Porsche AG has decided to manufacture the next generation of the Macan as a fully electric series.

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.

Like the Taycan, this compact SUV features 800-volt technology and is based on the Porsche PPE architecture (Premium Platform Electric) developed in collaboration with Audi AG.
