The stylish Macan brings proven Porsche values
of maximum acceleration and braking
performance, vast engine power, extreme agility,
and optimum steering precision, for the first
time to the compact sports utility vehicle (SUV)
segment. And what's more, all of these features
are combined with a high level of comfort and
versatility.
Macan S Diesel and the Macan Turbo. Technical
highlights include Porsche Traction
Management (PTM), active all-wheel drive, and
the Porsche PDK double-clutch transmission,
fitted as standard. The body conceals highly
efficient six-cylinder engines, which provide
powerful propulsion, while achieving favourable
fuel consumption figures.
As the first Porsche in the compact SUV
segment, the Macan has set new standards in
terms of dynamic performance, on both paved
streets and uneven terrain. This is because the
Macan combines the typical handling
characteristics that Porsche has represented
right from the outset. The sporting DNA of the
Macan, as with all Porsche vehicles, is
immediately recognisable in the design, with
several styling cues reminiscent of the 911
coupe and 918 super sports cars – yet then
enhanced for the Macan. It is therefore clear
to see from the very first glance that the Porsche
Macan is the first compact SUV that is also a
sports car.
The Macan S is powered by a 3.0-litre V6 biturbo engine that delivers 340 hp (250 kW),
accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 5.2 seconds,
and returns up to 32.5 mpg (NEDC). The 3.6litre V6 bi-turbo engine in the Macan Turbo
produces 400 hp (294 kW) and accelerates the
vehicle to 62 mph in 4.8 seconds,
with an average fuel consumption of up to 31.7
mpg (NEDC). With a turbocharged 3.0-litre V6
diesel engine and 258 hp (190 kW), the Macan
S Diesel is the long-distance sports car. The
engine accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 6.3
seconds, and returns an average of 46.3 mpg
(NEDC).
Since its spring launch, the Macan has been
available in three versions: the Macan S, the
The Macan models are available from Porsche
Centre Tonbridge and are priced from £43,300
to £59,300. For more details, call 01732
