Porsche Macan 95B CUV
The Porsche Macan shares its platform and wheelbase with the first generation Audi Q5 (2008–2017). The suspension configuration is based on, and heavily modified from the Audi,[citation needed] but the engine, transfer case, suspension tuning, interior and exterior body are unique to the Macan. It is also 43 mm longer and 36 mm wider than a Q5.
The Macan is produced alongside the Panamera with which it shares a strong resemblance, in Leipzig, Germany in a newly extended factory. The Macan is also intended to be 'sportier' than the Cayenne; for instance the Macan has a standard 7-speed dual-clutch PDK gearbox, which is more responsive, while the Cayenne has an 8-speed Tiptronic transmission for smoother shifts.
At launch, three different models and engines were available, all being V6 format: a 3.0-litre Macan S with 340 PS (250 kW), a 3.6-litre Macan Turbo with 400 PS (294 kW; 395) and a 3.0-litre, 258 PS (190 kW;) Diesel, with a CO2 emissions of 159 g/km. The Macan GTS was announced in October 2015 to fit into the gap between the Macan S and Macan Turbo.
Porsche subsequently released a base Macan for select Asian markets and the United Kingdom. Using a reworked version of the Volkswagen Group's 2.0-litre inline-four EA888 Gen 3 engine used in multiple applications such as the Volkswagen GTI, Audi Q5.
