No one expected the Macan and SQ5 to cost the same. But if you are careful, you can get a nicely optioned Macan for the price of many SQ5s. I can easily do without the lane departure and adaptive cruise control wizardry (I'm the driver), don't want the sunroof or the 21" boy-racer wheels, and still get the NAV, adjustable suspension, heated seats and more, plus some cool bling like the Porsche emblem hub caps and the dash mounted compass. An SUV with the cachet and racing heritage of Porsche. The one to buy right now is the SQ5, because we can, but what about a year from now.
my Macan turbo build in canada 104315, and 91600 in the USA. WTF shame on Porsche. Why is audi a 5.4% premium in canada yet ****ing porsche is a 13.8% premium..... Porsche may sell in the states...but in Canada...this is a case of porsche pricing helping to sell more audis... freaking BS pricing. Im closer to an sq5 after seeing this. If Porsche had a 5.4% premium that Macan would be a more reasonable 96546.....I salute Audi for bring nearer to parity. the 1000 dollars canadians get shafted for delivery vs USA is not included...or the 13% tax. Thats just more pain vs the above. |

And people were giving me crap earlier for saying pricing b/w SQ5 and Macan S is close, in the U.S. It can be if you don't go crazy as Porsche let's you do.

The main reasons Canadian prices are higher is the exchange rate vs Euro (CAD is worth slightly less than USD), and volume of cars, which is a small fraction of that sold in US.

It's all about comparable equipment. Sure a base Macan can be had at a price not far above the SQ5, but add a few options that you want, and the price can soar. A fully loaded SQ5 is priced in the low 60's, while the Porsche Macan is significantly more.

Yeah, don't get the Canada/US thing. I configured a Macan S with every option I wanted and a few more that I could have done without except they came with a package for $67K. This included upgraded wheels, sound, seats, torque vectoring, NAV, and more, pretty close to the SQ5 USA price for your car. Of course, the Macan Turbo price is outrageous, but this may be the genius of Porsche's pricing. They sell a Macan that I can afford and also one any NFL player would be proud to have in his driveway.

I'm not even sure it's fair to say the SQ5 is a better value
