Arriving at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November, the 2014 Macan has been leaked onto the interwebs, clearly showing styling queues from the Cayenne with chassis and component likely shared from theAudi Q5.
The 2014 Porsche Macan range of engines include two petrols and two diesels, with the smaller diesel likely coming from the Q5. The Macan will be offered with a 3.6-litre petrol engine for the regular Macan delivering 220kW and a 3.0-litre twin turbo motor for the Macan Turbo delivering 276kW. Diesel choices will include a 2.0-litre TDI developing 142kW and a V6 3.0-litre TDI outputting 186 kW.
Both the regular and Turbo Macan differ slightly when it comes to design. The regular version has only one row of LED daytime running lights below the headlights, while the Turbo version has two rows of LEDs and more vents in the front. Even though the lights and D-pillar are lightly masked, it’s clear that the Macan will borrow much of the Cayenne’s look, including the familiar glasshouse and simple body lines.
Pricing for the 2014 Porsche Macanwhen it enters production in December is expected to sit between the Audi Q5 and its larger sibling, the Cayenne.
