The German Car magazine "Auto Motor und Sport" did the first comparison between the Porsche Macan and Audi Q5.

No more stickers on the headlights and taillights ...

Thanks for posting!

I don't the position of the license plate.

whats with the blury third picture? I'm so in love with the actual tail lights, I knew they would be much sleeker than the Cayennes. It makes Macan look quite a bit sportier than the bulbous ones.

Glad to see the taillights without stickers even though the picture is of poor quality. I like that the taillights make a line across with the Macan badge. I think that the license plate being on the bumper rather than the hatch is a good move. It gets it more out of the way of the design of the vehicle. Looks like the back seat is none too roomy from these pictures of the interior though.

Hello all! If this is the real car i am going to wait until June when it will get released to buy the S version! I have the option to get the BMW 5 facelift or Audi a6 this month but this is what i really want! As Porsche has said, this drives like a sports car not a suv!

The new Macan looks amazing, i love everything about how it looks. Side and rear profile are stunning!
Anyone NOT liking it 100%?

 

[PMacan]

Butt ugly. Literally its kinda sticking out like KK's! And the front is nothing short of hideous. And what is that big black panel on the side? Door ding protector?
I still hope they are teasing ....!

this picture is the best for seeing how sporty the Macan is...

its the same car as the Q5 yet look how raked the roofline is.. I wonder what the impact will be on rear headroom? Its much better the plate beeing below on the bumper, if it was on the hatch Macan would of looked nearly identical to the Q5, but I am curious if the plate placement will be the same in NA where we use taller and less wide plates

 

[macnuts]

the rear plate mounting is a little bit strange.

 

[mikep89]

i don't know about you but i can't say it's the "same car", technically it's the same platform, saying they're the "same cars" just doesn't give both enough credit for what they are. The exterior design alone show how different they are.

underneath they are the same car. they share power plants and an all wheel drive system... Thats pretty the same in my opinion. Styling is the distinction. Macan does a good job of keeping it sporty, It makes the Q5 look like a brick...

The side profile vs the Q5 is spot on, lovely racked c pillar makes it look so much more purposeful. Not sure I understand the concern over the rear licence plate, looks fine to me, same logical position as on the 991

Yes, the rear license plate is too low, and the rear window is too steeply raked--this is going to severely cut down on cargo capacity. I do like the mesh grill in front.

 

[foxyman]

the rear plate mounting is a little bit strange.

if you order towbar then you get a different tailgate with plate mounted in more traditional position...

 

[big brother]

found another pic of the Macans real tail lamps, this time not blurry.

Its not so chunky like Cayenne...

and a bigger version of the interior picture, which IMO is standard porsche...

I think people are just use to the Cayenne.

 

[mikep89]

Interior on the Macan looks amazing, just imagine how the restyled/refreshed cayenne will look if the Macan looks like this....crazy.

 

[macnuts]

the cayenne interior is already very impressive as is.

and its because of that in which I trust the Macan interior will be great quality.

 

[big brother]

Macan is quite well done. I will admit I had my doubts, thinking Porsche was just going to give us a scaled down Cayenne, very much like Audi did with the Q7 to Q5.

I wonder what Interior options and colors will be like.

@foxyman are you sure about that with the tow bar? Seems like porsche would then need to manufacture 2 sets of rear bumpers and 2 sets of rear lift gates...
