Porsche Macan is about to have a more compact 'successor'

September 23, 2016 17:38

The success of the Macan has led Porsche to consider developing an even more compact SUV to compete with other luxury rivals in the premium SUV segment.

When Porsche first entered the SUV segment with the Cayenne in 2002, it received mixed reviews and a fair amount of skepticism. After all, the unexpected success of this model has dispelled many doubts. At this point, SUV sales accounted for more than half of Porsche's sales in the US. The rookie Macan was even more outstanding, surpassing even the elder statesmen like the Boxster/Cayman or 911.

With the above successes, it is not surprising that Porsche has the idea of ​​developing a new multi-purpose vehicle model because 2 models are too few in this segment compared to its German compatriots. According to some sources, Porsche is planning to produce a third SUV model that is below the segment of its senior Macan in both size and price.

The new SUV is likely to be based on the Audi Q4, its Volkswagen sibling. Initially, it will only be available with an internal combustion engine, but hybrid and pure electric versions may also be available soon. The launch date of this model has not been revealed, but if approved, it will not officially hit theaters until the next decade.
