I've driven both the Porsche Cayenne and Macan multiple times, with the main differences being size and space. The Cayenne is a full-size SUV, significantly longer and wider, offering super spacious interiors. The five-seater version has ample rear legroom, making family trips comfortable, and the trunk can easily accommodate luggage or dog crates. The Macan is much more compact, resembling a raised coupe, with slightly cramped rear seats where adults' knees may touch the front seats, and the trunk fills up quickly with just two suitcases. In terms of driving experience, the Cayenne is as stable as an ox, providing comfort on long highway drives, while the Macan is nimble and agile, perfect for city turns. Price-wise, the Cayenne starts several hundred thousand yuan higher and consumes more fuel, though maintenance costs are similarly expensive. If you frequently travel with family or go camping, the Cayenne is more practical; for singles or couples commuting daily, the Macan is a cool and hassle-free choice.
