The compact-crossover segment is a densely populated one, and in 2015,
the room is going to get even more crowded with Porsche’s entry, the
Macan. As standard practice at Porsche dictates, a Porsche Macan for sale will also
be available. It’s Porsche’s prerogative to create the most powerful sports
car in every class they enter, and the crossover segment is no exception.
Much like how Porsche silenced the critics about putting an engine in the
back of their car, there were also doubts about Stuttgart’s SUV efforts.
Again, critics were silenced when the Cayenne turned up and performed
well beyond any expectations. Now, picture a Cayenne, but smaller. The
used Porsche Macan is every bit as capable, it just sports a smaller footprint. It comes powered by a 400 horsepower 3.6-liter twin-turbo V-6, which peaks out at
6,000 rpm. Pricing for the Turbo starts at just over $72,000, but as
Porsche’s standard practice also dictates, additional options add up and
can easily see the Macan Turbo to a price tag well over $100,000.

The Porsche Macan has become the gold standard of compact luxury Sport Utility Vehicles. The base model has a turbo four-cylinder engine with the option to upgrade to a V-6 with the S model. The standard four-cylinder generates a 248-horsepower, while the V-6 outputs 348-horsepower. Both Porsche Macan configurations come standard with a seven-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. Porsche opted to make several notable upgrades starting with the exterior. Those familiar with the Macan will take note of new wheel designs and reconfigured front and rear bumpers. Porsche also reworked the suspension to enhance performance and handling. Inside, the new Macan incorporates a new 10.9-inch touch-screen infotainment system.
