21st November, 2013
Porsche is expanding its range to include a compact SUV. The Macan is the
first Porsche to compete in the vital compact SUV segment.
Like its competitors, Macan aims to combine suitable handling characteristics with appropriate acceleration,
braking, engine power, agility and steering qualities. These features are teamed with comfort and everyday suitability.
The sporty 'DNA' of the Macan is also recognisable in the design. The wraparound bonnet and gently sloping roof line
provide the impression of sporty elegance and powerful dynamics. Many of the design elements have been taken from other
Porsche vehicles, making it clear to see from the first glance that the Porsche Macan is a serious effort by the German
brand into the compact SUV segment.
The Macan is “Made in Germany", being made at the Leipzig plant.
Porsche has invested 500 million euro in the plant and has established an entire production line there. The line is
set up to produce around 50,000 vehicles per year.
Three models comprise the Macan range at market launch. The Macan S is equipped with a 3.0-litre V6 twin turbo engine
delivering 250 kW (340 bhp) and also features active all-wheel drive with an electronically controlled, map-controlled
multi-plate clutch. This all-wheel drive is fitted on all Macan models.
A seven-speed double-clutch transmission transfers power as required, enabling the Macan S to accelerate from 0 to 100
km/h in 5.4 seconds (or 5.2 seconds with the optional Sport Chrono package). The Macan S has a top speed of 254 km/h, and
its NEDC fuel consumption ratings are between 9.0 and 8.7 litres/100 km, which corresponds to a CO2 emissions level of
between a somewhat high 212 and 204 g/km.
The Macan S Diesel is the economical version of the three Macan models. Its 3.0-litre V6 turbo diesel engine achieves
an NEDC fuel consumption ratings between 6.3 and 6.1 litres/100 km, which corresponds to a CO2 value of between 164 and
159 g/km. The Macan S Diesel accelerates from 0 to 100 km in 6.3 seconds (or 6.1 seconds with the Sport Chrono package)
thanks to its 190 kW (258 bhp) engine.
As the top model in the Macan model line, the Macan Turbo is set to be the most powerful vehicle in the compact SUV
segment. The 3.6-litre V6 twin turbo engine, which is being used in a Porsche model for the very first time, achieves an
unrivalled 294 kW (400 bhp) and provides the Macan Turbo with a 0 to 100 km/h time of in 4.8 seconds. With the Sport
Chrono package fitted, it is possible to achieve that sprint in 4.6 seconds. Although the top speed is 266 km/h, the
Macan Turbo delivers NEDC fuel consumption ratings of between just 9.2 and 8.9 litres/100 km, which equates to a CO2
value of between 216 and 208 g/km.
The name ‘Macan’ comes from the Indonesian word for tiger.
A glance at the performance specifications reveals that the Macan has been designed with agility in mind. The engines,
drive systems and seven-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) bring the Macan’s characteristics to bear in a dynamic fashion
both on- and off-road.
The range of standard equipment fitted on the Macan is extensive, and includes the all-wheel drive, PDK,
multi-function sport steering wheel with shift paddles, large wheels, high-performance audio system and an electrically
operated tailgate. The list of optional special equipment offers further highlights, such as air suspension system. There
is also Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus), which has been specially tailored to the Macan. This system distributes
varying levels of drive torque to the rear wheels and works in conjunction with an electronically controlled rear-axle
differential lock. Also available is Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus (PDLS Plus), which continuously adjusts the
headlight level in keeping with the traffic ahead and any oncoming traffic.
The new Macan S, Macan S Diesel and Macan Turbo go on sale in Australia during mid-2014. Stay tuned to Next Car
for Australian pricing and release details in the time ahead.
