The Porsche Macan is a compact crossover SUV based on the Audi Q5, initially announced in November 2010 as a development project,[1] and formally announced by Porsche in March 2011, with deliveries expected in mid 2013.[2] Porsche aims to position the car below the larger Cayenne.
The car was originally known by its code name Cajun.[3] On February 16, 2012 Porsche announced the final name for the car to be "Macan".[4] The name Macan is derived from the Indonesian word for tiger.
The Macan will be produced alongside the Panamera and the Cayenne in Leipzig, Germany in a newly extended factory.[5]
