AutoTrader Commercial What’s New With the 2019 Porsche Macan 2025

VIDEO Autotrader What’s New With the 2019 Porsche Macan TV commercial 2018 • Autotrader recently flew to Edinburgh, Scotland to check out the refreshed 2019 Porsche Macan. Our thoughts on the vehicle's performance will come at a later date, but for now, let's take a look at exactly what changes were made to the Macan for 2019. Up front, the Macan receives a new headlight design, now with standard LEDs. The air dams underneath the headlights have also been widened a bit, serving to give the vehicle a slightly more aggressive demeanor. Finally, optional aluminum accents are now available for the base trim on both the front and rear bumpers. Speaking of the rear, the hind quarters of the vehicle are home to what will surely be the easiest way to tell a 2019 Macan from previous model years, as the vehicle's rear hatch has been made to incorporate a wrap-around rear LED taillight design, similar to what you'll find on a new Cayenne or Panamera. To round out the exterior changes, a few new wheel designs are available, as are four new colors -- Miami Blue, Chalk, Dolomite Silver Metallic and Mamba Green Metallic. As for the inside, by far the most notable change is the Macan's adoption of a new 10.9-in infotainment screen running the latest version of the Porsche Communication Management system, also known as PCM. The new screen replaces a 7.0-in unit, its newfound width forcing the relocation of the center air vents from either side of the screen to just below it, which was previously occupied by a CD player and a few memory card slots, all of which goes away. The latest PCM software allows for added configurability of icons and display menus. The system now comes standard with navigation and offers optional Apple CarPlay compatibility, but forgoes Android Auto. Newly optional on the Macan is Porsche's GT Sport steering wheel, a design similar to what you'll find on the 911. On models equipped with the optional Sport Chrono package, the GT Sport steering wheel features a wheel for selecting drive modes along with a what's referred to as the Sport Response button. When pressed, it gives a 20-second burst with the vehicle's engine, transmission, chassis and exhaust tuned to their sportiest available settings. Macans equipped with the Sport Chrono package are easily identifiable by the clock mounted atop the dashboard above the center stack. And that about sums up the major changes coming to the Macan for 2019. An official on-sale date has yet to be announced for the U.S., but expect the 2019 Porsche Macan to be available this summer. 00:00 I'm here in the Scottish Highlands and 00:01 next to me is a 2019 Porsche ohmic on 00:03 the makan receives a number of updates 00:05 for the coming model year and here we're 00:07 gonna take a look at some of those 00:08 changes starting up front the makan 00:10 receives a new headlight design it now 00:12 with standard LEDs the front air dam 00:14 have also been widened which served to 00:16 give the vehicle a slightly more 00:18 aggressive demeanour and then while this 00:20 particular example is not fitted with 00:22 them stainless steel accents are 00:24 available for the base of the bumper 00:26 moving on to the back here where the 00:28 stainless steel bumper accents are also 00:30 available the most notable change to the 00:33 rear is that the makan receives this 00:34 wraparound rear taillight design akin to 00:36 what you'll find on the Cayenne in 00:38 Panamera finally there are a few new 00:40 color options for 2019 including Miami 00:43 blue chalk and this mamba green color as 00:46 for the interior the makan receives a 00:48 new ten point nine inch infotainment 00:50 screen running the latest version of the 00:52 Porsche communication management system 00:54 now with standard navigation in order to 00:56 incorporate the change the air vents 00:57 have been moved from either side of the 00:59 screen to the area below it 01:01 and finally also new for 2019 is an 01:04 available GT sports steering wheel that 01:06 you might already be familiar with from 01:08 the 911 all of these updates represent a 01:10 number of improvements to what is 01:12 already one of the most engaging SUVs on 01:14 the market 01:15 expect the refresh makaan to hit 01:17 dealerships here in the US in the summer 01:19 of 2019 - advertisement spot 2018
