Production of the model&nbsp;for other global markets, including the UK, will end next summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The M1 will be twinned with the third-generation&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.autocar.co.uk\/car-review\/audi\/q5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Audi Q5<\/a>&nbsp;and sit on the Premium Platform Combustion (PPC) architecture of the pair\u2019s Volkswagen Group parent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It will also adopt the similarly sized Q5\u2019s Quattro Ultra drive system. But instead of heavily re-engineering it to offer a rear-biased four-wheel drive system \u2013 as Porsche did with the first Macan \u2013 it will instead be used largely unmodified for cost reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, unlike the outgoing ICE Macan\u2019s Porsche Traction Management set-up, which is engineered to send most of its power to the rear wheels, drive in the M1 will primarily be sent to the front axle, with the rear wheels engaging only when sensors detect impending traction loss, marking a radical shift in Porsche\u2019s engineering philosophy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The SUV will form part of the company\u2019s bid to counter stalling sales and profits. The Q5 tie-up will help the new five-seater to be fast-tracked through development in response to weaker than expected demand for the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.autocar.co.uk\/car-review\/porsche\/macan-electric\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">electric Macan<\/a>&nbsp;(25,884 global sales in the first half of 2025) and a general softening in the global uptake of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.autocar.co.uk\/car-news\/best-cars\/best-electric-cars\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">electric cars<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"3\" height=\"2\" src=\"https:\/\/gottanlent.vansonnguyen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-570.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3818\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although the M1 is intended to occupy a similar market position to the first-generation Macan, it won\u2019t be offered with an electric option. That space will continue to be filled by the Macan EV, which was launched last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Latest Reviews<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image

doesn&#8217;t escape every tell-tale of age, but secures its status as outstanding driver&#8217;s pick without breaking a sweat<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.autocar.co.uk\/car-review\/porsche\/macan\" class=\"\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read our review<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Back to top<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The comprehensive rethink of Porsche\u2019s future model line-up has been triggered by current market conditions, well-placed sources within the company have told Autocar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Originally, Porsche had aimed to make 80% of its global sales electric by 2030. The Macan \u2013 which has long been its second-best-selling model, after the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.autocar.co.uk\/car-review\/porsche\/cayenne\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cayenne<\/a>&nbsp;\u2013 was earmarked to spearhead this EV push and Porsche made the second-generation version electric-only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the time, Porsche ruled out a combustion Macan successor, citing the prohibitive cost of developing two distinct versions. But amid a 67% year-on-year fall in pre-tax profits in the first half of 2025, a sharp 28% drop in China and rising US tariffs on European car imports, Porsche has elected to replace the combustion Macan with a new model instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Porsche CEO Oliver Blume confirmed the programme in July, describing the new SUV as a \u201cvery, very typical Porsche for this segment\u201d and stressing that it will be \u201cdifferentiated from the [electric] Macan\u201d. He also noted that the M1\u2019s short, three-year development was \u201cspeeding up the process\u201d of bringing it to market. A new Porsche typically takes five years from concept to road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To hit that deadline, the new model will lean heavily on the Q5. Sources say Porsche managers have already seen early design concepts, which outline an SUV with petrol power and mild-hybrid assistance, and a four-wheel drive system biased to the front axle. Plug-in hybrid and diesel variants are not planned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The entry-level Q5 offers clues as to what to expect. It is powered by the group\u2019s 2.0-litre hybrid turbo petrol four, producing 201bhp and 251lb ft, and drives through a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox. Audi claims 0-62mph in 8.6sec and a 140mph top speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In time, a broader line-up of performance variants \u2013 badged S, GTS and Turbo \u2013 are expected to be offered. Higher-powered engines and adaptive chassis tuning are claimed to be under consideration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A production location for Porsche\u2019s new&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.autocar.co.uk\/car-review\/bmw\/x3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BMW X3<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.autocar.co.uk\/car-review\/mercedes-benz\/glc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mercedes-Benz GLC<\/a>&nbsp;rival has not yet been confirmed, although two sites are said to be under review. One is Audi\u2019s San Jos\u00e9 Chiapa plant in Mexico, where the Q5 is built. The other is Porsche\u2019s plant in Leipzig, Germany, which builds the ICE Macan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Back to top<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Porsche is going for front-biased 4WD<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autocar.co.uk\/sites\/autocar.co.uk\/files\/styles\/body-image\/public\/audi-q5-front-quarter-tracking.jpg?itok=gI0lJn2b\" alt=\"Audi Q5\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a company so deeply rooted in the philosophy of rear-wheel drive \u2013 hence the rear-axle bias to its four-wheel drive systems to date \u2013 Porsche\u2019s decision to build its first production car with a front-drive bias marks a fundamental break with tradition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since its founding in 1931, it has engineered its road cars to channel power to the rear axle, either exclusively or primarily, in the pursuit of handling precision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even in shared-platform models like the original Macan, Porsche went to great lengths to rework the Audi Q5\u2019s MLB architecture, introducing its own four-wheel drive system and suspension tuning. So why the shift now?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Partly, it\u2019s a matter of cost, bringing development efficiencies when aligned with Volkswagen Group platforms, such as PPC. In short, it will enable Porsche to develop its new entry-level SUV more quickly at a lower cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But market realities are an important factor too. In Porsche\u2019s two largest markets, the US and China, buyers are becoming less concerned with performance and handling and more focused on space and comfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Add to that the increasing pressure of ever-tightening emissions regulations and the case for a front-biased 4WD system on its entry-level SUV is more compelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Porsche &#8216;M1&#8217; SUV to use front-biased 4WD system New junior SUV will fill the gap left by the outgoing combustion-engined Macan News by&nbsp;Greg Kable 4 mins read 4 September 2025 Share Porsche is set to break with 94 years of tradition in 2028 when it launches a replacement for the combustion-engined&nbsp;Macan, which will be [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3814,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3812","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gottanlent.vansonnguyen.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3812","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gottanlent.vansonnguyen.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gottanlent.vansonnguyen.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gottanlent.vansonnguyen.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gottanlent.vansonnguyen.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3812"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/gottanlent.vansonnguyen.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3812\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3823,"href":"https:\/\/gottanlent.vansonnguyen.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3812\/revisions\/3823"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gottanlent.vansonnguyen.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/3814"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gottanlent.vansonnguyen.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3812"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gottanlent.vansonnguyen.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3812"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gottanlent.vansonnguyen.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3812"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
