Is the Macan the same car as the audi q5, or sq5?

Shopping for my wife and want to test drive something of similar size

Similar size as it's a similar body shell. But not the same car. Driving an SQ5 should give you a good flavor of what a Macan S will be like. Then turn up the sportiness.

Macan Turbo has no equivalent.

They are the same platform just like the Cayenne/Q7/TReg are the same platform. As you can see with its big sister, though, there is still a world of difference between them based on how they are finished off.

+1 if you read the press; its the "same" basic chassis MLB that the VW group developed that the Q5 etc share, however there it ends ... engine, transmission, suspension, trim etc etc are all different... I agree S!5 will be closest experience
