SEAT will lead the Volkswagen Group project to develop an entry-level electric vehicle that can be sold for less than 20,000 euros (拢17,000), the company has announced. 鈥?Volkswagen's Polo-sized electric car to head up entry-level ID. The VW Group CEO Dr Herbert Diess added, 鈥淪EAT is a crucial building block for the future of the VW Group. It is a successful and important player again, based on close cooperation and synergies as well as joint technology and product development. The small electric platform is a great illustration of this. Diess鈥檚 comments would suggest that the VW Group is looking at a much more modest range for its MEB entry family than the conventional line-up, which will be launched with the ID. It鈥檚 conceivable that to keep the price at such a low level, MEB entry hatchbacks could have as little as 120 miles of range between charges. In a significant development, SEAT also confirmed that the next two Cupra models - the Formentor crossover and the Cupra edition of the next-gen Leon - will also feature plug-in electrification. SEAT confirmed at its press conference that it recorded strong sales in 2018 - the best performance in the company鈥檚 history. It made 294 million euros (拢251m) in profit last year, a rise of 4.6 per cent over 2017, and delivered 517,600 vehicles, a gain of more than 10 per cent from the previous year. What do you think of SEAT leading the way in entry-level electric vehicles?
2019 Macan (4-Cylinder) release is set currently for July 5th. 2019 Macan S goes on-sale on May 24th (models at stores now). 2020 Macan S on-sale date should be July 26th 2019. This is all pending Carb/EPA, of course. Porsche's Dealer Body does not see "price breaks from the manufacturer." These aren't Ford/Chevy stores. An small influx of newer model Service Loaners perhaps could occur to help off-set inventory concerns. PCNA have no control over release dates of cars. Porsche has internal quotas to fill just like anyone else and things that hinder that process affect everyone, not just the consumer. 2019 Macan (4-Cylinder) release is set currently for July 5th. 2019 Macan S goes on-sale on May 24th (models at stores now). 2020 Macan S on-sale date should be July 26th 2019.

Porsche has internal quotas to fill just like anyone else and things that hinder that process affect everyone, not just the consumer. I appreciate your reply. Although my experience with Porsche comes from only 2 911s and my order of a Macan S, the issue of manufacturer incentives are quite common in BMWs (owned 14 in the past) and Mercedes (owned 7 in the past). I am making an assumption that future allotments are based on meeting previous sales quotas. Older but new models need to be sold to provide relief from overhead in keeping them in inventory. Like any business, larger volumes of older products sold at smaller margins makes good financial sense to move any product to open financial opportunities for receiving newer products to be sold at higher margins. When I wrote of base Macans, I am speaking about Porsches bread and butter models that has kept this division of VW vibrant. This would not pertain to low volume, higher priced models. I wouldnt expect the 992, 718 or Taycans, whenever they are idelivered, to need dollar based incentives to maintain sales. Right: as I understand it, base Macans account for roughly 80% of Macan sales in the US (if not more). The new facelift/large screen/dual scroll turbo in the V; Macan S showed up this week at dealers in the DC area, I sat in one today a the Deutchemarque Concours in Vienna VA.

The Audi e-tron SUV that goes on sale next spring in the U.S. 鈥檛 just Audi鈥檚 first fully electric vehicle. It鈥檚 the luxury brand鈥檚 way of showing how an increasingly inevitable part of the future can fit right in and be a part of four-ring identity. In our first drive this week, we found the e-tron to be exactly that鈥攕imultaneously flaunting some daring, different engineering decisions under the surface but looking and feeling, at face value, to be a familiar, mainstream-luxury Audi. The e-tron appears, inside and out, as if it were a larger member of the allroad family, taller than Audi鈥檚 sedans but somewhat lower than its SUVs. It rides on a wheelbase that鈥檚 about halfway between the Q5 and Q7, and while it鈥檚 shorter than the Tesla Model X it鈥檚 about nine inches longer than the Jaguar I-Pace. Inside, the cabin borrows attributes from the brand鈥檚 latest A8 and A6 sedans, as well as the Q7 and Q8 SUVs. The seating position is rather high, but a beltline of distinctive trim鈥攐pen-pore ash wood in the vehicle we spent the most time with鈥攕eparates the dash and gives the front an airier feel and better vantage point.
