So, the new name for the Cajun is the Porsche Macan.

I'm glad they didn't go with Cajun, but I'm not sure I like Macan any better tbh.

Edited to fix link after the page was taken down from the Porsche Origin site.

What is it? A Q5 with a Porsche badge?

I wouldn't be surprised if it shares a lot of the underpinnings. It'll essentially be a smaller Cayenne.

My guess would be that they will possibly give it a slightly sportier edge and focus less on off road capabilities.

A friend told me that 'Macan' means 'Tiger' in Indonesian.

Fact of the day, fact fans.

Porsche said that when they announced it.

Porsche said:

Porsche today confirms the name for its forthcoming new sports car in the SUV segment is Macan. The name Macan is derived from the Indonesian word for tiger and combines suppleness, power, fascination and dynamics – core characteristics of this new all-terrain car.
