The Macan Philosophy
We have proven that we do not follow trends. Instead, we design our own adventures. A compact SUV that inextricably combines sportiness, design and everyday practicality: the Macan .
Design
For us, aesthetics are not simply superficial, but an expression of our personality.

Features
With its dynamic overall look, the Macan is unmistakably a sports car. Its redesigned rear appears extremely powerful. Like a bold line under its own signature, the new characteristic taillight strip emphasises the Porsche logo, enhanced by the new four-point brake lights, both functionally and visually.
The broad shoulders above its rear wheels are reminiscent of the 911. And a further visual demonstration of the roadhugging nature of the new Macan .
Its flank is also typically Porsche . From this angle, every muscle appears to be energised – like a predator ready to pounce. Its roof line slopes to the rear just like a coupé, thereby creating a characteristic sports car contour with high aerodynamic quality. Our designers call this the Porsche flyline.
Interior design
Interior design
You are seeking one adventure after another, of course you want a full view. The sporty front seats convey a typical Macan feeling: you may sit high above the road, yet you are still closely connected to it.
As a sports car manufacturer, we understand that a car and its driver must form a single entity. So you do not simply sit in the Macan – but, thanks to its architecture, you are integrated into the vehicle.
The three-dimensional arrangement of the controls lends the interior a cockpit like character. The distance between the standard multifunction steering wheel and the PDK (Porsche Doppelkupplung) gear selector, as well as the main vehicle functions, is extremely short – via the ascending centre console, characteristic of sports cars. The ignition is on the left – as is typical of Porsche .
One highlight of which we are particularly proud: the new 10.9˝ touchscreen display in Porsche Communication Management (PCM). The new design boasts full-HD resolution with a start screen that can be fully customised. The new, intuitive menu provides even faster access to the main functions.
Performance and handling
Performance and handling
It is no longer just about mobility. We do not simply drive in order to travel from A to B. Along the way there is much to discover and experience. Every second we want to feel that our life is dynamic, on the road and in our sports car.
Always focusing on absolute performance. As we would expect of a genuine sports car.
A Porsche delivers more than power alone. Such as the active all-wheel drive system Porsche Traction Management (PTM), traction, safety, outstanding steering and exceptional handling – clear evidence of traditional Porsche engineering.
And what about comfort? Also in plentiful supply, of course, with all the sporty and control features. The optional air suspension guarantees a constant ride height – on any terrain. Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) also actively and continuously adjusts damping force. For each individual wheel. The result? Increased comfort and sportiness – in all seats.
Comfort
Comfort
For us, driving a sports car is an intense experience, involving all our senses. But endorphins are not just released by performance and adrenaline. Thanks to the optionally available high-quality leather interior, the new Macan delights you as soon as you get in. The ascending centre console beside the optional multifunctional GT sports steering wheel contributes to the genuine sports car feeling.
Your ears are also in for a treat: the optional sports exhaust system makes the typical Porsche sound appear even more powerful. This audio experience continues, the BOSE® Surround Sound System and Burmester ® High-End Surround Sound System are both available as options for the Macan models.
To maintain comfort while enjoying the experience, three-zone automatic climate control is fitted as standard. The optional ioniser is a new addition – for improved air quality that enhances your wellbeing.
Our lives are eclectic and thrilling. We are constantly on the move and want to know what is happening around us. The new 10.9˝ touchscreen display with full-HD resolution provides even more interfaces with your next adventure. The customisable start screen is intuitive to use.
The standard online navigation system ensures that you arrive at your next adventure even more quickly. Connect Plus assists you with Real-time Traffic Information and online map updates. The Porsche Connect app allows you to determine your preferred destination and send it to your Macan – while looking for an empty parking space.
What else do you need for your journey? Your own sound track, of course: with the music streaming function of the Porsche Connect app.

In the new Macan GTS, the new 2.9-litre V6 engine delivers 280kW (380PS), 20PS more than the previous model, for more adrenaline and even greater thrills. Twin turbochargers ensure even more torque, as instantly as you demand it. Maximum torque is 520Nm.
If you’re looking for braking performance with the same ferocity as your thirst for adventure: the surface of the optional Porsche Surface Coated Brake (PSCB) is made of tungsten carbide. For consistently high braking performance, even during continuous use.
Chassis
Not enough? The optional air suspension including PASM is lowered by a further 10mm and delivers more comfort, and more agility, perfectly balanced and constantly adapted to the drive. No compromises.
Craving the ultimate driving thrill? The optional Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus) takes driving dynamics to another level, by selectively braking the inside wheel, ensuring even greater cornering ability. For a drive that is more capable, and even more fun.
Exterior design
First impressions matter. The front of the car is distinctive and purposeful, with the SportDesign package featuring air intake grilles and airblades in a matt black finish. With the standard tinted LED main headlights with Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS) in black, there is no mistaking the new Macan GTS.
The sideblades are painted in matt black, and feature a ‘GTS’ logo on gloss black. 20-inch RS Spyder Design wheels in satin black are fitted as standard.
Finally, the perfectly sculpted rear end, featuring tinted LED taillights with continuous light strip and four-point brake lights, a distinctive black rear section with diffuser and sports tailpipes. You’ll want to look back as you walk away.
Interior design
Some people are happy to sit and let the world go by them. Others prefer to get involved. And what better place to begin, than the GTS sports seats? It’s the last place you'll want to sit idly.
The whole interior, with its typical driver focused cockpit layout, is designed to make tackling your next adventure even more rewarding, and with greater control. The optional multifunction GT sports steering wheel provides more feedback and connection with the road. Inspired by Porsche motorsport involvement with its smaller diameter and, in conjunction with the optional Sport Chrono Package, the driving mode switch, it puts you in control of every driving experience.
What about materials? As with the rest of the new Macan GTS, these are selected for performance and an unmistakable aesthetic. Sporty, elegant, non-slip: Alcantara® on the seat centres, armrests and centre console. In combination with the standard leather interior package and brushed aluminium elements in black, these elements accentuate the car’s distinctive character. A unique character further highlighted by a number of signature touches: the ‘GTS’ logo on the rev counter, door sill guards, and headrests of the front and outer rear seats.
We never compromise.
