Compact luxury crossover SUV From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Porsche Macan

The Porsche Macan is a compact/mid-size crossover SUV (D-segment) produced by German manufacturer Porsche since 2014. It is the smaller SUV from Porsche below the Cayenne. The first-generation Macan went on production from February 2014 with petrol and diesel engine options. In 2024, Porsche released the second-generation Macan which is a battery electric vehicle built on the dedicated Premium Platform Electric (PPE) EV platform. The first-generation and second-generation Macan will be sold side-by-side, providing multiple powertrain options for consumers.

Initially announced in November 2010 as a development project,[3] and formally announced by Porsche in March 2011, the 'Macan' model name was decided in 2012 and is derived from the Indonesian word for tiger.[4][5] It was known by its code name Cajun, a portmanteau of Cayenne Junior or comes from a name of a member of ethnic group descended from Acadia living in the U.S. state of Louisiana (not to be confused with Porsche-Diesel Junior tractor).[6][7]

The production version of the Macan was unveiled at the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show[8][9] and 2013 Tokyo Motor Show.[10] European models went on sales in spring 2014 and the initial line-up of models included the Macan S and Macan Turbo.[11][12] U.S. market models arrived at dealerships in late spring 2014 as 2015 model year vehicle. Early models included Macan S and Macan Turbo.[13]

The Porsche Macan shares its platform and wheelbase with the first generation Audi Q5 (2008–2017).[14][15] The suspension configuration is based on, and heavily modified from the Audi,[citation needed] but the engine, transfer case, suspension tuning, interior and exterior body are unique to the Macan. It is also 1.7 in (43 mm) longer and 1.4 in (36 mm) wider than a Q5.[16]

The Macan is produced alongside the Panamera with which it shares a strong resemblance, in Leipzig, Germany in a newly extended factory.[17] The Macan is also intended to be 'sportier' than the Cayenne; for instance the Macan has a standard 7-speed dual-clutch PDK gearbox, which is more responsive, while the Cayenne has an 8-speed Tiptronic transmission for smoother shifts.[18][15]

In July 2018, Porsche announced that more than 350,000 units of the Macan have been delivered worldwide since 2014, with over 100,000 deliveries in the Chinese market alone.[19]

Drivetrain and performance

At launch, three different models and engines were available, all being V6 format:[20] a 3.0-litre Macan S with 340 PS (250 kW; 335 bhp), a 3.6-litre Macan Turbo with 400 PS (294 kW; 395 bhp) and a 3.0-litre, 258 PS (190 kW; 254 bhp) Diesel, with a CO2 emissions of 159 g/km. The Macan GTS was announced in October 2015 to fit into the gap between the Macan S and Macan Turbo.

All Macans feature a seven-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission and all-wheel drive, with several options available including air suspension and Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM).

Porsche subsequently released a base Macan for select Asian markets and the United Kingdom. Using a reworked version of the Volkswagen Group's 2.0-litre inline-four EA888 Gen 3 engine used in multiple applications such as the Volkswagen GTI, Audi Q5, the Macan was the first Porsche to be powered by a four-cylinder since the Porsche 968, just preceding the four-cylinder Porsche 718 (Boxster and Cayman). This engine became offered globally for the Macan's 2017 model year following an announcement in March 2016. A 204 PS (150 kW; 201 bhp), 2.0-litre four-cylinder diesel was due to join the range at a later date.[21] But this engine variant was never actually offered in any market worldwide.

The Macan S and Macan Turbo have 0–60 mph (0–97 km/h) times of 5.2 seconds and 4.6 seconds respectively.[22] Both times are improved by 0.2 sec when employing Launch Control (feature of the optional "Sport Chrono" package).[23]

Updates

2016 update

Changes to the Macan for 2016 include Porsche Communication Management system, optional full-LED headlights, redesigned steering controller, extended exterior and interior packages for Macan Turbo.

Macan GTS

The Macan GTS was unveiled at the 2015 Tokyo Motor Show. The vehicles went on sale at Porsche dealers in early 2016, while orders began in Germany in 2015.[24]

The four-cylinder model went on sale in the United States and globally as a 2017 model year vehicle, with deliveries beginning in July 2016.[25]

On 25 January 2024, Porsche revealed the second-generation Macan which will be available only with a battery electric powertrain.[37] Production began in May 2024 at the Leipzig plant alongside the older ICE version of the Macan.[38] Porsche sells the new electric model alongside the original Macan which it updated in 2021.[39] It uses the same Premium Platform Electric (PPE) platform shared with the upcoming Audi Q6 e-tron.[40][41][42]

The Macan features three screens: a curved 12.6-inch instrument cluster, a 10.9-inch infotainment system, and an optional 10.9-inch screen for the front passenger.[43] It also utilizes a voice assistant and other driver aid technology. [44]
