Macan (gen2) and next gen Cayenne estimated release dates?
Discussion
I know nothing official from Porsche yet but wondering if anybody has a good idea when the current Macan will get replaced with the Gen2 model and also when the new Cayenne will be launched which I guess will be reasonably soon.
I have a Macan on order (not locked down yet) but getting the jitters before I confirm spec that the current Macan may get replaced within 12-18 months with the gen2 model, thinking maybe a new shape Cayenne might be the safer bet (especially if it has all the new Panamera tech, etc).

I don't think there's any word on the Macan but with current strong sales who knows ? It's certainly the model due one.
Couple of poasts int his thread about the Cayenne http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...
As I said in there I've been told we won't be seeing Cayenne's until 2018 although apparently launch slated for October 2017.

A 'facelift' is normally very subtle and generally arrives about 4-5 years into the model's life - so, 2019 MY for the Macan?
The next Cayenne will be an 'all new' Gen 3 model. This was expected for Geneva 2017, but this seems to have gone a bit quiet with not much clear info on the internet, so later in 2017 now looks more likely.

Both Gen 1 and (current) Gen 2 Cayennes had Porsche's typical lifecycle of 7-8 years, so on that basis the all new Macan would be 2021ish, with a facelift in 2018/19ish.
However, probably better to choose the car you need rather than worrying about model updates, which is a continuous process. I suspect the Gen 3 Cayenne will be a bit bigger to separate it from the Macan, which may be important to some buyers. I'd assume the Macan would be the more 'sporting' option.

Thanks for the responses. Sounds like the Cayenne and Gen2 GT3 will be launched sometime this year, so maybe the facelift Macan will be at Geneva 2018 or later with deliveries late 2018 / early 2019. As somebody said as it's just a facelift any changes should be subtle and also I guess it won't have the latest tech / sat nav screens like the Panamera as that would mean a major overhaul of the dash / centre console. Will be very interested to see the new Cayenne, should be a fantastic car.
They've just extended the Platinum Editions to the Diesel S which corroborates not seeing the new one this year. They won't have launched that for a three or four month selling period so I think that means they'll be building the current Cayenne at least until Q3....allowing for the standard few months it takes to switch production it's definitely not coming this year which is what I was told before Xmas. I think with the Panamera there was a six to nine month gap between the New and old model.
