? Well, it turns out it may have spoken too soon, because Zuffenhausen has confirmed plans to replace the combustion-powered SUV with a new model that will complement the EV version.
While the company did not explicitly define the segment the new car will occupy, CEO Oliver Blume said it will be “touching the Macan segment,” albeit “clearly differentiated” from the electric model. The latter suggests it will not use the Macan name but instead be called something different, as well as featuring a unique design. Blume added that the first concepts and designs for the car are “very promising.
No launch timing has been given for this new model officially, with the company only saying it may show up near the end of the decade. However, Blume said it has an “ambitious engineering timing” for the car that will include “methods we have learnt in China” to speed up the development process, adding that 36 months “seems to be realistic.” That would put the launch of the car somewhere around 2028.
