2019 Base can be configured online now.

Interesting.... If this is true, I greatly prefer the look of the base 2019 Macan to the 2019 turbo Macan in these pics...

Is Navigation standard on 2019s? I didn't see it among the options, but though that maybe they hadn't pinned down all of the details on the configurator yet. Thanks!

Sure looks like it from the configurator standard equipment list:

Porsche Communication Management* (PCM) incl. navigation module, mobile phone preparation, audio interfaces, and voice control system
Connect Plus* incl. online navigation module, LTE telephone module with SIM card reader, wireless internet access and Porsche Car Connect, incl. numerous Porsche Connect services

Good catch! I lost that in the fine print. It's the right move; a vehicle at this price point should include navigation. It seemed silly and expensive as an option.

Porsche has updated the list of standard features, correcting some errors that I had pointed out, in their online configurator for the 2019 base Macan.
These include: changing of the size of the center-console computer screen from the old 7 inches to the new 10.8 inches; adding back the "ParkAssist (front and rear) with reversing camera" (which had been left out by accident).
They also include the addition as standard of these items: floor mats; analog clock on the center dashboard.
I hope that the list is now 100% accurate, but I still have my doubts.

I built my 2018 really bare bones. The online configurator didn't show rear tint, clock, or floor mats as coming with the vehicle, but mine came with all that stuff without any options package specified.

Was this a base Macan?
That's very useful information, thanks! I tend to put very little in the way of options into my Porsches, also, because I think they come fine in "standard" form. I add things like exterior paint, adaptive cruise control, and LCA, but not much more than that. The nice thing about Porsche is that they allow you to really customize your car a lot; the bad thing is that the options tend to be overly expensive.

Yeah, 2.0 4 cylinder base.

I think that it is useless. Even if it is standard you're still paying for it. I have had navigation in nearly every car since 2005 and never (OK, very rarely) use it. Navigation on a smart phone will always be more current and useful.

I don't use "navigation instructions", but I use maps all the time and do my own navigating via reading maps and looking at traffic flow on Google Maps.
I have a 2018 Panamera, with the fabulous new computer screen, and the map is absolutely superb (though the traffic-flow colors are pathetic, and I still use Google Maps on iPhone and iMac to look at traffic flow). I use the map on my central screen whenever I need help with getting to where I'm going; it's big, bright, and clear. Best map screen in a car that I've ever seen, and much better than in the old Panamera (and pre-2019 Macan/Cayenne). But they're putting this new map screen into the 2019 Macan (and Cayenne), which is a huge draw to me. It really is a hugely different screen from the old Macans -- much better.

I was told by my dealer that my base has the navigation, but it's disabled since I didn't pay for it. Seems to make sense that they would just make that **** standard if it's already being included. Not that I use the factory nav in any of my cars.

cometguy

Well, starting with MY 2019, all Cayennes and Macans will have the same new computer-screen system that the 2018 Panamera has, and this means maps and navigation are standard features across all models, as of 2019.
