New Porsche Macan Compact SUV Scooped in Pictures and on Video, First Look at the Interior
A cunningly disguised prototype of the all-new Porsche Macan compact crossover has made another appearance for the camera revealing its interior for the very first time. From the spy shots, it looks like the Macan will feature a similar but not the same dashboard design to the second generation of the larger Cayenne SUV with a prominent center console sporting a large touch screen flanked by vertical air vents.
On the outside, compared to the previous test car and aside from the faux lights and rear window panels that remain, this prototype of the Macan featured larger wheels and rims, aluminum roof rails and quad instead of dual exhaust pipes hinting at a more powerful engine under the hood.
Speaking about engines, the Audi Q5-sized crossover will be the first Porsche since the 924/944/968 series models to be offered with four-cylinder powerplants, and in particular, 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline and diesel units producing somewhere around 240hp and 200hp respectively.
