Here is one of the first if not the first illustration of the next credible SUV Porsche Macan.

Would not the expected presence of L4 motor gasoline and diesel V6 and 3.0 L of various VW group as we discussed a few weeks ago.

The large dip in Porsche segments begin and most popular, with Macan, a perfect illustration of industrial synergies of the Volkswagen Group. This technical clone of the Q5 should still be entitled to the elements of chassis and running gear specific, but the base is known. Mechanically particular, with the 4-cylinder 2-liter TFSI in the entry level (under about 220 hp on the Macan), and the TFSI V6 from S4 and S5 as a top-line (333 hp Audi).

Macan takes the headlights similar to the Cayenne, but more elongated and slightly smaller, there are also LED lights, located in the vents, which are slightly reminiscent of the old 911 GT. The vehicle is also more curved and inclined than its big brother, giving it a more urban look.

This new record is very close to the prototype that we saw on the first spyshots of the model adopting smaller proportions than the big brother, the Cayenne. If the overall look is inspired by the latter, the front wants nevertheless slightly sportier than the SUV and the LED daytime running lights change position relative to the Cayenne.

For the rest difficult to say more because the designer does not offer us one made ??of Macan. If all this is speculation, the final figure would still be relatively close to this rendering, but to be sure he will have to wait.

All indications are that the Macan will be offered with either a 4-cylinder or 6 cylinder which could be accompanied by a turbocharger for high-end version. The Macan could share its popularity with its counterpart at Audi, the future Q6.
