Some info and spyshots of the next gen Macan in Auto Express this morning

Auto Express - New 2022 Porsche Macan EV spied for the very first time
Personally, from the photos, I prefer the current Macan side profile, especially the shape of the passenger rear window, plus I’m not keen on the retractable rear spoiler.....does a SUV actually need this?
Interesting to read that Porsche will continue to market the current petrol models alongside the all-electric new model

I wonder why there are (presumably dummy) exhaust outlets.

Car has camouflage. I'd guess the lines framing the side windows are fake. Dummy tail pipes to make you think its petrol. Front headlights look more like the Taycan lights - slimmer.
Drove a Taycan recently and really didn't like it. Quick, beautifully finished, amazing flat cornering, but zero drama; could have been a simulator. Synthesised sounds was truly awful and just a quiet whine with it turned off. Plus the gear change (it has two gears) was jerky. For me electric cars are great - I'd have one for town use (Honda e? ) but will avoid bigger electric cars for as long as possible. Porsche would do well to keep ICE cars going alongside electric cars and the signs are good with the refreshed Panamera (Taycan competitor) just being released

Saw a Taycan yesterday, it looked incredible. If it was between than and a tesla model S it would be no competition. But the whole infrastructure has a long way to go.
Was speaking to a driver at the OPC and he said driving from Scotland to London he has to stop to charge twice. And when he plugged it in at home it said it would need 14 hours to charge up. He also said the amount of people that buy a hybrid such as a cayenne and you open up the charging cables case and they are still brand new you wouldn't believe. With the extra weight of the batteries it only takes a hit on fuel consumption but i guess for some people it helps with the taxes.
I'm glad that porsche have said they will run ICE alongside and that demand will dictate the availability. I have a feeling in the next 5 years I'VE porsche is still going to be the revenue driver.

I love my Cayenne E Hybrid...
Commute to Bristol all done on electric and charge up whilst at work for the journey home.
On longer journeys, it's very quiet and refined...with the performance when I want it...can get about 40/45 on a 100 mile journey...and on really long journeys, comes in at about 30 to 35...

Wow! I had a Cayenne Hybrid on loan for 3 weeks. It had averaged under 22mpg in 4,200 miles. Too big and heavy - was hugely disappointed with it, though I think it had been abused as a demonstrator / loaner. It didn't ride smoothly eitherneilj007 wrote: ↑Tue Oct 27, 2020 5:05 pm I love my Cayenne E Hybrid...

If you don't charge it then on short journeys thats about it. I get low thirties on an uncharged 60.mile run. My Macan GTS was one of the best cars I've ever had but averaged 21MPG over 8000 miles. The ride can be a bit odd at times, but I'm blaming that on the air suspension which I don't think I would spec again.
