I haven't seen a thread for this car.
I reckon will sell like hot cakes in all markets.
I wonder what sort of money it will be here?
The Mecan only sold 8 units in 2022 and 6 units so far in 2023. Will the EV fair any better?
The price point will be high, but available units will sell, but not hot cakes in my opinion, not in Ireland anyhow.
The tiny sales is because thanks to our tax system a base Macan is currently more expensive than a Cayenne hybrid, so you’d want to be a bit mad to buy one.
The new EV Macan will sell well.
I agree
the current Macan is petrol only whereas an EV will have much lower vrt and I’d be surprised if Porsche didn’t price the entry model below the cayenne.
I can see it being a hot seller here in the context of Porsche numbers
Define sell well.
100’s of units?
Hot cakes, not a chance.
“I can see it being a hot seller here in the context of Porsche numbers”
Thats a more appropriate statement IMO. Relative to Porsche numbers but it won’t sell like hot cakes in the same sense as an ID4 does.
Stunning looking I’d say though 👍
Article says dual motor only & just two variants, one of which will be performance. Should interesting to see pricing on the entry level model.
Had a look there, Porsche have sold 183 Taycans and 159 Cayennes (currently starting at EUR 101k, hybrid is 35k cheaper than base petrol) this year so far.
In a kinda similar area of the market to a Macan, BMW have sold 267 iX3 and 130 iX, Audi 92 Q8 e-trons. Would think that a Macan EV is vastly more desirable than any of them.
If the Macan EV comes in under 100k (current base petrol is 106k) they'll shift well over a hundred of them fairly easily I reckon.
I’d have a Mecan over any of the BMW variants too.
edit. Spelling.
Macan EV is more likely to be BMW iX xdrive50 money though. iX3 is what, €78K and the iX40 is €89k. I’d be very surprised if a Macan EV was within €25k of those prices.
Thought it would be a little small for you..😊
Bloody auto spell thing on phone 😂😂
There will be a single motor version too according to other articles I’ve read.
that will be the model most will buy here I think.
It's still spelled incorrectly (Mecan) 😉😂
I'd take a box of Meccano over a BMW as well, it'd probably go further without breaking down 😜
I could be way off with my 100k guess but I’ve based it on the fact that it’s based on the Audi Q6 platform. A Q8 is 90isk now I think, putting Q6 in the 70k zone. Then add Porsche tax.
A grim spec Taycan is just over 100k and the Macan is deffo below that in the Porsche hierarchy.
I thought the Macan EV is going to be based on a Chinese EV platform, because they were waiting on the SSP platform from VW which keeps getting delayed
My Dad has had several BMW’s never broke down on him.
Well built cars just like the Audi I have.
Unlike the crap Tesla I did own, a piece of junk.
Audi well built 😂😂
I think I’d take the BMW over most, if not all of Audis EV offerings at present.
The eTron is the new Chelsea tractor of the south side yummie mummies, all show and not much go unfortunately. Very inefficient for the levels of power you get, i thought the ID4 was bad!
My last Audi was a piece of junk too. Glad I sold that and couldn’t wait to get rid of but it was a good trade in I took off something else, but that’s a different story for another thread. Let’s not spoil the Mecan thread giving out about Audi quality.
Thanks for the review of the e-tron GT, Del Boy.
Lets not spoil another thread with your fantasies of owning, driving and selling every car ever made.

Porsche Macan Electric (2025): First Prototype Test Drive Review - YouTube
As expected, looks great.
Wife brought a brand new 191 A7.
If that was their flagship offering and was "well built" I'd hate to see their lower end stuff.
Not a great car at all. Horrible creaking from the dash that no one in the dealers could pinpoint the fault.
Gearbox that took forever to kick down meaning that even with a 3litre V6 turbo diesel engine, you couldn't risk overtaking half the time.
She bought a 211 8 series new to replace the Audi. She has less than 20 thousand kilometres on it and already the leather is worn off the steering wheel. It looks terrible.
The greatest trick the German's have played on us is convincing us their mass produced vehicles are "premium".
One of the biggest items to wear on the German stuff is the steering wheel. Especially BMW.
I’ve gotten the 530e wheel re-done recently and it’s better than OEM now!
Oi! BMWs are well built reliable cars. Unless of course you are in the 99% of people who bought one of their diesels in the last 15 years. They are sh1te, break down, or go on fire. The latter if you are lucky as the insurance will pay out for fires.
Thoughts? Don’t see pricing on the Irish website yet
€84k for the Macan 4 in Germany, €115k for the turbo
Just watched the autogefuhl video of it.
looks good enough. Price will be interesting here. It’ll have to be less than the cayenne phev which is 100k odd yet can’t be cheaper the the Audi Q6 etron that coming out.
Guess about 90k for the Macan 4 here and you’ll need 10k of options🙄 obviously.
just saw you can build and price on the uk website so we will have it soon I guess
Irish configurator now live.
Starting at 92.5k. I think it will do well at that.
That seems ridiculously expensive when a Tesla Model Y is less than half that. They seem to share the same dimensions and everything.
Not really.
That's like saying why is this Rolex so expensive when this Casio has the same dimensions.
Exactly Tesla is not luxury!
