First dimensionally with its sister the Q5

Macan is 27mm lower, 25mm wider and 26mm longer than the Audi Q5, otherwise they’re very similar in size, sharing the same 2,807mm wheelbase. But the Q5 is 88 pounds lighter.

and now with cross town rival, the upcoming BMW X4

the X4 is 171 lbs lighter than the Macan... which is strange because Porsche is supposed to be the lightweight German...

You know alot of people call the Macan an expensive Q5. But I don't really know any Q5s that are like this.

All three of these look pretty similar. The Macan has a bit of a different shape because of its front end, which I think is part of the appeal of the car. The Audi and BMW look very similar, especially from the side when they are in the same color. What is the price difference like between these vehicles?

 

[MacanMan]

The Macan looks amazing, even more amazing when next to an Audi or BMW, Seems like they have some catching up to do. The Macan design is up to date and even a ahead of it's time.

I think the interior of the Macan will embarrass the Q5 interior.

It will, no question about that. There were a couple interior pictures in another thread on here showing the interior, it's better than the interior on some sports cars, sadly.

just look at the cayenne interior.

Cayenne Turbo S

Q5 interior

I definitely like the Porsche interior better than that of the Audi!

 

[big brother]

probably more fair if you compared Cayenne to Q7... Q5 is down market...

 

[macnuts]

Cayenne is still nicer

Is that black plastic all over the dash? That material should never show up in a luxury vehicle. I think it is a pretty close competition between the luxury SUVs we are talking about here. A lot of it comes down to personal preference or taste.

 

[macnuts]

most of the dash is soft plastic.

This includes the center console and most of the door.

it's also in a different segment.
both are very nice for the segments they were made to be in IMO.
