Porsche Names its Upcoming Compact SUV "Macan", Releases First Official Teaser and Video



As it turns out, Porsche won't be keeping the name Cajun for the production version of its upcoming junior SUV as the Stuttgart-based automaker announced today that it will be named "Macan". Porsche says that the name is derived from the Indonesian word for tiger.
