Porsche new compact Hybrid SUV.

Porsche is now working on a non-EV compact SUV. The new model will basically replace the good old Macan.

It will probably have a different design from the current Macan EV. The illustration above shows what the new model could look like.

The new Porsche model will be sold alongside the current Macan EV starting in late 2027 or 2028. It will be offered as both regular gas and hybrid models. This is what the company CEO is currently saying about the new SUV:

“We’re developing a compact SUV with both ICE and hybrid versions. And that’s what we said by the end of the decade: a global rollout in all markets. We are speeding up the process with very short development times and making a very, very typical Porsche for this segment, and also differentiated from the BEV Macan. So we think, especially for the SUVs now, we’ll have a very flexible product lineup between Macan and Cayenne across all drivetrain options”.

And why not? Even though the new Macan EV is selling well, it is, after all, still about $20,000 more than the old gas Macan. Which leaves plenty of room for something else.

However, 3 years is quite a long time. And many Porsche SUV buyers might be more interested in the Macan EV by then.

Let’s hope they do come up with a new design and don’t pull a 2026 Chevy Bolt trick by re-introducing the previous generation Macan…
