Don't worry gas engine lovers - you will still be able to get your
petrol fix in the Macan until at least 2024.
Gas Engines are still here to stay for awhile

The next-generation Porsche Macan due out in 2021 will exclusively be
available with an electric powertrain. That doesn't mean the current,
gasoline-powered car has reached the end of its lifecycle. It recently
benefited from a mid-cycle update, and a new report claims it will be
sold alongside the battery-powered model until at least 2024.
Company insiders told Car & Driver the current-generation Macan
(pictured) will be sold alongside its successor for at least three
years, though whether Porsche will start counting when it unveils the
model or when it starts delivering it to customers isn't clear. What
happens once its lease on life expires depends on the electric model's
market performance. If it sells well, the gasoline-powered model
released in 2014 will likely retire. If it doesn't, or if demand for
the original SUV stays strong, Porsche hasn't ruled out keeping it
around. "Such an important car can keep the internal combustion
engine for even longer," another anonymous official told the
magazine.
The German firm is keeping every option on the table because the Macan
has become a hugely important car. It was the company's best-selling
model in 2019, with 99,944 units ordered globally, and it also led the
company's sales chart in the United States, where it outsold the 718,
the 911, and the Panamera combined.
It's too early to tell what the next-generation Macan will look like,
though we're not expecting drastic changes considering Porsche is
known for its evolutionary designs. Car & Driver learned the
current-generation car will receive a nip-and-tuck that will bring it
in line with its successor in the coming years. Other tweaks are
possible, too, including a new round of powertrain modifications, but
Porsche explained the Macan won't follow the bigger, more expensive
Cayenne into plug-in hybrid territory because the battery pack would
take up too much space.
