MY19 Macan coming September

[red_slr]

I was reading Autocar last night and saw that the revised Macan is on its way with new engines and slightly different look.

They suggest it will land in September.

The article makes no mention of Diesel so I assume they are going forward with petrol only?

No diesel?

Interior staying the same?

Well placed an order for a Macan Turbo

Hopefully all on track for September delivery.

Just been told we are looking at the New Year now

MY19 launch is looking like Paris Motor Show which is in October.

Well its all we got now till 2021 when the Macan E (Makhani?!) comes out.

[red_slr]

Thanks for the update

[red_slr]

Anyone know if there is a live stream or anything like that?

AMG is a nice car, I personally do not like the sound, but its expensive. I would say you can spec a very nice Macan Turbo for £68-£70k.
A decent spec on a GLC63S will be pushing closer to £90k. Its a lot faster yes, but its a different car IMHO. Closer to Cayenne Turbo really than Macan.
The Macan is not designed to be *really* fast, its basically the entry level car for Porsche now. If you want proper speed you just get a 911 Turbo S and be done with it.

Number 3 for us. Had 911 and Boxster and I think the Macan is a good compromise for a daily.

[red_slr]

Anyone seen anything? Its after 5pm over there now.

[red_slr]

Thanks so Turbo S sounds interesting..

I was told to expect about £65k base for the turbo.

Anyone know when the UK site will go live with car builder? The China version is live. New wheels look better IMHO. Few new colours.

They need to get their butts in gear I am very close to cancelling my order. I know it wont make any difference to them in the grand scheme of things but its really starting to pee me off now the lack of information and delivery dates seem to be moving further and further away. I was initially told Sep 18 then after factory closure Dec 18 then more recently Jan / Feb but could be longer. Personally I think we could be into April or even later. I have a Model 3 on order too which might end up coming before the Macan at this rate!

[red_slr]

Good to know!

[red_slr]

So there seems to be some pretty reliable rumours that there will only be 2.0 4 banger at launch and 6 pots could be as late as middle of 2019.

Initial models coming from end of 2018 will be very limited in spec and there will be 4 trim levels with almost no custom spec options.

[red_slr]

My own gut feeling is we won't see any 6 pots till June. I don't think they will even start production till April. All imho. Gts who knows.

It's very unlikely I will go through with my order now. Very disappointing first time I have been out of the brand since 2003.

I am going with an I Pace lease now. Will leave the macan order ticking along till they confirm whats happening but they only have themselves to blame for this.
