The first-generation and second-generation Macan will be sold side-by-side, providing multiple powertrain options for consumers.
Since 2015, its first full year in the market, the Macan has been the best-selling Porsche model globally ahead of the larger Cayenne.
[16] The Macan is produced alongside the Panamera with which it shares a strong resemblance, in Leipzig, Germany in a newly extended factory.
[18][15] In July 2018, Porsche announced that more than 350,000 units of the Macan have been delivered worldwide since 2014, with over 100,000 deliveries in the Chinese market alone.
Porsche subsequently released a base Macan for select Asian markets and the United Kingdom.
A 204 PS (150 kW; 201 bhp), 2.0-litre four-cylinder diesel was due to join the range at a later date.
[22] Both times are improved by 0.2 sec when employing Launch Control (feature of the optional "Sport Chrono" package).
[24]Unveiled at the 2016 New York International Auto Show, the base Macan joined the range with an inline-four turbocharged 2.0-litre engine, matte black window surrounds, brake calipers in black, unique dual exhaust pipes in stainless steel, front fascia and lava black side blades from the Macan S, seat centres in Alcantara, the newest generation of Porsche Communication Management (PCM), Piano Black interior package, park assist and a lane departure warning system.
[37] Production began in May 2024 at the Leipzig plant alongside the older ICE version of the Macan.
