Get high with the new Porsche Macan as it tests in Lesotho

We could see the production version as early as this month.

Cars are Andrew's jam, as is strawberry. After spending years as a regular ol' car fanatic, he started working his way through the echelons of the automotive industry, starting out as social-media director of a small European-focused garage outside of Chicago. From there, he moved to the editorial side, penning several written features in Total 911 Magazine before becoming a full-time auto writer, first for a local Chicago outlet and then for CNET Cars.

The sport-utes were taken to heights of 3,400 meters, or about 11,000 feet.

The camouflage is light, which suggests that this is a hefty refresh for the Macan and not a new generation.

Debuting in the US in the 2015 model year, it still seems a bit too soon for the Macan to get a whole new body.

Any changes will likely be modeled after the changes we saw on its bigger brother, the Cayenne, for the 2019 model year.

A facelift is all but guaranteed, and it will likely adopt the latest generation of Porsche's PCM infotainment system, as well.
