New Porsche Macan Price

evo Verdict

The Macan is a silly thing. Half huge hot hatch and one half child Cayenne, it’s an awkward mash-up of a car that ends up delivering a more interesting driving experience than you might anticipate.

Constructed on VW group’s MLB system, the Macan stocks around a third of the underbody elements with an Audi Q5. The driving knowledge, but feels distinctly Porsche, with an emphasis on discussion and enjoyment, as opposed to the load-lugging strategy regarding the Q5.

Porsche did challenging mask the Macan's size and level, utilizing the car exhibiting decent roll control and a steering setup that brings appropriate interaction. Choose the driver-focussed Macan GTS and things improve nevertheless, although do not for an extra believe the Macan comes near to a non-SUV Porsche for motorist involvement.

The Macan ticks all the standard SUV boxes by offering an array of engines, from a 3-litre turbodiesel V6 to extracted from Audi, to a more effective 394bhp twin-turbo petrol V6.

Eventually, it is a well-rounded bundle with a price point that will likely see potential buyers of specced-up X3s and Q5s jumping ship the Porsche badge.

Although it’s no 911, the Macan is sharper than its rivals, like the Cayenne. It'sn’t a suitable low rider, however it’s the nearest we’ve ever before seen an SUV started to one.

evo remark

'The Macan Turbo may be the only SUV that I’ve ever before actually liked operating at rate. Porsche established this car at its Leipzig factory and now we were welcomed to-drive the car on short test circuit. Each morning the circuit ended up being wet and Turbo would in fact powerslide through corners, thanks in part to its torque vectoring system.

That’s entirely unimportant within the real world, needless to say, but it does discuss about it a level of agility that marks the Macan from its competitors.'
