Rear subframe, same as Q5 8R?

[mark.carter]

Does anyone know for sure if the rear subframe is the same on the Q5 (8R version) as it is on the Macan 95B?

Thanks in advance.

Don’t know about specific references but yes, all Macan’s are based on about a 2010/11 Q5 platform.

This thread from the forum in 2014 is relevant and suggests the rear subframe is unlikely to be the same:-
