Macan ICE successor to arrive by 2028
the other dayPorsche's financial results for the first half of 2025 have been announcedHowever, due to various reasons happening around the world, the results were quite difficult.
Profits are down 671 TP1T compared to the same period last year.
With such performance, the Macan was the best-selling model in the first half of 2025, so we can expect Macan sales to continue in the future! ...But as you all know, the Macan will also be converted to an EV, and internal combustion engine models will disappear in the future, so it's unclear what will happen with this model as well.
...So, what I'm wondering isAlready announced at the annual press conference held in March 2025It was "a new SUV that will succeed the Macan"
It seems that Porsche CEO Oliver Blume has once again mentioned this model.
The content was the same as before, "We will release an SUV that will be the successor to the Macan," but this time the statement was:
"Building a more balanced drivetrain portfolio beyond 2028 will strengthen our market position and support sustainable long-term growth."
"We are developing a compact SUV with both internal combustion and hybrid versions by 2028 at the latest."
something like.
Considering that previous reports had suggested that this new compact SUV would not be released until around 2030, it seems that the plan has been brought forward considerably, with the announcement now expected to be "by 2028 at the latest."
With the Macan now only available as a full EV and the 718 EV also being delayed, I think they urgently need a rising star who can help bridge the gap in sales.
By shortening the development timeline for this new compact SUV, the company is accelerating the process and developing a model that is truly Porsche in this segment and differentiated from the all-electric Macan.
Name of the new compact SUV
What Oliver didn't clarify this time was whether the new internal combustion engine compact SUV would continue to use the Macan name in some form, or whether it would be released as a model with an entirely new name.
From what I've seen so far, it seems like it will be positioned as a new model, so I wonder if it will have a new name. But it might be difficult to have too many different models.
Personally, I don't want the lineup to have more models, but I can't imagine the next compact SUV being just another Macan variant... so I guess the lineup will increase after all.
Also, the previously announced SUV called "K1" (internal code name), which is larger than the Cayenne, was initially said to be EV only, but now it is said that there is a possibility that an ICE option may be offered, so this will also be released, but I am looking forward to seeing in what form it will be released ^ ^
The 718 Boxster and Cayman are still expected to be delayed until 2027 due to the bankruptcy of battery supplier Northvolt, and there is still no sign of any progress on this front.
