The new Porsche Macan is planned to become the German marque's best-selling model, and will launch in April to take on the likes of the BMW X3, and the forthcoming X4, and Range Rover Evoque in Europe.

The car may be based on the Audi Q5 platform, but company engineers believe they have done enough to make the Macan very different to drive. It is sharp enough, they say, for the Macan to be called a 'sports car'. We take to the passenger seat with Porsche's engineers to find out if the Macan can live up to the hype.
