Porsche Macan is Getting a Minor Update
The Porsche Macan is getting a refresh with a mid-cycle facelift. Set to debut in September, the updated SUV looks to impress the Chinese market.
Mid-Cycle Update
In a matter of weeks, Porsche will be debuting the facelifted Macan at the Shanghai Auto Show. The Mid-cycle update will breathe some new life into the already popular Porsche SUV and garner some attention for the brand. It's no surprise that Shanghai is the chosen venue, as the growing Chinese luxury car market has been a great source of income for Porsche, with close to 30% of all Macan sales coming from China.
A Rearlift
The newest styling addition to the family of Porsche cars is the LED lamp strip at the rear. The Macan is the latest model to receive the update with this 'rearlift,' but that is not the only change. In addition to a styling refresh, there are improvements in luxury features, UX/UI, as well as driving dynamics.
