Porsche’s all-electric Macan SUV boasts a 381-mile range and up to 621hp
Porsche just revealed the new electric Macan SUV, which boasts a 381-mile range and up to 630bhp. It also boasts three digital displays as part of an infotainment platform, which is assisted by a proprietary voice assistant.
Porsche's Macan EV will fully replace its gas counterpart in a few years
Porsche's electric Macan won't give its combustion engine counterpart much room to breathe. The automaker's deputy chairman Lutz Meschke told Autocar in an interview that the Macan EV will sit alongside the gas version when it arrives in 2021, but only for a "couple of years." After that, you'll have to buy the electric model if you want Porsche's take on a compact SUV. While he wasn't too specific about the reasons for the strategy, he noted that the transition will likely be "different by region" given the varying progress on EV infrastructure.
Porsche plans to electrify its best-selling Macan SUV
Porsche has announced that it will electrify the next-generation Macan, which will become its first all-electric compact SUV. The EV version of the Macan, which is Porsche's best-selling vehicle with over 90,000 sold in 2018, will go into production "early in the next decade," the company said. It will become the third EV in its lineup, after the Taycan sedan (aka the Mission E concept) and the Cross Turismo, which will go into production in 2019 and 2020, respectively.
Porsche's $2,000 Passport subscription swaps cars on demand
Like the idea of Cadillac's car subscription service, but feel its lineup is a little too... proletarian? If you live in Atlanta, you're in luck. Porsche is launching a Passport service in the city that gives you "frequent" vehicle swaps, unlimited mileage and coverage for the essentials (insurance, registration, maintenance and taxes) for as many as 22 different cars through a mobile app. If you want to ferry the kids to school in a Cayenne but cut loose with a Cayman on the weekends, you just have to tap your phone screen. Think of it as Netflix for speed junkies.
