Performance

7-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK)

Would you prefer to experience the gear change or the driving pleasure? No contest. The new Macan is equipped with the 7-speed PDK transmission, which changes gear in fractions of a second with no interruption in the flow of power. The advantage is that, whenever a particular gear is engaged, the next gear is already preselected. As the clutch of the engaged gear opens, the clutch of the target gear closes simultaneously. The effect is a sporty, dynamic and agile driving feel with gear changes taking place within milliseconds.

Automatic mode is optimised for fuel economy. This means that PDK is able to offer not only a sporty, agile driving feel, but also increased efficiency.

Would you rather change gear manually? You can do this using the two gearshift paddles on the multifunction sports steering wheel, fitted as standard, or using the PDK gear selector.

In conjunction with the Sport Chrono Package, the shift times of PDK become even shorter, the gear changes even sportier. Additional gearshift strategies are also available – for uncompromising driving pleasure. Standard on the Macan Turbo with Performance Package, optional for all other Macan models.

Porsche Traction Management (PTM)

The tremendous dynamic performance of the new Macan is thanks in part to the Porsche Traction Management (PTM) active all-wheel drive system. It comprises an electronic and map-controlled multi-plate clutch, the automatic brake differential (ABD) and anti-slip regulation (ASR). The electronically controlled multiplate clutch regulates the distribution of drive force between the rear axle and the front axle. Driving conditions are constantly monitored to enable a precise and lightning-quick response to a variety of situations.

Sensors continuously check, among other variables, the rotation speeds of all four wheels, the longitudinal and lateral acceleration of the vehicle, and the steering angle. If, for example, the rear wheels threaten to spin under acceleration, a greater proportion of drive force is distributed to the front by a more powerful engagement of the multiplate clutch. In addition, ASR reduces wheel slip. In corners, the drive force sent to the front wheels is regulated for optimum lateral stability.

In short, PTM transfers the incredible sportiness of the Macan to the road. Behind the wheel, you can feel what it's like to be driving a genuine sports car: traction, driving safety, outstanding steering behaviour, superior handling and, of course, the excellent dynamics typical of any Porsche.

VarioCam Plus System

VarioCam

The intake and exhaust camshafts in all Macan models with petrol engine are each equipped with a fully variable vanecell controller for continuous timing adjustments. This helps to deliver high specific power and high torque – even at low engine speeds – and, above all, reduced fuel consumption and low emissions.

VarioCam Plus

With their twin-turbo V6 engine, the Macan Turbo, Macan GTS and Macan S are additionally equipped with VarioCam Plus. This system switches the lift of the intake valves, resulting in instant acceleration and smooth engine running performance.

Direct fuel injection (DFI)

With millisecond precision, DFI injects fuel at up to 200 bar directly into the combustion chamber by means of electromagnetically actuated injection valves. The spray and cone angles have been optimised for torque, power output, fuel consumption and emissions by enabling a homogeneous distribution of the air/fuel mixture and, therefore, effective combustion. DFI improves the internal cooling of the combustion chamber by having the mixture prepared directly in the cylinder. This allows for a higher compression ratio, which helps to deliver greater power output at the same time as enhanced engine efficiency.

Efficiency-enhancing measures

Auto start/stop function

To improve fuel economy, the auto start/stop function switches off the engine when you are coming to a stop at traffic lights, for example.

Coasting

The coasting function enables you to save even more fuel where the situation allows. The engine is decoupled from the transmission, which avoids the deceleration caused by engine braking. In this way, the vehicle makes optimum use of its own momentum and is able to coast for longer distances. This has real benefits for fuel consumption without any impact on comfort or sporty performance.

Thermal management

Engine cooling is prevented during the initial stages of a cold start so that the engine reaches its optimum operating temperature faster. This means it can begin working at high efficiency sooner, thereby consuming less fuel.

Active aerodynamics

The radiator grille shutter opens the cooling air flaps only as needed. Whenever the cooling requirement is low, such as on relaxed drives, the radiator grille shutter closes. Aerodynamics are improved, which helps to improve fuel economy. If, for example, a sporty driving style is adopted and the demand for power increases, the cooling air flaps will open and let in the necessary amount of cooling air for increased driving performance.

Electrical system recuperation

To enhance efficiency, the electrical system in the Macan models is recharged on demand during engine overrun phases. Fuel consumption is thereby reduced, while the full power output of the engine is made available for acceleration phases. You won't notice anything of the process itself, except for the results: optimum power and torque with lower fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.

Oil supply

The integrated dry-sump lubrication of the V6 petrol engines as well as the wet-sump lubrication of the Macan guarantee a reliable supply of oil in all driving situations. For the V6 petrol engines, the oil reservoir is located directly inside the engine, which saves on space and weight. An electronically controlled oil pump provides the correct amount of oil as and when needed. Optimised for sporty driving, it ensures optimum engine lubrication even in extreme situations.

Exhaust turbocharging

In the Macan S Diesel, fuel is directly injected by a common-rail injection system. The injection pressure of up to 2,000 bar ensures effective mixture formation and enhanced dynamic performance. Piezo-controlled injectors enable a flexible injection process with multiple injections taking place per stroke and delivering fuel in the exact amounts required for smooth combustion.

Sport Button

The SPORT button, which is fitted as standard, enables you to select a setup that favours either comfort or sporty performance. At the push of a button, the electronic engine management system switches the engine mapping to offer an even sharper response and engine dynamics that are more direct.

Sports tailpipes

Sports tailpipes are available for your Macan on request. The twin dual-tube tailpipes are specially designed and feature a highly polished chrome-plated stainless steel finish, also available in chrome-plated black. A sporty statement that is visually unmistakable.

Sports exhaust system

The sports exhaust system delivers an even more resonant sound. The sports tailpipes in chrome-plated stainless steel – available in a choice of silver colour or black – are a treat for both the eyes and the ears.

Air suspension incl. Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM)

For a high level of comfort and tremendous dynamic performance, you have the option of an air suspension including PASM (standard on Macan Turbo and Macan Turbo with Performance Package). With this setup, the Macan, Macan S, Macan S Diesel and Macan Turbo is 10 mm lower. For the Macan GTS and Macan Turbo with Performance Package, the air suspension incl. PASM leads to a lowering of 20 mm. The effect? A generous spread of ride comfort and dynamic performance. The self-levelling function helps to keep the ride height constant.

Available on request, a ride-height adjustment capability enables you to switch the ground clearance to three levels: Terrain Level, Normal Level and Low Level. At Terrain Level, the car is 40 mm above Normal Level; at Low Level, 10 mm below it. Loading Level is especially practical: from Normal Level, the rear end of the body lowers 40 mm to make it easier to load the car. This function is operated by means of a button in the luggage compartment.

Standard on the Macan Turbo and Macan Turbo with Performance Package. Optional for all other Macan models.

Sports suspension

The steel spring suspension is standard on all Macan models, except for the Macan Turbo and Macan Turbo with Performance Package which come with the air suspension. Not only does it fulfil exacting requirements for performance and driving pleasure, it contributes to enhanced driving dynamics, lower fuel consumption and increased ride comfort.

In addition, the sports suspension of the Macan GTS is 15 mm lower compared to the Macan S. The Macan S, Macan S Diesel, Macan GTS, Macan Turbo and Macan Turbo with Performance Package also come equipped with Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM).

Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM)

PASM is an electronic damping control system. It actively and continuously adjusts damping force based on current road conditions and driving style. When a car is driven off-road or assertively in a manner that demands hard acceleration and braking, the forces acting on the car will normally induce perceptible body movements. PASM intervenes in these situations to reduce them. You can select from three modes: ‘Comfort’, ‘SPORT’ and ‘SPORT PLUS’.

PASM is permanently active, adapting automatically to the current driving situation with the aim of increasing driving stability and comfort.

Steering and Power steering Plus

Steering

The steering has been engineered for sporty and immediate handling. The tuning of the electromechanical steering system is what makes the Macan models so extraordinarily agile.

It also contributes to low fuel consumption. As there is no hydraulic system constantly drawing power, energy is consumed only when the steering is turned.

Power steering Plus

Optional Power steering Plus is a speedsensitive power steering system. At high speeds, the steering firms up and responds with greater precision, while steering comfort remains outstanding. At low speeds, the steering ratio adjusts for easy manoeuvring and parking.

OFF-ROAD button

OFF-ROAD button

Would you like to try roads that aren’t actually there? A button on the centre console sets your Macan to OFF-ROAD mode. All relevant systems switch to a traction-optimised program for off-road terrain. The optional air suspension including PASM automatically adjusts to Terrain Level. In addition, optional Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus) and Porsche Stability Management (PSM) – integrated as standard – optimally adapt their setup for off-road use, delivering improved driveability and safety.

PTM, which is also fitted as standard, provides a fully variable distribution of drive force between the front and rear axles – up to 100 % if necessary. This delivers a crucial increase in traction and driving safety.

Porsche Hill Control (PHC)

A button on the centre console enables you to activate Porsche Hill Control (PHC), which keeps your speed constant on downhill gradients. You can set any speed between 3 and 30 km/h.

Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus)

Sports car makers adore corners. With our technologies, we are forever fanning the flames of the relationship. PTV Plus is an optional system for enhancing both driving dynamics and stability.

Operating in conjunction with an electronically regulated rear differential lock, it works by varying the torque distribution to the rear wheels. When the car is driven into a corner, moderate brake pressure is applied to the inside rear wheel as the situation demands. Consequently, a greater amount of drive force is distributed to the outside rear wheel, inducing an additional rotational pulse (yaw movement) around the vehicle’s vertical axis. The effect is a direct and sporty steering action. And considerable driving pleasure at every twist and turn.

At low and medium vehicle speeds, PTV Plus significantly increases agility and steering precision. At high speeds on the straight, and in fast corners where the wheels threaten to spin, the electronically controlled rear differential lock provides added driving stability. Stability is also improved on road surfaces with varying grip as well as in the wet and snow.

Sport Chrono Package

The Sport Chrono Package adds a stopwatch with an analogue and a digital display to the cockpit. The performance display in PCM lets you view a range of driving stats, including your total driving time, current lap distance and lap times recorded so far.

The centre console also comes equipped with the SPORT PLUS button, which is used to activate SPORT PLUS mode. In this mode, the engine becomes even more responsive and the rev limiter is adjusted to a harder setting. Porsche Traction Management (PTM) is now tuned for even sportier performance. For cars with Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), SPORT PLUS mode results in harder damping and more direct steering. In addition, the trigger threshold for PSM is raised for increased longitudinal and lateral dynamics. The shift times of PDK, fitted as standard, become even shorter, the gear changes even sportier. The optional air suspension automatically drops to Low Level. Launch Control is primed to deliver optimum acceleration from a standing start.

Wheels and Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

Mixed tyres

As with any genuine sports car, the Macan is equipped with wider tyres at the rear – just like the 911. The visual impact is not the only effect: the larger footprint at the rear improves both stability and traction and also enhances agility for intensified contact with the road.

Wheels

For the wheels, too, everything revolves around sporty performance – and style. Accordingly, the Macan serves up some impressive numbers: the wheels look exceptionally large, with optional sizes up to 21 inches.

What they all have in common is their aluminium construction, which saves weight and increases agility. That’s particularly true of the forged 21-inch wheels.

The Macan as well as the Macan S and S Diesel are equipped with 19-inch Macan Turbo wheels. The Macan GTS lines up on 20-inch RS Spyder Design wheels in satin black. For the Macan Turbo and Macan Turbo with Performance Package, 20-inch Macan SportDesign wheels are fitted as standard.

Tyres

All tyres have been optimised for driving performance, handling, rolling resistance and weight. The rubber compound, tread pattern and the carcass architecture have been designed for the least rolling resistance possible in order to reduce fuel consumption.

Tyre Pressure Monitoring (TPM)

Tyre Pressure Monitoring sends warnings to the on-board computer’s display screen in the event of low tyre pressure or a gradual or sudden loss of pressure. The multifunction display in the instrument cluster gives you a quick and convenient way to check your tyre pressures.

Braking system

At Porsche, we set ourselves high standards for braking performance. So it goes without saying that our brake systems are super-sized and adapted to the high power output of the engine.

The Macan models are equipped with sixpiston aluminium monobloc fixed brake calipers at the front. The brake discs are internally vented for consistently high braking power even during continuous use.

To cope with the performance capability of the Macan models, the brake discs fitted to the front axle are up to 390 mm in diameter.

The calipers on the Macan are black-coloured, while they are silver-coloured on the Macan S and Macan S Diesel. On the Macan GTS, Macan Turbo and Macan Turbo with Performance Package the brake calipers are finished in red.

Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB)

As an option, you can have your Macan equipped with the track-proven Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB).

The cross-drilled ceramic brake discs have a diameter of 396 mm at the front axle and a thickness of 38 mm. At the rear, they are 370 mm in diameter and 30 mm thick.

Their low thermal expansion prevents deformation under heavy braking. Furthermore, the ceramic brake discs are totally resistant to corrosion and offer more favourable noise-damping properties.

The key advantage is that the brake discs are approximately 50% lighter than standard discs of similar design and size. Enhanced performance and fuel economy are not the only noticeable benefits: above all, it represents a major reduction in unsprung and rotating masses. The results are improved handling, better roadholding and increased comfort.

Lighting concept

LED main headlights including Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus (PDLS Plus).

Available as an option, these new LED main headlights including PDLS Plus are distinguished by their unmistakable look, characterised by style-defining four-point LED spotlights. The luminous power of the headlights helps to provide optimum illumination of the road at all times. In addition to the dynamic and static cornering light function and speed-sensitive headlight range control – both integrated as standard – the adverse weather function is another essential feature.

The Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus (PDLS Plus) also includes dynamic main beam control and the Intersection Assistant for better illumination of your surroundings, so you see what’s going on around you all the sooner.

Daytime running lights

Daytime running lights are standard on all models. On cars with Bi-Xenon main headlights, the stunning light source is four LED spotlights in each headlight. The benefit is clear. If other road users can see you better, daytime driving becomes a safer experience.

Bi-Xenon main headlights including Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS)

The Bi-Xenon main headlights feature automatic and dynamic range control, which provides uniform illumination of the road whether dipped or main beam is selected. The dynamic cornering light function swivels the headlights towards the inside of a bend based on the steering angle and road speed. The static cornering lights activate the auxiliary headlights so as to light up more of the road at tight bends and turns. Put simply, a greater part of the road ahead is illuminated the moment you enter a bend.

Ultra-exclusive accents are added by the optionally available Bi-Xenon main headlights in black including PDLS. On the Macan GTS, the inner trims are also finished in black.

LED taillights

The three-dimensional design of the LED taillights pays homage to the 918 Spyder super sports car and lends an impressive appearance of depth. At the same time, they are especially responsive and powerful – and that means added safety. In the event of panic braking, the adaptive LED brake lights begin to pulsate, alerting following traffic more quickly to a critical situation. The third brake light is integrated in the roof spoiler.

What’s more, the LED taillights are also available with tinted lenses: standard on the Macan GTS as part of the Turbo exterior package, otherwise optional for every Macan model. A sporty accent to leave a lasting impression.

Porsche Stability Management (PSM)

PSM is an electronic control system that maintains stability – and increases driving safety – even at the limits of sporty performance.

Sensors continuously monitor driving direction, speed, yaw velocity and lateral acceleration. PSM actively intervenes to stabilise the vehicle when necessary by strategically applying the brakes at individual wheels. That’s not all. If the driver suddenly releases the accelerator pedal, PSM primes the brake system for a higher state of readiness. Maximum braking power is therefore achieved much sooner. Integral ABS is optimised for short braking distances.

Airbags

All Macan models are equipped, as standard, with full-size airbags for the driver and front passenger. These are supplemented by the Porsche Side Impact Protection System (POSIP).

It comprises side airbags in the front seats, curtain airbags along the entire roof frame and the side windows from the A-pillar to the C-pillar, and side impact protection elements in the doors. Side airbags are standard for the rear compartment.

Two auxiliary sensors in the bumper help to detect frontal collisions. A cluster of acceleration and yaw rate sensors detects a threat of rollover and triggers the curtain airbags and seat belt pretensioners.

Engineered body design

The use of ultra and super high-strength steels makes a crucial contribution to safety and, at the same time, purposefully encapsulates the principle of lightweight construction.

The forces exerted in the event of a frontal impact are dispersed by a system of longitudinal and transverse members. Reinforcements in ultra high-strength steel provide additional protection for occupants in the event of a side impact.

The concept also sees the use of multiphase steels. High-strength and clearly defined deformability are two qualities that they have in common. The passenger cell is a cage formed of high-tech steels and offers a considerable level of protection.

Interior architecture

Five doors. Five seats. Excellent everyday practicality – and an elevated sitting position. That’s what you can expect of an SUV. Now lets consider what you can expect of a Porsche: sports car sensations.

You get in – and find the ignition lock closest to the door. It’s typically Porsche, and has been since 1948. An old motorsport tradition.

The interior architecture integrates you perfectly into the vehicle. This is exemplified by the three-dimensional arrangement of the controls and the ascending centre console with control buttons for the most important comfort functions. The layout emulates that of the Carrera GT – it’s as if you’re sitting in a sports car.

The multifunction sports steering wheel with 918 Spyder design provides the ideal hands-on experience. Its appearance is futuristic and its design highly ergonomic. Gearshift paddles as well as multifunction buttons for telephone, radio and on-board computer offer high levels of user comfort. Steering wheel heating is available as an option.

Sports car genes are also inherent in the three round instruments. The rev counter is positioned in the centre, exactly where it belongs in a sports car. In this way, you can see all the essentials at a glance when you’re on the move – and keep up to speed with all relevant information.

Take the high-resolution 4.8-inch colour screen in the instrument cluster as an example. It displays messages from the on-board computer and shows the map of the navigation system.

The seats offer racing-style support and a high degree of seating comfort. In cars with the driver memory package or comfort memory package, you can store personalised seat, steering wheel and exterior mirror settings. Your car will then adapt automatically to you. In the Macan GTS, exclusive eight-way Sports seats convey the thrilling feel typical of a genuine sports car, while ‘GTS’ logos embroidered on the headrests catch the eye. Even more exclusive: the Turbo interior package comes with a full leather interior in black, selected items in Alcantara®, embroidered ‘turbo’ logos and precisely defined contrasts.

The use of exquisite materials such as leather brings exclusivity to ordinary life. In the Macan Turbo and Macan Turbo with Performance Package, the adaptive Sports seats with 18-way adjustment are completely upholstered in leather. On request, you can refine even more interior features of your Macan with Alcantara®, leather, wood, carbon or aluminium.

Standard on-board features include threezone automatic climate control as well as remote central locking with remote closing.

On principle, all controls are ergonomically arranged for speedy access to desired functions.

Practicality is also assured by storage solutions in the front and rear doors. Even large bottles are accommodated.

The large luggage compartment offers a loading capacity of 500 litres. The rear bench seat has a split-folding ratio of 40 : 20 : 40. With the seats fully folded, available capacity increases to 1,500 litres.

Seats

Eight-way Sports seats

Exclusive eight-way Sports seats provide a rather sportier alternative, perfectly emulating the feel of an out-and-out sports car. The eight-way electric adjustment capability on the driver’s and front passenger side includes seat height, fore/aft position, squab angle and backrest angle.

With the Turbo interior package or the GTS interior package available for the Macan GTS, the seat centres are upholstered in Alcantara® – in true With 30,000 racing victories behind us, we can afford to ease back a little. Motorsport style. Contrasting stitching in Carmine Red or Rhodium Silver creates an even sportier appearance. The ‘GTS’ logo in a contrasting colour embroidered on the headrests completes the profile of a top-class athlete.

Power seats with comfort memory package (14-way)

Would you like generous seating comfort for both seats in the front? To supplement the eight adjustable features of the comfort seats, the power seats with comfort memory package offer additional adjustment capabilities, namely the lumbar support, seat squab length and steering column. Personalised settings, such as driver and front passenger seat positions including lumbar support, can be stored – as can steering wheel and exterior mirror positions.

Adaptive Sports seats with comfort memory package (18-way)

The adaptive Sports seats with comfort memory package combine ultimate seating comfort with racing-style support. Their side bolsters are particularly high and prominently contoured. Offering 18-way electric adjustment, the seats can be optimally adapted to meet your needs in terms of seat height, squab and backrest angle, squab length, fore/aft adjustment and four-way lumbar support. The steering column is also electrically adjustable. The following functions can be memorised: driver and front passenger seat positions, including lumbar support and steering wheel and exterior mirror positions.

Exclusive to the Turbo interior package: contrasts in Garnet Red or Rhodium Silver and selected items in Alcantara®. And, adding further accents, the ‘turbo’ logo embroidered on the headrests.

Seat/steering wheel heating.

For all seat designs, seat heating is available for the front (standard on the Macan Turbo and Macan Turbo with Performance Package) or as a package for the front and rear. Steering wheel heating, which keeps the rim at a pleasant temperature, is available as an option.

Seat ventilation

Optional seat ventilation for the front provides even greater comfort on long journeys and in the summer. (Only available in conjunction with seat heating, comfort memory package or adaptive Sports seats). Not compatible with seat centres in Alcantara®.

Rear seats

The rear bench seat has a three-way split-folding ratio – and folds down fully if required. The versatile centre seat doubles as a through-loading facility for long cargo items and for the optional ski bag. It additionally contains the folding armrest, which features two extra cupholders when combined with the optional storage package. Operation of the rear bench seat is totally straightforward: release, fold – done.

Climate control

Three-zone automatic climate control

Fitted as standard, three-zone automatic climate control provides separate air conditioning in the rear compartment – and a cooling function for the glove compartment. Air conditioning settings in the rear compartment are infinitely variable.

Adaptive cruise control incl. Porsche Active Safe (PAS)

This system regulates the speed of your vehicle in line with the speed of the vehicle in front and brakes your vehicle automatically – if necessary, even down to a halt. As soon as the road ahead clears, your vehicle will accelerate back up to the cruising speed originally set. Selectable cruising speeds range from 30 to 210 km/h. If required, your car can even brake itself to a complete stop behind the vehicle in front in situations such as congested traffic. To pull away again, all it takes is for the driver to give a brief start command using the control lever or accelerator pedal.

Integrated Porsche Active Safe (PAS) is designed to detect whether you are approaching the vehicle in front too quickly. In this event, you will be prompted to take the necessary action by an audible and visual warning as well as a jolt of the brakes. The system may even boost brake pressure as the situation demands, even to the point of the maximum braking force that the system is able to provide.

Assistance systems

Lane Change Assist

Lane Change Assist monitors the areas to the rear of the vehicle and the blind spots on either side. Between 30 and 250 km/h, the system issues a visual warning signal in the exterior mirrors whenever a vehicle rapidly approaches your vehicle from behind or enters one of your blind spots. In this way, Lane Change Assist improves comfort and safety, particularly on motorways. However, the system does not actively intervene to control the vehicle and can be deactivated at any time.

Lane Keeping Assist

Lane Keeping Assist uses a camera installed in the front end to detect divider line markings on the road. If the car threatens to cross one of the lines, the system steers the vehicle back into the centre of the lane. This correction is accompanied by a soft steering pulse. Of course, you are able to override the system at any time.

The function may be deactivated in specific conditions, e.g. bad weather.

Lane Departure Warning

A camera inside the rear-view mirror casing monitors the road surface in front of the vehicle. When activated, the system will sound a warning tone whenever you steer towards a divider line marking and threaten to leave the current lane without indicating.

ParkAssist (front and rear) with reversing camera

ParkAssist warns you of obstacles detected to the front and rear of the vehicle. Its sensors are integrated harmoniously in the front and rear end. The audible alert is supplemented by a bird’s eye graphical representation of the vehicle on the central display screen showing the proximity to these obstacles.

The reversing camera facilitates precise reverse parking and manoeuvring and also assists in hitching a trailer. Help is provided in the form of the camera image and the dynamic, superimposed guidelines on the PCM screen, which illustrate the predicted course of the vehicle given the current position of the steering wheel.

Standard for all Macan models.

Surround View

With Surround View, four cameras located in the front end, exterior mirrors and rear generate an all-round image of the car and its immediate surroundings. In PCM, the driver can choose between a bird’s eye view, side view and corner view.

Anti-theft protection.

All Macan models are equipped with an engine immobiliser. It works in response to an automatic exchange of data between the key and vehicle electronics. On correct identification, the engine start will be authorised by the engine electronics.

All Macan models are equipped with an alarm system including ultrasonic interior surveillance as standard.

The security system monitors all four doors, the bonnet, the entire rear hatch, the interior, the ignition and any trailer that you have hitched to the car.

Panoramic roof system

The panoramic roof system is a good square metre in size and comprises two large glass panels. Even when closed, it lives up to its name, letting you enjoy a generous panoramic view – but keeping you well protected from the elements at the same time. In addition, the front portion slides open or tilts to a raised position. A roll-up blind shields you from strong sunlight.

Additional Features

Privacy glass

Standard on all Macan models, dark-tinted privacy glass provides additional privacy in the rear compartment.

Thermally/noise insulated glass

As standard, all Macan models are equipped with tinted thermally insulated glass.

Optional: thermally and noise insulated laminated glass for all round more efficient reflection of infrared radiation. Enjoy an even more pleasant climate and peace and quiet in the passenger compartment.

Comfort lighting package

The comfort lighting package comprises dimmable ambient lighting in the door panels, LED lights in place of bulbs, practical LED reading lights for the rear passengers, two vanity lights, additional courtesy lighting in both exterior mirrors and LED illumination of the footwells.

Roll-up sunblind

To protect against sunlight, a mechanical roll-up sunblind is optionally available for the rear side windows.

Rain sensor

The windscreen wiper system has three wiper speeds and a rain sensor for automatic operation.

Porsche Entry & Drive

Porsche Entry & Drive is designed to minimise key use.

As soon as you touch the door handle, Porsche Entry & Drive checks the encrypted access code on the key in your pocket. Once the key is validated, the door unlocks. The engine can then be started and switched off using the ignition key in the normal way.

To lock the vehicle, you simply touch the sensor on the outside of the door handle. Porsche Entry & Drive then locks the vehicle and simultaneously activates the engine immobiliser.

Porsche Rear Seat Entertainment Plus

A cinematic experience enjoyed in the second row. New Porsche Rear Seat Entertainment Plus has been specially developed to appeal to the discerning viewers in your Macan. Thanks to two high-resolution 10.1-inch TFT colour touchscreens on the front seat backrests, each featuring an integrated DVD drive, two USB interfaces, an SD card interface, an HDMI interface and an internal 32-GB flash memory, a world of entertainment is at your passengers’ fingertips.

The system has been optimally tuned for the models in the Macan range. A total of 14 loudspeakers, including an active subwoofer and centre speaker, and nine amplifier channels with a total output of 665 watts deliver an impressive sound experience.

In combination with the new version of Porsche Communication Management (PCM), the BOSE® Surround Sound System enables audio playback of DVDs and is thus able to make full use of the impressive sound spectrum of 5.1 digital recordings. Of course, you can still play other audio sources, such as CDs or MP3 players, in stereo or, at the push of a button, in one of the available virtual surround modes.

Noise compensation technology uses a microphone to continuously measure the ambient noise inside the vehicle and adapts music playback automatically so that a consistent sound is maintained at all times.

Burmester® High-End Surround Sound-System

As a creator of sports cars, we love to push boundaries – sound barriers included. This is demonstrated perfectly by the Burmester® High-End Surround Sound System, which has been optimally tuned for the Macan model range. It converts sound waves into a unique feast for the senses – and music into an exclusive listening experience.

The surround sound system developed by Burmester® – one of the most respected manufacturers of high-end audio equipment worldwide – is available as an option.

The technologies behind the system are from the finest premium home audio systems that Burmester® has to offer. State of the art and never heard before in a vehicle of this class.

The extravagance is uncompromising, the craftsmanship exquisite, the sound phenomenal. The system owes its excellence to countless details, and one goal: perfection in sound.

The figures alone sound impressive: 16 amplifier channels with a total output of more than 1,000 watts, 16 loudspeakers including an active subwoofer with 300-watt class D amplifier, a total diaphragm surface area of more than 2,400 cm², and a frequency response of 30 Hz to 20 kHz.

Crossover technology has been carried over more or less unmodified from Burmester® high-end home audio products. Analogue and digital filters have been optimally defined for their installation location and finely tuned after extensive in-car audio testing. Ribbon tweeters have been used for unmistakably fine, clear and undistorted high-frequency sound reproduction with excellent level stability.

Luggage

The large luggage compartment of the new Macan models is prepared for a wide variety of uses and boasts a capacity of 500 litres. A storage compartment to the side offers additional space.

The rear bench seat folds down with a ratio of 40 : 20 : 40. With the seats fully folded, the available capacity increases to 1,500 litres.

To protect against sunlight and offer additional privacy, the luggage compartment is equipped with a removable luggage compartment cover. The optional ski bag can also be removed. It can be used for carrying ski equipment outside the vehicle or simply taken out for cleaning. Practical and hygienic in equal measure.

For loading convenience, the optional* air suspension enables you to lower the rear end of the vehicle using a button in the luggage compartment.

The rear hatch features a heated and tinted glass panel. The hatch opens automatically within five seconds at the push of a button. Its adjustable opening height can be memorised so that it always stops at a safe distance from your garage ceiling, for example.

Loadspace management system

The loadspace management system enables you to partition the luggage compartment to suit your needs. Items are held in place by a rail system with slide-adjustable telescopic rod, a strap roller and four variable lashing eyelets. The reversible mat protects against dirt and helps to prevent luggage displacement. The loadspace partition net provides added safety with the vehicle laden.

Roof transport system

Roof rails

These high-quality roof rails are available in aluminium or with a black painted finish. They blend harmoniously into the vehicle's dynamic design. Roof rails are a prerequisite for installation of the optional roof transport system and are available as a factory-fitted option only.

Roof transport system

In conjunction with the optional roof rails, this set of lockable roof bars is compatible with all Porsche roof attachment modules. The load-bearing parts in aluminium are designed to carry a maximum load of 100 kg. A range of aftermarket attachment modules is available from Porsche Tequipment.

Towbar systems

The ball head of this electrically extending towbar system disappears under the rear at the push of a button when out of use. A 13-pole socket is also included. The towbar is approved for a substantial braked trailer load of 2,400 kg and 750 kg for unbraked trailers. A noseweight of 96 kg is supported. As standard, the vehicle comes readily equipped with all the necessary preparations.

Porsche Exclusive

Our wealth of experience goes back a long way. Since the very beginning, we at Porsche have been dedicated to realising customer wishes as part of our special request service. Known until 1986 as the Porsche ‘Sonderwunschprogramm’, today we call it Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur. The philosophy has remained the same. Hand on heart.

We love what we do. We love our work. Every seam, every square inch of leather, and every single other fine detail receives the same devotion. It’s how we bring dreams to life. And how we create something unique. Directly from the Manufaktur.

None of this would be possible without originality, inspiration and enthusiasm, beginning as early as the consultation stage. That’s because we keep in mind one thing above all else: your particular wishes and requirements. We fulfil them with composure and meticulous care, by means of precision handcrafting and the use of exquisite materials such as leather, Alcantara®, carbon, fine wood or aluminium.

Added value is achieved through dedication and finesse. In other words, we handcraft a product that blends sporty performance, comfort and style and reflects your own personal taste. A Porsche with your signature touch.

We offer a wide range of personalisation options, with visual and technical enhancements for the interior and exterior, from a single alteration to extensive modifications.

Exclusive Macan

Porsche Tequipment

With the Porsche Tequipment range of accessories developed specifically for your Macan, you can style it entirely to your own preference. From the start, the same rules that apply to our vehicles also apply to the products of Porsche Tequipment: developed, tested and proven at the Development Centre in Weissach.

By the same Porsche engineers and designers who made your car. Designed with the complete vehicle in mind and precisely tailored to your Porsche. And your original car warranty? It will remain completely intact, whichever Tequipment products you ask your Porsche Centre to fit.

Exhaust emission control

Efficiency

The basic premise of any Porsche is power. It's been that way ever since 1948. But there has always been another principle: efficiency. Again, since 1948. We remain committed to both, and we always will.

In addition to our pursuit of efficient engine technologies, such as the turbochargers used across the model range, we routinely rely on innovative, lightweight materials, we are constantly developing our production techniques and functionalities and, as we do so, we are continuously refining our concepts.

How does this benefit you as the driver? Greater agility with increased dynamic performance – and lower fuel consumption. Now that's efficiency.

Exhaust emissions

The Macan once again demonstrates that even high-performance sports cars can achieve comparatively moderate emission values. The state-of-the-art engines of the Macan model range reach their optimum operating temperature soon after start-up, thanks to the rapid heating of the catalytic converter system. Emissions are thereby reduced, while tyres optimised for low rolling resistance play their part by lowering fuel consumption. All models in the Macan range fulfil the Euro 6 emission standard.

The petrol models are equipped with stereo Lambda control circuits. These are used by the electronic engine management to determine the optimum amount of fuel for effective emission control.

Emission control in the Macan S Diesel is realised by the interaction of a diesel particulate filter and the SCR system. AdBlue® technology helps to achieve a significant reduction in nitrogen oxide emissions.

Fuel and fuel economy

Fuel and fuel consumption

Doing more with comparatively less – another philosophy that the new Macan models live and breathe. The petrol models are designed to operate on fuels with an ethanol content of up to 10%. Ethanol has a positive impact on the CO2 balance because this biofuel is manufactured from plants, which absorb CO2 from the atmosphere in order to grow.

Fuel system

In the petrol models, even the emissions of the fuel system itself are minimised for the protection of the environment. Evaporative emissions are significantly reduced by the returnless supply system. Vapour-carrying lines are made from multi-layered plastic, while a high-capacity active carbon filter and the fuel tank also feature a multi-layered construction in order to make everything as impermeable as possible.

Noise reduction

The characteristic Porsche sound may drive our passion, but acoustics is yet another area in which we continuously strive for optimisation.

Stiff components and lightweight, temperature-stable materials minimise play between parts and therefore mechanical noise. Voluminous silencers and air induction systems reduce noise levels further – and that's over the course of the entire service life.

In collaboration with tyre manufacturers, we are managing to reduce the rolling noise of tyres, while aerodynamic refinements keep wind noise as low as possible. What's left? The Porsche sound, pure and simple.

Materials and recycling

Servicing

Long-life and hard-wearing materials reduce maintenance items to a minimum. At the time of an oil filter change, for example, only the recycling-friendly paper insert needs to be exchanged and not the entire housing.

Moving parts are adjusted automatically, e.g. by hydraulic valve clearance compensation.

The use of individual ignition coils in petrol engines makes the entire ignition system, except for the spark plugs, wear and maintenance-free. Advantage for you? If it doesn't need replacing, it doesn't need to be disposed of. Not only does this support the responsible handling of resources and a caring attitude towards the environment, it saves you time and money.

The maintenance intervals of the Macan models nevertheless depend on various factors, including the local fuel grade. For exact information, please refer to the price list published in your country or consult your Porsche Centre.

Materials and recycling

A Porsche is a source of long-lasting pleasure for our customers and a refreshing change for their environment. This Porsche principle can be summed up in one word: sustainability.

Here's just one example: the exhaust system of the Macan models is made from extremely corrosion-resistant stainless steel – and purposefully manufactured on the principles of lightweight construction. In addition, our cars are free from CFCs and parts manufactured with the use of CFCs. In all, they are over 95 % recoverable. Naturally, all statutory recycling requirements are fulfilled. The labelling of materials facilitates future sorting for excellent recycling.

On the subject of recycling, there is plenty of time before it is even needed. Two-thirds of all Porsche cars ever built are still being driven today. What better way to conserve resources?
