Based on the Volkswagen's famous MLB platform, the Macan will get the LED-infused headlights, a sloping roofline and curvaceous bodywork.

The interiors of the 2014 Macan resembles the Cayenne, and it comes equipped with a three-spoke steering wheel, dashboard and centre console. The vehicle also has dark trim, metallic accents and a large infotainment system.
