This is the Porsche Macan, Zuffenhausen’s baby SUV and younger sister to the extremely successful Cayenne. It is set to debut in production form later this year, and we’ve seen spyshots of lightly disguised mules on test before, but only in black. Here, one wearing a sliver suit comes out to play, giving us the best view yet of the small SUV.
Like before, this test unit wears Cayenne-style headlamp and rear lamp cluster stickers to confuse you and me – the actual items are smaller and slimmer. Otherwise, the Macan looks like a shruken Cayenne with a sportier stance and roofline. Speaking of the roof, it looks like a panoramic glass roof will be on the option’s list.
British mag Autocar says that it is likely to measure around 4,600 mm long, 1,890 mm wide and 1,650 mm high. Should those figures be accurate, the Macan will be 210 mm shorter, 50 mm slimmer and 40 mm lower than the Cayenne. The Macan sits on the VW Group’s next-gen MLB platform that will also underpin the next Audi Q5, among other SUVs within the family.
According to reports, the Macan is set to be the first Porsche to use four-cylinder engines since the 968 in 1995. Besides turbo fours, the engine range will have V6 units and diesels, too. Click here to see a big gallery of the Macan in black.

Old lady’s butt, saggy, ugly
They got the Cayenne so why still need this thing?
The Cayenne is getting older and thus bigger. So they need a smaller suv to fill the gap between the sports coupe, sports wagon and pricy luxurious suv which I think is not a good idea.
My humble opinion…the rear lights are so ugly..worst than a china brand car
please read the 2nd paragraph:
“Like before, this test unit wears Cayenne-style headlamp and rear lamp cluster stickers to confuse you and me – the actual items are smaller and slimmer.”
Looks like a jacked up Pannamera. Why Conti’s love to make jacked up car these days and sells it at a premium price?
Because soccer moms all over the over are buying these junks. Real men drive wagons.
They like SUVs… don’t ask me, I don’t understand it either. Maybe they are all getting a bit old and want something they don’t have to bend down to climb in, but don’t want an MPV cause that makes them look old. But then again SUVs tend to have a high floor, so that makes it harder to get in again. And to get decent handling in a SUV you must make it unreasonably harsh.
UGLY UNTILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
Why so familiar?? Until lookalike??
ugly as f*ck. ok fine, it’s porsche.. nobody would complain.
why complain about the design? just wait until they unveil it. as the article said, “Like before, this test unit wears Cayenne-style headlamp and rear lamp cluster stickers to confuse you and me”
agreed.. i guess some people just couldn’t be bothered to read the text.. and end up shooting themselves in the foot.. hahahaha..
So a Q5 size porsche suv is called Macan…..if it’s a Q3 size porsche suv is called what???? MINUM????
Still ugly. But I think Datins dont really mind since they only care about the badge.
I also don’t mind. Engkau ado???
