Porsche Macan ICE Model To Be Discontinued In Europe
The Porsche Macan, as you know, will disappear from the market in the spring of next year. However, Europe will not remain Macan-less because a fully electric variant is on the way. The disappearance of the Macan with combustion engines also comes as a surprise.
Porsche will launch a fully electric Macan in 2024. It should, just like its technical brother, the Audi Q6 e-tron, – been launched in 2022 but was delayed. Initially, the electric Porsche Macan would also be sold in Europe side by side with the current model, which is only available with combustion engines. That’s not happening. The reason: cybersecurity.
A Porsche spokesperson says that the Macan, as you know it, will disappear from the market in the European Union in the spring of 2024. After July 1, the Macan’s electronic architecture would no longer meet the requirements that the EU would impose on it in the field of cyber security. The Macan is said to have been developed before the future requirements for digital ones and zeros were known. It would be too expensive to modify the Macan’s electronic architecture. This also seems to mean that the technical sister model, the Audi Q5, will not make it to spring next year. That SUV will not remain without a successor because Audi is working on a completely new Q5 and the aforementioned Q6 e-tron.
