2019 Porsche Macan is on the Way
Daily Slideshow: Porsche’s Macan SUV features several updates with its latest version, drawing many design elements from its Cayenne and Panamera sister models. Click through to learn more about all that’s new with the popular compact SUV.
What made Porsche invest in updating the Macan?
In a word – sales. Since 2014, Porsche has sold a whopping 350,000 Macans the world over. Porsche Cars North America Inc. recently revealed that it has seen a 6.7% increase in sales this year versus last year.
Let’s start with performance
Not that the Macan provided owners a poor driving experience: Porsche simply saw an opportunity to improve upon the vehicle. With the latest iteration of the Macan, the SUV’s chassis has been improved upon to offer better stability which, in turn, provides passengers with a much comfortable driving experience. And with the updated chassis comes the option for new wheels too: Both 20- and 21-inch wheels are available for purchase.

Improved creature features
Porsche made a number of updates to the Macan’s dashboard: Now at its center is an 11-inch touchscreen display which the driver or passenger can use to control the car’s infotainment and navigation functions. What’s more, Porsche’s Connect Plus module can be used for up-to-date traffic information as well as a recording system should its driver feel so inspired to take this (expensive) SUV off-roading.

Better visibility
Porsche made several updates to the Macan’s lighting system. For starters, at the front of the SUV, Porsche has added new LED headlights with a design that one can argue gives the vehicle a bit of a wider appearance. At the rear of the car, the company has added a three-part, three-dimensional light strip. For all the Porsche fans out there, if this strip looks familiar it’s because the design was borrowed from the Cayenne.
