No, but its really close, would be my guess. The front end looks a little too big/heavy.

three launch engines - in Europe:

3-litre V6 diesel 245 PS
3-litre V6 supercharged petrol 340 PS Macan 'S'
3-litre V6 turbocharged petrol 400 PS Macan 'turbo' - could be new bi-turbo? Audi/VW/Porsche engine

2-litre I4 petrol 233 PS, from 2014 and 2-litre I4 diesel 204 PS, from 2015.

7-spd DSG and permanent 4WD standard.

from €47,500, for delivery around Nov 2013.

I realise most here love their anglo motors - god knows why - but this baby, and the technically very capable and very cheap new 2014 Jeep Cherokee from underneath are gonna murder the overpriced, gas-guzzling, liable to kill you Range Rover Evoque.

I think you'll find the opposite if anything. You really are coming across as a complete and utter idiot, and yet in real life you're probably a reasonably intelligent person. Do yourself a favour and tone down your posts.

7 speed DSG? I'd prefer to see the far more robust ZF 8 Speed auto across the board in the Macan.

happy to be a complete and utter idiot if you are doing the judging.

did you read the freaking link? 'liable to kill you'? if you did, which of course you did not, you would know that that was not hyperbole, in fact, an understatement. the scandal with the known intercooler fault in petrol Evoques is that the NHTSA did not issue an immediate recall/production stop order.

before you blast off about complete and utter idiots, consider that others would likely see you, due to jumping the gun, with your own agenda, in the same way.

do yourself a favour, tone down the condescension and above all read before you post.

As I have never met you, I can only judge you based on your posts, and that IMO makes you come across that way. I even gave you the benefit of the doubt by saying in real life you're probably a reasonably intelligent person.

you read the freaking link? 'liable to kill you'? if you did, which of course you did not, you would know that that was not hyperbole

It is hyperbole. How many people have died from driving an Evoque in the last six months? The word "liable" means it is more than likely to happen than not, and if people had more than a 50% chance of dying when stepping in an Evoque, I think it would have made the news.

you blast off about complete and utter idiots,

I don't think by any stretch of the imagination my post could be described as a "blast off". Indeed, it was actually quite calm, measured and to some extent, complimentary. I also never said YOU were a "complete and utter idiot". I said you're COMING ACROSS as one, and then also said you're probably "reasonably intelligent".

Alright chaps - let's leave the personal ping-pong out of this. Moving along...

 

[Levi68]

Engines seem correct.

Macan S gets the 3.0l V6 Supercharged from the S4/S5/A6 etc..., Macan Turbo gets a new 3.0l V6 Twin-Turbocharged, that is higly likely to power the new RS4/RS5.

 

[Kilcrohane]

From Auto Bild this week. This is almost certainly it.

 

[Levi68]

Too similar to Cayenne IMO. Would like something more different (ex. 981 vs. 991).

What, like a mid-engine small SUV versus a rear-engine small SUV?

Matters not what nonsensical brickbats people will try fling at this; it's gonna be huge - selling wise - which is why it scares the bejesus out of fans of a certain brand.

Your arrogance blinds your understanding. First when did I say it would not sell or that its success scares me? You FAIL to implicit reading. Read some of my previous post and you'll see that I said the Macan will be best in segment and outsell everything, and be one of the most successful Porsches.

Then its success has nothing to do with what it looks like, because in any case it will look good. Point is that I would prefere more differenciation between Cayenne and Macan, other wise Macan will be a downscaled Cayenne just like RR Sport is an upscaled RR Evoque. The 981 and 991 are easily differentiatable, not because one is mid-rear and the other rear-engined. I hope the Macan looks different than what you posted, because that looks like Cayenne facelift.

Calm down bro, you are getting rediculous. Always aggressive and on your defensive.

Gee, Kilcrohane, which "certain brand" are you referring to in this Porsche Macan thread? I mean, whatever could YOU be talking about? Pray tell.....

 

[Levi68]

LOL, he means the Range Rover Evoque?

I never even thought about it. I was thinking about BMW X3 and Mercedes GLK.

 

[hoffmeister_fan]

Levi, I was laying the sarcasm very thick.

I may be totally day dreaming or disillutionised but IMO it's not a new budget brand or the assimilation of Alfa Romeo but PORSCHE that, before 2018 is going to bring VAG into worlds No.1 carmaker in volumes.

Let's wait and see. For Porsche is on a roll, here in SA they are most certainly becoming BMW, M-B and Audi's next headache.

It is right. Porsche may not have have any S-Class rival, it doesn't fit the brand in that way, but in all other segments where they are present, they are the best. Only issue the Panamera is not good looking. I'm sure this prblem will be fixed with the next generation. Do not forget Porsche is going to comepte against the best-seller sedan with a 3 Series rival. Later on, I would be surprised seeing a "rebadged" Golf.

 

[Huckfeldt]

Not 3er competitor but 5er/E/A6

Is the Panamera not the 5er/E/A6 rival ? Because we shopped it against an E63 ?
