About the Porsche Macan
Developed with the same exhilaration and passion that has made Porsche an icon all over the world, the proven Macan achieves a balance between prestige and practicality. Instantly recognizable as a Porsche, the Macan stands out with its sophisticated styling and athletic stance on the road. Beneath the hood lies your choice of turbocharged engines including a potent 4-cylinder or muscular V6, further enhanced by the proven Porsche Traction Management (PTM) all-wheel drive system. Carefully crafted to position essential controls within easy reach of the driver, the premium cabin of the Macan features upscale materials along with the latest collection of driver-assist technologies.
The ultimate solution for drivers leading active lifestyles, the Porsche Macan is equally suited for both downtown boulevards and twisting mountain passes. No other luxury vehicle allows you to experience the thrills of a sports car along with the proven versatility of a compact SUV like the Macan.
What's New for 2024
Only minor adjustments have been made to the best-selling vehicle in the Porsche model lineup for the 2024 model year. This year, every Macan now comes standard with the previously optional Smartphone Compartment with Wireless Charging. Similarly, all trims now include the Driver Memory Package as standard equipment for 2024. Aside from those updates, the Porsche Macan is back for the new model year almost entirely unchanged from the prior year.
What the Critics Say
“Quickness is important in a crossover with sporting intentions, but we wouldn't be nearly as impressed with the Macan if it weren't for its all-around competence on the road. It feels remarkably like a sports sedan. The ride is wonderfully smooth and carefully controlled, and it's rare for a jolt from the pavement to make itself known to the driver.” — Car and Driver
“The Porsche Macan is a compact SUV with performance that lives up to the crest on its hood. The dream of the SUV that drives like a sports car is alive in the Macan in much the same way that it is in the bigger Cayenne. The difference is the Macan has a smaller footprint and less weight, making it more agile.” — Kelley Blue Book
