It's been about four years now since Porsche first
introduced the Macan. Since then, Audi has completely replaced the Q5 with
which it shares its underpinnings. Porsche will eventually follow suit, but in
the meantime, it's relying on updates.
It rolled out one such facelift in 2016, and from
these latest spy shots, it would appear that the German automaker is preparing
to roll out another.
Undergoing cold-weather testing way up north in
Scandinavia, these two prototypes bear only what looks like modest visual
enhancements. But underneath and inside, we can expect to find updated
technologies – both in terms of powertrains and infotainment.
Will that be enough to keep the Macan current in the
face of newer competition? Hard to say, rivals like the Alfa Romeo Stelvio, BMW
X3, Jaguar F-Pace, and Volvo XC60 all present fresher prospects than
Zuffenhausen's baby crossover. But if Porsche has shown us anything over the
years, it's that it can keep an old design driving sweeter than most anything
else on the road – almost indefinitely.
