Porsche Macan Turbo MSRP

• 2014 Porsche Macan starts at $50, 895 with shipping
• High-performance Macan Turbo begins around $73, 000
• Both models priced well below Cayenne trims with similar performance

Porsche has actually officially established pricing for its future Macan crossover. The brand recently disclosed that the sporty Macan S will start at $50, 895 including destination, while base rates for high-performance Macan Turbo will top $73, 000 with shipping. Both models continue purchase this springtime.

Initially, the Macan's near-$51, 000 entry cost may seem steep. Associated with that the compact crossover starts $300 above the base price of Porsche's bigger Cayenne SUV - a move that'll trigger some shoppers to boost their particular eyebrows, thinking about the Macan's size.

Although Macan's pricing has actually more to do with overall performance than sizing. Entry-level Macan designs boast the Macan S designation, meaning the SUV is a closer rival to your mid-level Cayenne S rather than the base-level Cayenne. That's proven with speed figures: The 340-horsepower Macan S achieves 60 kilometers per hour in just 5.2 seconds, beating out both base-level Cayenne (300 hp; 0-to-60 mph in 7.1 seconds) together with Cayenne S (400 hp; 0-to-60 mph in 5.6 seconds). The Cayenne S begins around $67, 800 with shipping.

When it comes to Macan Turbo, it packs an astonishing 400 hp in its $73, 000 base price. The effect is a 0-to-60-mph period of simply 4.4 moments, which rivals the high-performance, 500-hp Cayenne Turbo - an SUV that starts above $111, 000 with shipping.

Quite simply, the Macan S and Macan Turbo boast an excellent value in the world of Porsche SUVs. Truly the only problem is that some drivers don't discover brand new SUVs big enough for families and luggage. The Cayenne is about six ins longer than the Macan and around four ins bigger, and neither SUV provides third-row sitting.

Still, Porsche fans will value the Macan for supplying almost every little thing the Cayenne does in a smaller sized, more affordable package. It still boasts standard all-wheel drive, standard Porsche styling and - presumably - typical Porsche razor-sharp managing. Based on the brand name's on the web configurator, the Macan comes with Porsche's typical long selection of recommended extras.

What it indicates to you: The 2014 Porsche Macan provides a less expensive accept the Porsche SUV - so we would not be surprised to see a far more affordable base model get to dealers after the Macan S and Macan Turbo.
