Porsche has unveiled the production version of its new Macan SUV. The Macan will be Porsche's second SUV, and overall its fifth model on sale. The Macan is built on Audi's Q5 platform and rolls out from Porsche's Leipzig factory. Porsche has launched the Macan in India at a starting price of Rs 98.18 lakh.
The reason cited for this astronomical price is that the Macan comes fitted with things that Porsche usually sells as very expensive optional extras. Let's take a look at how much promise the new Macan holds.
