We are in Hamburg, Germany with Porsche for a press release and the 2019 Porsche Macan driving experience. If you are looking for the nearest rider with a crossover to a sports car then you are reading the correct article.
The Porsche Macan can easily be described as a more practical 911. That is the good thing this car is driving and on this trip, this car has impressed me on city streets, windy rural roads, and on the Autobahn. It makes sense that Porsche uses the name Macan, which means tiger in Indonesian, to highlight the pure driving performance that you will get from this crossover.

Exterior
Tigers are always better looking relatives compared to Cayenne. Like all Porsche updates this year, the 2019 Macan looks almost the same and that's a good thing because it already looks good. From the front you might not know it's new. Porsche always does this, to stay true to Porsche style, you can always tell Porsche from afar, not only that, you can always know the Porsche you see.
For the 2019 Tigers get a new front and rear bumper with larger air intake vents in front, new LED headlamps with 4 DRL LEDs and special colors to choose from. Two that stand out immediately are Mamba Green and Miami Blue.
The back of the all-new Tiger gets the biggest change in 2019 with the Porsche trademark 3D red light bar behind which is now used in 911, Panamera and Cayenne. With the name Porsche also spelled there in 3D letters. This is similar to what we get at the 2019 Cayenne, although I prefer the way the Porsche name behind the Cayenne is under glass, for two reasons. First, it looks more sophisticated and secondly it makes it less prone to attract dust between the letter's garden, making it easier to clean.
Inland
Inside is the place of the most changes, as you would expect from any Porsche the interior of the Tigers is well made and made of quality materials with so many choices for you to customize and add things like carbon fiber, Alcantara and also if you want beautiful roof.
But for me the most important change here is replacing the old 7-inch infotainment screen with a new 10.9-inch high-definition screen which takes up most of the space in the center of the dashboard. It forced the Porsche engineer to move the AC vents from the side of the screen on the previous model down on this one. This touch screen supports Porsche Communication Management PCM which allows you to control all your infotainment and systems on the Tiger. It also connects online via an LTE connection to give you instant updates when needed and supports things like Google Maps navigation.
The center console holds the gear lever and a number of buttons. Yes, it's buttons, buttons, and other buttons. But wait, although this makes the Tigers look a bit outdated compared to other 2019 vehicles and even Cayenne in this regard, the use of buttons has the advantage that I only feel when driving a Tiger for a long period of time. With buttons you tend to gain muscle memory so you can reach certain keys without the need to see them at all, with almost every important feature on the Mac having its own button, you can activate it without needing to go through many menus or submenus in this case in a more modern screen-based design .
