Hi

Some say SUV, some say Estate, is there any difference?

I'm guessing both the same.

All SUVs have higher centre of gravity and none drive as well as a lower slung estate. The Macan comes close, credit to Porsche engineering.

^ No. There's just one shape/style of Macan. More usually called an SUV.

no it's a slightly higher uber hot hatch
Just compare the size of a Mac to a F*** Focus RS
RS Dimensions: 4,672 mm L x 1,825-1,844 mm W x 1,458-1,502 mm H
Macan Dimensions: 4,696 mm L x 1,923-1,926 mm W x 1,624 mm H

Some websites call the Macan an "Estate"

Which I would say was not correct....

The DVLA sees the Macan as an estate (check your V5), everyone else sees it as an SUV.

The Macan is one of those rare SUVs where the "Sport" in Sport Utility Vehicle actually means something.
