We cannot rely solely on traditional assumptions about consumer behavior." If Porsche decides to maintain an ICE-powered Macan, it would mirror the approach taken by Volkswagen Group sibling Audi. Alongside its Q6 e-tron electric model, Audi recently unveiled the third-generation Q5 with a choice of gasoline, diesel and plug-in hybrid drivetrains. The Macan and Q5 have historically shared platforms and drivetrains, a tradition that could continue if the ICE Macan returns. Porsche's electric plans continue to face significant challenges. The electric 718 Boxster, initially scheduled for 2025, faces delays due to supply chain issues with its battery supplier, Northvolt, which recently filed for bankruptcy amid rising debts and slower-than-expected production scaling.
