Product Overview

Porsche Macan (Type 95B) facelift is a compact crossover in production from 2021. It is available with a range of inline-4 and V6 engines that displaced 2.0 to 2.9 liters.
Compared to the pre-facelift Macan, the facelifted model has major cosmetic updates, though the engines remained largely the same.
While the car is marketed as an "SUV", it is a high-performance crossover that gives hot hatches a run for their money but is nonsensical otherwise.

External Reviews

Reviewer score 68% (normalized by Neofiliac)
Reviewers from autocar have found:
The 2.0-litre has been given a mild facelift that will take it through to retirement, some time after the launch of the all-new Macan EV. Even in base form, and without air springs or active dampers, the Macan’s dynamic performance remains hugely impressive. The four-cylinder engine provides impressive urge but not much in the way of experience.
Pros
  • Powerful turbocharged engine
  • Comfortable to drive
  • Decent standard equipment
Cons
  • Pricier than rivals
  • No automatic gearbox

Reviewers from autoexpress have found:
The Macan entered production in 2014, and 350,000 had been sold by 2018 when the car was facelifted for the first time. 2021 brought about another mild refresh, and although there’s a brand new electric Macan in the works next year, Porsche has confirmed this existing model will be sold alongside the new Macan EV for as long as enough people want to buy it. The Macan swims in a very talented pool, and rivals the Jaguar F-Pace, Range Rover Evoque, BMW X3, Audi Q5 and Mercedes GLC.
Pros
  • Best-looking SUV on the market
  • Best-in-class handling
Cons
  • Not as practical as rivals
  • Not as fun to drive as rivals
