform Electric (PPE) architecture developed in collaboration with Audi AG - highlighting the future viability of the site and enhancing its flexibility and efficiency even further.
