Have to say, that front end is growing on me - I prefer Porches with round rather than square headlamps, its just me. No way would I buy one of the first ones produced though, need to sort out all the likely glitches and gremlins first and see how they depreciate over 1-2 years. If they depreciate like the Taycans then will definitely look at second-hand one in 26/27.
All EVs will depreciate heavily after April 25 as the tax incentives disappear and prices will drop to entice the private buyers in.
But I do like this one. It looks like a Macan and maintains the traditional Porsche slow evolution of body form.
Most appealing pictures of EV Macan i have seen yet, Moves it to be more like a tall 911. I suspect I will not like the slight increase in size especially width.

If I was looking for an EV it would be top of my list, not too big and looks great, unlike most EVs it looks like a " proper" car.
Until you see the price and massive depreciation that we're seeing on the Taycans (and pretty much all EVs)
There is a July 2022 , 11k miles fully loaded Taycan on configuration £125k for just less than £85k, £40k hit in first year at todays prices.

More likely a new Cayenne?
That was my thought. Dealers won't get a physical Macan EV until at least 3 months after car announced if it follows recent Porsche practice.

Ah yeah probably right. On comparison the headlights look more like a Cayenne. I did think it was putting a lot of trust in a dealership to keep an as yet unannounced car under a cover for a while.
Sheffield OPC are having a "launch" of the new Cayenne on Saturday an invitation dropped into my inbox earlier this week. As I can't get on the golf course this week I'm going to drop in although there's zero chance of me deserting the Macan fold!
