MY’2026 Configurator Changes - New Macan Options Added

[Fun TC Driving]

2026 Configurator out with some policing and options changes.

“Porsche Digital Key”
“Outer B-Pillar Trim In Carbon Fiber”
“Dashboard End Trim In Leather With Deviated Stitching”

Some options have been renamed, e.g., Innodrive has become “Drive Assist.”

hmmmm - wonder if this can retrofitted onto previous Macan's - cheaper than the Porsche Sports Sound - LOL

 

[Fun TC Driving]

Good question. I liked Digitial Key which we had on our iX. Just re-checked and all three new options (and there might be more) can be ordered on all four models.

if they're charging for it...there must be some hardware that's added to the car...
that kinda sucks if we can't get it

 

[daveo4EV]

hmmm - I think the following are new options:

Leather Black/Chalk - $2670
Our B-Pillar Trim in Carbon Fiber - $1340 (wow sooo expensive)
Digital Key - $230

I would tend to agree with you except it's soooo cheap - porsche doesn't charge less than $500 for _ANYTHING_ that is hardware related

my speculation is:

• slightly newer version of "comfort access" hardware - i.e. it _IS_ a new hardware package
  • Macan EV's made before date xx/xx/2025 have version 10.97.3 version of the comfort access hardware "package" and cars made after xx/xx/2025 have version 10.98.7 version of the comfort access hardware "package" and therefore can have the "digital key" coded to "on" in the vehicle's configuration
• the description clearly indicates comfort access is pre-requisite

NOW the $64,000 question is can this be coded to "on" like you can code Matrix headlights to the Euro mode if you "know a guy"…

{sigh}

not an option for Gasoline Macan
not an option for Taycan

so far it appears this is only rolling out to the Macan EV - this fuels speculation that I believe the Macan has always "had" this option - and Porsche finally got around to "landing" the software package for it…

as to if it's available to cars made prior to date "X" - I have no idea…

I'll request dealer/service investigation when I pick up my Macan EV from service in the next few days…

this appears to be a Macan EV "exclusive" at this time - I would speculate as each of Porsche's other models gets "refreshed" Digital Key will roll out to each of them as an option on top of Comfort Access…

we all missed the _BIG_ change on the website this morning - it's the Model Year 2026 Macan now…

 

[daveo4EV]

Porsche remains hopelessly confused about 9.6 kW vs. 11 kW onboard charging - listing the MY 2026 Macan as having "both" -

 

[daveo4EV]

no mention of NACS port (as expected)

 

[daveo4EV]

lots and lots of minor changes for those with detail orient eyes...standard equipment - price changes, options added/removed/renamed - prices changes - base prices seem to have been bumped - not sure if that's the 3% tariffs or other changes

one would need a fine toothed comb to find _ALL_ the difference…

but this is the MY 2026 "announcement" - i.e. there is no announcement - but the configurator now reflects MY'2026 Macan EV's - right on schedule early August during factory shutdown - with new models starting to roll off assembly line when factory reopens end of August beginning of sept…

 

[daveo4EV]

entire Porsche USA website is now MY'2026 across all Porsche models except:

• 718's
• 911 Turbos (announcement expected this month for new model) - other 911's are MY'2026
• 911 GT3 RS (but the GT3 is MY'2026)

AR HUD - Macan EV only
Digital Key - Macan EV only
Active Suspension - Panamera-Hybrid/Taycan/Cayenne EV only…

from my quick review remain exclusive tech options for the Macan EV - Porsche is not yet offering these options in any of their other Models - including the Macan Gasoline…

the next "opportunity" to see if the Digital Key is "coming" to other models will be any production annoucement for mid-august - there are invites going out for a mid-august "reveal" at Monterey Car week - I know because I got an invite to RSVP but I'm out of town (grrrrr)…this annoucenment is widely speculated to be the new refresh of the 911 Turbo model lines up - will be interesting to see if "Digital Key" makes it into that model - this would demonstrate supply-chain harmonization as capabilities migrate across the manufacturing base…

my speculation is the Cayenne EV will have AR HUD and Digital Key - but the $64k questions is will have native NACS port in North America?

we'll see…

Should be 22kW 3-phase in Europe.

 

[daveo4EV]

Should be 22kW 3-phase in Europe.

North America web site - if someone can check "standard" equipment in Europe that would be great - if they have MY'2026 posted - so far the 22 kW OBC is missing in action for Taycan and Macan - I think it's because it has fatal design flaws and was not lasting the warranty period and causing a lot of problem

current 2024/2025 Macan EV is _NOT_ 22 kW in Europe and not even 11 kW in North America (9.6 kW)

current Taycan is also NOT 22 kW in Europe - 11 kW max only…AFAIK

No mention meaning they are not switching to NACS yet? Or is it just a missing detail? I suspect the former, but weren’t we also supposed to have NACS adapter support by now?
