About Porsche Macan
The Porsche Macan is a 5-door compact luxury crossover SUV manufactured and marketed by the German automobile manufacturer. It was introduced to the market in 2014 and is still in production. The car is known for its high performance and quality. The assembly lines for the products are at the Porsche Leipzig GmbH in Leipzig, Germany. The automobile has many variants including the base, the S, the S diesel, the GTS, and the Turbo. The Porsche Macan shared a VW Group MLB platform with the Audi Q5, possessing a front-engine all-wheel-drive layout. It was originally known as the Cayenne Junior which was more like a midsize and less sporty crossover SUV than Macan.
The project for the Porsche Macan was announced in 2010 and was formally announced in 2011 by Porsche. The naming for the model was decided in 2012, meaning tiger in Malay and Indonesian. Some parts and accessories of the Macan were shared with other vehicles which used the same platform for manufacturing. These parts and accessories included the basis of the suspension configuration. However, the Macan keeps its own individuality and uniqueness by having its own parts and accessories including the transfer case, the suspension tuning, the engine, and both the exterior and interior design and styling. The size of the body structure is also larger than the Q5. The powering system was given a 7-speed dual-clutch PDK transmission for the powering system parts. This allowed the vehicle to have the ability for a more responsive driving experience. Dealers could choose from many different types of engines, mostly depending on what level or variant of the vehicle they choose to purchase.
