Macan is actually longer and wider than a X3. Macan does have less cargo space with the slanted roof. But similar floor space, as I never stack stuff to the roof.

Both vehicles will definitely be cross-shopped, including with the SQ5.
base bare bones macan is 50kusd. a msport 35i is 48kusd. i sat in both at the latest autoshow, and the macan feels much smaller because its so low. also, they had a macan s on display, and once you add panroof, 20" wheels, nicer interior trim, the car jumps to 70k very fast.

i love the macan, but i would quicker get a loaded bmw than a base macan. my dad is actually looking at one since he is downsizing from his cayenne s and doesn't need the space. regardless, the macan isnt even an option for the OP because they are just coming out and nowhere near his price range.
