While cars like the Panamera S get E-Hybrid tech, what better platform to utilize this technology than to make it available in one of the most smallest and cheapest Porsche's to be available?

• How many of you would actually buy a Macan E-Hybrid?
• What would you pay?
• What would your expectations be of it? e.x. MPG, Performance, etc
• How necessary would this be to Porsche's growth?

Me!!!! Just don't make it too expensive!!!

Porsche is going to first make sure that the regular version of the Macan is doing well before it turns it into a hybrid. I think that more brands should make the hybrid version of the vehicle the same price as the gasoline version like Ford has done with the Lincoln MKZ.

If Porsche did not come out with a hybrid version of the Macan, I don't really think they would feel it much. Porsche is already doing extremely well in sales, and I don't think that hybrids and EVs are really its competition. As long as it keeps the fuel efficiency of its vehicles reasonable, Porsche will be fine (more than fine.)

I don't think Americans will be able to get a hybrid or diesel, just the option between two gas engines: Audi's 2.0 liter, 4 cylinder, turbocharged, 237 hp engine or the supercharged 288 hp V6. Expect seven speed dual-clutch automatic transmission in whatever you get.

Hmm I actually just read about the possibility of three other options becoming available: a 3.6 litre V6 that produces 295 hp, a 220 hp four-cylinder and a 2.0-liter turbo diesel engine that gives 190 hp. There were rumors that it would originally be powered by a NEW 3.0 litre twin turbocharged V6, producing 370 hp and 400 lb/ft, and that a 2.0 liter turbocharged four-cylinder hybrid with electric motor was in the works. So who really knows?

I think naturally the Macan gets a Hybrid variant it just wont be from launch, expect to see it 6 months if not a year after Macan is introduced. a Hybrid version could move extremely well especially if porsche designs it with sporty in mind. Electric motors at the wheels coupled with regenerative breaking could provide the Macan with a stupid insane amount of torque easily satisfying the most performance oriented buyer.

I see this happening, it would be a deadly rival to the Lexus RX450h. Once Porsche steps into the compact hybrid SUV market.....Lexus is done!

I think Porsche fans are connected to the brand's sporty history. Though people are happy to have Porsches that can be a family vehicle, I am not sure that means that they are looking for a hybrid vehicle, especially for the extra cost that it would likely entail.

The Hybrid isnt for Porsche Fans, its for mass market. Besides look what Porsche has done with the 918 Hybrid and tell me that Porsches and Hybrids dont go together. If they can get that technology into the Macan its a home run
