Porsche looking into hybrid version of Macan compact SUV

Porsche may offer an all-electric version of its Macan compact SUV and could turn models such as the iconic 911 into hybrids, its sales chief said, amid a push by parent company Volkswagen to move on from dieselgate.

Porsche, the second biggest contributor to VW’s overall profit, is spending about €1bn to produce the all-electric Mission E, the brand’s first battery-only model that is expected to launch by 2020.

“We have other ideas beyond the Mission E,” sales chief Detlev von Platen said at the Geneva auto show.
