i don't think the Macan has enough buttons in the center console.

I am afraid that steering in the X4 is not up to my standards. Still waiting for mine with 20" and adaptive dampers. Borrowed a DEMO with 19" and no adaptive dampers - not as good as my MY1997 SAAB 9000 with 18".

This is a good review for the X4 30d. I am surprised it compared this well to the Macan S Diesel.

Objective review, and based on the results, prefer the Macan for style most important performance. Aside from it's performance cannot understand the rational behind BMW offering the X4.

The P Macan is a re-skinned SQ5.
Waiting for the purist to call it a VW anyhow, i would rock a P Macan if i could afford it right now. Maybe a pre-owned in a few years...........maybe On the Video review:............If i see another auto journalist take "soft SUV's" down a dirt road, (where a Low rider could go from east LA) and tells us how great an off road these are...!?!? Im gonna commit a crime Both of these Suv's are for Mall Crawling...........period. Lets stop the Madness!!!

There's a guy that works near my office that owns new Macan, it looks like an smaller an uglier Cayenne.
Maybe there's a lot of people out there that wants a "smaller" SUV, but to me the Macan is just a Porsche built for who can't buy a Cayenne. The X4 it's the same thing compared to an X6, but it look even worse... |

And you can easily spec a much more expensive Macan than Cayenne, give it a try in the configurator. Last edited by Manbnda; 08-19-2014 at 08:00 PM.. |

I heard on NPR, Porsche, which 85% of its buyers are male, is trying to appeal more to female buyers with the macan.

Maybe just me, but I'm cross shopping these vehicles right now, and performance-wise, I would take the Macan, exterior styling - the SQ5, and interior - the X4. That said, the X4 is a distant 3rd overall - just don't get the overall design or that cargo space-cutting sloped roof.

If only Bimmer would gift us here in the States with an M5 wagon, or even a 335i... :'-(

While i detest 'performance' SUVs in general from any brand, i actually kind of like this Porsche tractor:
