I was kind of disappointed as well. I wonder if it is just miscalculations since one of the Macan developers indicated 150kg less than the Q5. Although, the base Q5 weighs in around ~4,000 lbs while the SQ5 is around 4,400 lbs. Maybe the Chinese miscalculated? (is that even possible?)

200 lbs weight savings between the Macan Turbo and the SQ5 is pretty good in my opinion, since the SQ5 is the CUV range-topper at the moment.

The one funny thing that has come out of that leaked spec sheet is all of the "ZOMG, Macan Diesel has more torque than the Turbo, why is it slower!!?!? Something isn't right!" threads. :facepalm:
