New 2.0-liter Turbo Engine Delivers 180 kW (240 PS) and 370 Nm
The new Macan is powered by a 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder turbo engine producing a maximum output of 180 kW (240 PS) and peak torque of 370 Nm. Paired with a seven-speed PDK transmission driving all four wheels, it achieves 0-100 km/h in 6.7 seconds and a top speed of 225 km/h. Thanks to advanced combustion technology and a particulate filter, it achieves an NEDC fuel economy of 8.1 l/100 km (approximately 12.3 km/l).
The newly tuned chassis enhances the Macan's driving comfort and enjoyment. Its performance-oriented tires, with different front and rear sizes like a sports car, provide excellent lateral grip. Standard wheels are 18 inches, with 21-inch options available.
All lighting is full LED as standard. The new design of the front headlights offers optional Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus (PDLS Plus) for adaptive beam control. The rear features a distinctive 3D four-point brake light design. The front end presents a wider impression, and four new body colors have been introduced: Mamba Green, Dolomite Silver Metallic, Miami Blue, and Crayon.
Inside, the full HD touchscreen for the Porsche Communication Management (PCM) system has been enlarged from 7.1 inches to 10.9 inches. Similar to the higher-end Panamera and Cayenne models, the PCM screen can be customized to the driver's preferences. Standard features include online navigation with real-time data from the cloud, a mobile phone connection system, two audio interfaces, and voice control. The Offroad Precision app, when connected to a smartphone, allows for the recording of off-road driving data.
Optional equipment includes the "Sport Chrono Package" with a GT sport steering wheel featuring a Sport Response button, similar to the Porsche 911. The "Traffic Jam Assist" system semi-automatically handles acceleration and braking up to 60 km/h while maintaining the lane. An ionizer with a heated windshield and particulate air filter is also available to improve cabin air quality.
