Author: Radomskyi Maksym VasyliovychThere is a popular belief that the Porsche Cayenne crossover is a kind of elder "brother" of the Macan model. But is it really so, we tried to figure it out in this review-comparison.
Exterior
At first glance, it may seem that the Cayenne is practically no different from the Macan, but this is not so. There are differences, and they are not only in the size of the car. The younger “brother” has more rounded and curvaceous forms, and the Cayenne model has an elongated body with a representative look. From the front, the cars are very similar to each other, but from the side, the Makan stands out for the presence of door moldings and a low-slung roof. In addition, the car can be equipped with tuning parts for "Makan" , which are available in our catalog. Also, this model has a sloping rear end, but the "relative" adds spectacularity in the form of a solid lamp.
| Parameters | Cayenne | Macan |
| Length | 4918 mm | 4681 mm |
| Width | 2,194 mm | 1923 mm |
| Height | 1,696 mm | 1,624 mm |
| Wheelbase | 2895 mm | 2 807 mm |
| Clearance | 215 mm | 198 mm |
Interior
The interiors of the two cars differ more significantly than the exterior, but there are also similarities. The Cayennes main selling point is the large 12-inch touchscreen in the center console. In addition, it can accommodate five people including the driver, which is not permissible for "Makan" In general, both salons are good and you cant find fault with the quality, but the older model looks more chic and modern.
- Luggage compartment volume Cayenne: 770 liters, with the rear seats folded down - 1,710 liters.
- Luggage compartment volume Macan: 500 liters, with the rear seats folded down - 1,500 liters.
Engines
The motor line of the two cars is represented by several power units. However, the "younger" model has an economy version in the form of a 2.0-liter engine with 252 horsepower.

How much does a Porsche Macan cost
The initial cost of Porsche Macan in the Ukrainian market is from 80 thousand dollars. As for the "Cayenne", the price of this model starts at $ 93 thousand. Thus, we can conclude that the smaller model is a good economy option, so to speak, for fans of the legendary German brand crossovers.
When is the Porsche Macan coming out?
At the end of the review, I would like to mention one more nuance. The fact is that the Cayenne model has already undergone the third generation, but the smaller cross is still produced in its original form. In this regard, the global automotive community is waiting for the appearance of an updated car. There is unconfirmed information that this event will occur early next year at the Detroit Auto Show.
