Default Next DD SUV?

I love my Macan S (my second), but with Porsche apparently stoping ICE Macan production next year, I need to find an alternative. I’d consider buying the last ICE Macan, but it is already overdue for a face lift. Anyone have a ‘sporty” suv that they would recommend? I’m thinking maybe an SQ5, but I’ve never driven one. I’m not ready for an EV yet and would like at least one more ICE DD before I have no choice.

How about a wagon instead of an SUV?
New 2025 Audi A6 allroad For Sale at Audi York | VIN: WAU92BF24SN010913

I ended up getting a subaru outback wilderness due to ground clearance and tow capacity. I seriously considered either an A4 or A6 wagon. I think they are gorgeous.

I'd recommend something old enough to avoid being on the insurance naughty list and off the carjacker's radar...

Those aren’t bad looking, but I like the height of an SUV for bumper-to-bumper highway commuting. With so many idiots on the road I like seeing a few cars ahead of me.

I went wagon as a replacement to my Macan because kids are now teenagers and need more room. Had I gone SUV, probably would have done a Cayenne Coupe.

I have a cayenne gts 2025 in order to replace my 2017

We sold my wife macan S this summer. She liked the size but at 5ft11 with 2 smalls kids, it was too small for me.

Im pushing her over a new tesla 3 but she said its too big

Maybe new ev macan? Maybe its bigger inside?

I’m 6 ft even and have no problem fitting in my Macan? No kids in the back though…

I hope I never have to buy an EV.

Give ‘em a few more years and they’ll never want to be seen with you in or out of a car 😂

I had the same dilemma and in the end I just picked up an Urus, sorry I meant a face lifted 2024 Audi Q8 😆

Beautiful! There are 3 of those on the route where I walk my dogs and they are really great looking SUVs. That would be a consideration for sure.
