The 2024 Porsche Macan EV has been delayed by 12 months, according to a new report.
In a story outlining Porsche’s upcoming launches, Automotive News Europe states deliveries for the forthcoming Macan will commence in 2024 due to software-related supply issues.
This is around one year later than initially anticipated, likely due to the industry-wide semiconductor chip shortage.

As reported, the electric Macan will be underpinned by the Volkswagen Group’s new Premium Platform Electric (PPE) architecture shared with the upcoming Audi A6 E-Tron and Q6 E-Tron.
It will be sold alongside an updated version of the current petrol Macan, before eventually transitioning to an electric-only offering.
The electric Macan will take its design cues from the Taycan, with a slender headlight design and a streamlined rear lightbar design.

It will also debut a 'coupe' body style for the Macan, following in the treads of the larger Cayenne Coupe, along with hands-free driving capability and a camera-based driver monitoring system.
In addition, the report states the new Macan will be joined by a larger electric Porsche crossover in the coming years – plus the electric 718 Cayman and Boxster, and updates to the current range.
As first detailed late last year, the new three-row SUV – codenamed K1 – will be longer, wider, and taller than the Cayenne, with a sporty “part sedan, part crossover” look.
Porsche dealers in the United States were reportedly shown a rendering of the new crossover during a meeting, with one claiming the design was “very un-Porsche-like,” with a “flat rear design… not anything like the Macan and Cayenne”.

Further details surrounding the new crossover remain uncertain, however, it is likely to be electric-only – in line with Porsche’s plan for 80 per cent of its sales to be battery-powered vehicles by 2030.
Upcoming changes to the Porsche line-up are set to include updates to the current Taycan and 911 (including a hybrid 911), a facelift for the Cayenne ahead of an all-electric redesign in 2026, and battery-powered versions of the Panamera, Cayman and Boxster from mid-decade.
