    The internal-combustion engined Porsche Macan will get a successor alongside the battery-electric model that made its global debut in January 2024, and now it has emerged that the next ICE Macan will use a front-biased AWD drivetrain, reported Autocar.

    Known internally by its M1 codename, the next ICE Macan will use the Volkswagen Group’s Premium Platform Combustion (PPC) architecture which is shared with the third-generation Audi Q5.

    While the internal combustion-engined Macan was discontinued in 2024, the marque has since made an about-turn on the decision, and has instead confirmed earlier this year that the petrol-powered model will get a successor, to go alongside the EV version.

    The publication cited sources as saying that the next ICE Macan will get a petrol powertrain with mild-hybrid assistance, and a front axle-biased all-wheel drive system, while PHEV and diesel versions are not planned. Referencing the third-generation Q5 that will share its underpinnings, this should mean the deployment of the 204 PS 2.0 litre turbocharged TFSI petrol powertrain, incorporating a 24 PS/230 Nm e-motor.

    Though Porsche initially aimed to have EVs make up 80% of its sales volume by 2030, the decision for a ICE Macan successor came about as the brand recorded a 67% year-on-year drop in pre-tax profit in the first half of this year, while sales dropped 28% in China, Autocar reported.

    Efforts to replace the ICE-powered Macan were confirmed by Porsche CEO Oliver Blume in July, according to the report, and Blume said that the new model will be “differentiated from the electric Macan”, adding that development of the ICE model has been sped up to three years, which would make the debut of the ICE Macan estimated around 2028.

     
     

  • Porsche Macan petrol to be replaced after all – new model line to complement EV version, spawn PHEV

    Remember when Porsche said it would be discontinuing the petrol version of the Macan and go all electric? Well, it turns out it may have spoken too soon, because Zuffenhausen has confirmed plans to replace the combustion-powered SUV with a new model that will complement the EV version.

    While the company did not explicitly define the segment the new car will occupy, CEO Oliver Blume said it will be “touching the Macan segment,” albeit “clearly differentiated” from the electric model. The latter suggests it will not use the Macan name but instead be called something different, as well as featuring a unique design. Blume added that the first concepts and designs for the car are “very promising.”

    No launch timing has been given for this new model officially, with the company only saying it may show up near the end of the decade. However, Blume said it has an “ambitious engineering timing” for the car that will include “methods we have learnt in China” to speed up the development process, adding that 36 months “seems to be realistic.” That would put the launch of the car somewhere around 2028.

    The news comes amid a slowing EV take-up rate around the world, something Porsche itself alluded to in its 2024 financial results presentation yesterday. While the company remains adamant that making the Macan electric-only last year was the right move, the company is hedging its bets with petrol and plug-in hybrid power with this car.

    Also part of the reorientation are the combustion-powered Panamera and Cayenne, which will continue to be offered well into the 2030s. In particular, the current third generation of latter will receive “considerable engineering effort” to survive alongside the upcoming fourth-generation model, which will be fully electric.
