Porsche showed off the 2019 Macan today in a series of teaser images, as well as a video. Both show the small SUV undergoing high-altitude testing in Lesotho, a landlocked country encircled by South Africa. The sport-utes were taken to heights of 3,400 meters, or about 11,000 feet.

The camouflage is light, which suggests that this is a hefty refresh for the Macan and not a new generation. To that end, Porsche's teaser says the car has been heavily revised, but it stops short of calling it a new generation. Any changes will likely be modeled after the changes we saw on its bigger brother, the Cayenne, for the 2019 model year. A quick glance at the Macan's body doesn't reveal much, thanks largely to Porsche's camouflage trickery, which involves pasting the last car's headlights and taillights over the new ones.
