Product Overview

Porsche Macan (Typ 95B) is a mid-size crossover in production from 2014 to 2020, whereupon it received a facelift. It was available with a range of inline-4 and V6 engines that displaced 2.0 to 3.6 liters.
Those who drive offroad should keep in mind that the Macan is not designed for this purpose. Instead, it has a rather sporty suspension setup that offers great on-road performance.

External Reviews

Reviewer score 66% (normalized by Neofiliac)
Reviewers from autocar have found:
The 2.0-litre petrol Macan is designed to appeal to former Macan diesel customers. The engine is a VW unit, the same in most regards as that found in hot Golfs. It produces 242bhp in the Macan, it can generate as much as 306 bhp in a Golf. This, then, is the best-handling Macan I've driven.
Pros
  • Powerful petrol engine
  • Good looks
Cons
  • No automatic gearbox
  • Pricier than rivals

Reviewers from autoexpress have found:
The Porsche Macan has just been given a facelift. There's now a full-width LED tail-light bar at the back and new headlights. Inside you'll find a new 11-inch touchscreen display. The big news with this latest Macan is the removal of the huge-selling V6 diesel engine. Porsche now doesn't offer a single diesel across its entire line-up.
Pros
  • Gorgeous new interior
  • Excellent all-wheel-drive system
Cons
  • Pricier than rivals
  • No diesel option

Reviewers from cnet have found:
The 2019 Porsche Macan S has a high-power engine and all-wheel drive. The PCM infotainment system is capital-G Great. Apple CarPlay is available, but Porsche has deigned to charge owners for it. There are a number of choices in the compact luxury crossover segment.
Pros
  • Powerful engine
  • Comfortable ride
  • Excellent infotainment
Cons
  • No Android Auto
  • No head-up display

digitaltrends[4]

Reviewer score 70% (normalized by Neofiliac)
Reviewers from digitaltrends have found:
The 2019 Porsche Macan S is an excellent combination of performance and luxury. The Sport Chrono package includes Sport Response, a button on the steering wheel that recalibrates the engine and transmission for maximum thrust. The Macan floats over road imperfections like a true luxury car, yet feels taught and precise while cornering.
Pros
  • Powerful engines
  • Impressive handling
  • Comfortable ride
Cons
  • Lack of standard driver-assist tech
