The 2019 Porsche Macan's features new LED headlights with signature four-LED fixtures each, bigger air intakes near the radiator grille, and sleek LED strips that double up as turn indicators. In the side profile and at the tail-end, the refreshed SUV sports a new set of alloy wheels and a three-dimensional LED light panel, respectively.

The Macan is now available in four new exterior paint options - Mamba Green Metallic, Dolomite Silver Metallic, Miami Blue and Crayon. On the inside, the MY2019 looks a lot like its earlier iteration. Changes are restricted to a new 10.9-inch touchscreen infotainment system, electric seats with memory for 14 settings, heated front windshield, and an air ioniser for the climate control.
The Thailand-spec 2019 Porsche Macan is powered by a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine that outputs a maximum power 252 hp. The motor comes paired with a 7-speed PDK gearbox that sends power to all wheels. The powertrain's average fuel consumption is rated at 12.3 km/l. The refreshed SUV is underpinned by an updated chassis that boosts the comfort levels and the dynamics of the baby Cayenne, claims Porsche.
