The Porsche Macan continues to rake up impressive sales for the German brand and soon, will be given a refresh that includes a tweaked design and some improved technologies.
Our spy photographers snapped a thinly-disguised Macan prototype testing in the snow. To the casual observer, the crossover appears largely identical to the outgoing model. For the most part, this is true but strip away the black tape hiding key exterior elements and we’re set to find some notable tweaks.
Most significantly, Porsche will update the bumpers and lights of the facelifted Macan. Although not evident on this prototype, we’re told that the updated Macan will have an LED strip running the width of the rear, similar to the Porsche Panamera and 992-generation 911.
Numerous changes will also be made in the cabin, including the implementation of a larger infotainment screen and the relocation of the air vents.
Will most Porsche customers notice the changes? Probably not, but the updates will be important to keep the Macan looking fresh for the coming years, particularly with big changes afoot for the 911 and impending all-electric Porsche models, including the Mission E.
Porsche has been testing the facelifted Macan for over 12 months now. Consequently, a reveal date is likely to come in the first half of the year.
