2021 Porsche Macan Gets Electrified, Gasoline Models Until 2023
The upcoming 2021 Porsche Macan redesign is about to bring some pretty interesting novelties, not just in terms of new design solutions and technologies, but also in terms of the company’s policy. According to the latest reports, both the current and the upcoming will be in the offer in the next several years, at least until 2024.
The reason for such policy is simple, as the new generation will be sold as an EV model, while the current generation will carry on with familiar gasoline units. Therefore, if you are a fan of electric vehicles, you may count on a completely new design, which brings a lot of interesting novelties.
On the other side, purists will have a choice of familiar gasoline options, which bring unparalleled excitement and driving experience, something you can get from electric cars, at least when it comes to sound characteristics. Expect to see both models in the second half of the year.
2021 Porsche Macan Redesign
When it comes to the 2021 Porsche Macan redesign, there is a lot of new things to see. The new model will come as a completely electric vehicle and it will share a lot of its parts with the new Taycan. This includes the new PPE architecture, as well as many other things. At this point, we don’t know much about the styling, but our insiders suggest subtle changes and just a couple of tweaks that will accentuate the model’s all-electric character.
When it comes to performances, we don’t too many details at the moment, expect that there will be several versions in the offer. The most capable ones are expected to come first and it looks like these models will be characterized by a pretty impressive output that goes over 700 horsepower. More details should be known soon.
2021 Porsche Macan Gasoline Versions
While the new 2021 Porsche Macan EV is on the way, the current generation is about to remain in the offer with familiar gasoline engines. This means you may count on four familiar versions – base, S, GTS and Turbo.
The base 2021 Porsche Macan will carry on with a familiar 2.0-liter turbo-four engine, which is good for about 248 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque. This model comes standard with goodies like 18-inch wheels, front and rear parking sensors, a lane departure warning system, LED headlights, automatic wipers, heated mirrors, three-zone automatic climate control, 10.1 touchscreen, navigation, a Wi-Fi hotspot and much more.
