The Porsche Macan is an unusual thing. Half of the big hot hatch and the baby Cayenne half, but it really is a rare mixture works really and has created a car that offers an exciting experience as you expect.
MLB platform, built on the VW Group, the Macan shares over a third of its body components with the Audi Q5. The driving experience, however, clearly feels Porsche, focus on interaction and fun, rather than the approach of the Q5 train load.
Porsche worked hard to conceal the Porsche Macan dimensions, the vehicle a roll control and a suitable arrangement of the direction, which cause the corresponding interaction. Choose Macan GTS driver-oriented and still improve things. Although attempts have been successful Porsche Macan and is certainly impressive, not a second reflections approaches a Porsche SUV without the driver's assistance.
The brand SUV Macan all standard boxes offer a wide range of engines, Audi Turbodiesel V6 3-liter V6 petrol V6 even more powerful Dual 434 in the package Macan Turbo PS performance.
Ultimately, it is also rounded with a price that potential buyers are likely to see dramatically and X3S Q5S boot leap for the Porsche logo package. Although 911, the Macan is sharper than most of its competitors, including the Cayenne. It is not a sports car itself, but the GTS and Turbo are the closest we saw a sports utility vehicle that comes.

Regarding the competitor, BMW X3 has better in terms of space, but the Macan can not match driving dynamics and fit and workmanship. Audi Q5 is a similar configuration, but does not feel as a premium as a Porsche.
The closest Porsche Macan competitors is the Jaguar F-Pace. British equivalent SUV versions are usually more expensive than the Macan, but the F-Pace is also larger and more powerful. It's how the F-Pace leads that competitors can actually be Macan, it can not be polished as a Porsche, but it feels more natural to drive fast. The choice between the two, without sufficient back-to-back testing is impossible.
The sportier variants of the Macan, GTS and Turbo Performance Package, before the F-Pace movement in terms of performance and speed. We suspect that Jaguar dallying will get version SVR R or restore your SUV on the market balance.
The new Alfa Stelvio shows signs of being a competitor. The first petrol 2-liter model impressions suggest that it is competent and relatively fun. The 503bhp Quadrifoglio version, which Alfa pawned relate to both Jaguar and Porsche.
Make sure the Range Rover, we are still in the car, pursues the goal of taking market share Macan. Its shape is boxier clean and tidy, but it looks as sporty as its competitors. Moreover, as in the creation of performance cars Land Rover has instead of a brand with more experience, we believe that on the road will not be able to challenge the Macan, but it must be the best in the raw state available.
