Thanks to a number of conscious changes to the exterior, the new Macan now has an even sportier and more modern look. Numerous details reflect the DNA of the iconic 911 sports car and the 918 Spyder. The front end of the Macan has also been meticulously reworked so that it now appears even wider, while the comprehensive overhaul at the rear builds on the sleek design of the predecessor model.
The new Macan is equipped with head lights featuring LED technology as standard, which can be further optimised if desired
The three-part, three-dimensional LED light strip represents another typical Porsche design element at the rear, while the four-point design of the brake lights also reflects the brand's identity.
The link to the 911 is consolidated in the interior of the new Macan with the optional GT sports steering wheel. The mode switch plus Sport Response Button integrated into the steering wheel is also showcased in the Macan as part of the optional Sports Chrono Package.
The extended list of comfort options include a heated windscreen and an ioniser to improve the air quality in the interior. New exterior colours such as 'Miami Blue', 'Mamba Green Metallic', 'Dolomite Silver Metallic' and 'Crayon' combined with new interior packages ensure that the Macan is now more customisable than ever before.
Through the new Porsche Communication Management (PCM), the Macan offers numerous digital functions. Above the typical Porsche rising centre console, a full-HD touchscreen enlarged from seven to 11 inches has been incorporated seamlessly into the newly designed instrument panel.
Just like in the Panamera and Cayenne, the user interface on the infotainment system can be customised using predefined tiles. The air vents have also been redesigned and are now positioned below the central screen.
Thanks to its optimised chassis, the new Macan is able to consolidate its exceptional status as a sports car in the compact Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) segment. Fine-tuning of the chassis delivers enhanced neutrality while maintaining stability and improving comfort.
Although unusual for the SUV segment, the Macan still features mixed tyres with different widths on the front and rear axles. As with Porsche sports cars, this arrangement enables the driver to take full advantage of the intelligent, all-wheel drive Porsche Traction Management (PTM) when it comes to driving dynamics.
With over 100,000 deliveries to date, the model is especially popular in the Chinese market where Porsche unveiled the redesigned compact SUV. The model presented in Shanghai will be offered exclusively in the Chinese market. Other models and markets will follow during the course of the year.
