保时捷开发Macan中期改款车已经有一段时间了，不过车厂并未透露新车任何细节。最近外媒披露了该车更多细节，这款车目前正在南非进行测试。首先，也是最重要的，新车动力系统：入门级车型仍将继续搭载那台2.0升涡轮增压汽油引擎，但功率将大幅飙升52马力，从原来的248马力提升至接近300马力。如果想要动力更强劲的车型，可以选择MacanS，该车搭载3.0升V6引擎，这台取自帕纳梅拉的引擎预计功率可达355马力，比老款车的335马力增加了20马力。这将使该车动力接近更具运动特性的GTS版本。不过，保时捷有它的解决之道——新款GTS将进一步升级使其与Macan S之间有“合理的空间”。至于顶级款MacanTurbo，该车与MacanS搭载相同引擎，但那台2.9升引擎功率将提升至434马力，比搭载3.6升引擎的现行版增加了40马力。外媒还报道称，新车不会提供柴油引擎，另外不会有混动版本。新车内装也将获得大幅提升，正如先前谍照所显示的那样，信息娱乐系统将搭配更大尺寸显示屏。由于显示屏尺寸增加，迫使车厂将中置的空调出风口挪到中控台更低的位置，同时改变中控台形状以便能适合这种安排。2019款保时捷Macan预计将于今年晚些时候发布。
2019 Porsche Macan Facelift Getting More Power Across The Range
Porsche has been working on a mid-cycle refresh for its smaller SUV for quite some time and although the company headquartered in Stuttgart hasn’t issued a press release talking about the Macan facelift, we now have juicy details about what the 2019 model year will bring. Autocar had the chance to hop inside the revised version and go for a test drive in South Africa.
First things first: power. The base model continues to use a turbocharged 2.0-liter gasoline engine, but output has dramatically increased by 52 horsepower from 248 hp to nearly 300 hp. Should you need more muscle, you’ll have to step up to the Macan S, which will use a 3.0-liter V6 sourced from the Panamera and expected to deliver 355 hp, which would represent a nice bump of 20 hp compared to the outgoing model’s 335 hp. With 355 hp on tap, the Macan S facelift will get dangerously close to the sportier GTS, but Porsche has a solution - the next Macan GTS will be upgraded in order to be positioned at a “respectable distance" above the S model.
As for the top-dog Macan Turbo, it will feature just about the same engine as the Macan S, but in a 2.9-liter flavor to unlock a meaty 434 hp or 40 hp more than the 3.6-liter unit powering the current version. Autocar is reporting the refreshed Macan won’t be offered with a diesel engine after all, while those rumors pointing towards the availability of a hybrid version for the crossover’s current generation won’t materialize.
Aside from making some pretty big changes underneath the hood, Porsche has fiddled with the suspension by giving it aluminum uprights to shave off weight. A boost in ride quality is also planned, along with tweaked handling, and optional tungsten-coated brakes featuring white calipers. In typical Porsche fashion, exterior styling revisions will be minor and will include discreetly modified headlights and taillights along with redesign bumpers.
More significant modifications will occur inside the cabin where the 2019 Macan facelift will feature a bigger display for the infotainment system as evidenced in our spy shot above. Making the screen larger will force Porsche to move the central air vents lower on the center console and change their shape to better suit the new arrangement.
An official reveal of the 2019 Porsche Macan is expected to take place later this year.
