Speed, precision, comfort, usability and off-road capabilities in the smallest possible dimensions. The Macan has a length close to 4.7 meters with a huge wheelbase of 2.8 meters that has a balanced hand just like the Cayenne but with less volume and lower surfaces to manage compared to the large bodies of other models, so any design choice is measured with substance and meaning.
