I was looking at a new Cayenne to replace my Range Rover, but having read about the Macan I will probably hang on.
I will be very interested to read about engines and specs of the Macans as it looks a fantastic package of style, performance and practicality with the quality of Porsche.
thanks for having me again
hello

Welcome Oscar. I had both side by side earlier this year and while the Cayenne felt huge and offered a huge space and comfort, I somehow always ended up getting into the Macan.
The driving experience is simply better but both great cars…

Welcome to the forum.
Coming from a Range Rover, the size of a Cayenne will probably not bother you. The Macan has much sportier handling and can match most Cayennes for acceleration with a smaller (and more economic) engine.
AS Jon says, they're both great cars.

The Macan is a smaller car than both RR and Cayenne. So if the extra space is required, I wouldn’t bother with a Macan.
The Macan however, being smaller, will IMHO be the better road car. In Mk3 S or GTS guise it isn’t slow, and can be better placed on the road than the bigger cars can be. And in the real world will be just as quick as any V8 powered RR or Cayenne.

Welcome.
Visit as many OPC’s as you can and try the S and GTS.
As has been said space is at a premium in a Macan so it depends upon your lifestyle if it is a suitable car for you.
A Macan will handle vastly better than a RR but even on Air Suspension the ride will be a bit harder than that of your RR, not vastly so just harder and more precise.
If you do visit OPC’s do ask each one their wait times for both the S and GTS models, they could be vast differences.
£3k places a fully refundable deposit until the spec is Locked Down which is not necessary until 6-8 weeks prior to the allocated build date. Once built delivery can be 10-60 days thereafter, but 20 days is a reasonable guess and the probable period.
Placing a deposit for any Porsche gives you an invite to the PEC at Silverstone where you can put the model through its paces on a variety of tracks.
Good Luck

Welcome
I think any Porsche you choose will handle better than a RR., we assume because you are looking at a cayenne you have one of the barge versions of the RR
