2023 Porsche Macan

Porsche's compact luxury SUV combines much of the performance and feel of its sports cars with the functional package of a small SUV. Two engines are offered; a 3.0-liter V6 turbo in the S and a 3.6-liter V6 turbo in the uplevel Turbo. Though based on the Audi Q5, the power and handling are true Porsche, as are the seats, controls, fit and finish, and attention to detail. The firm ride is steady and controlled. The cabin is quite snug, and the center dashboard is a dizzying array of buttons. Porsche's latest addition combines much of the performance and feel of its sports cars with the functional package of a small SUV. Updates for 2019 included standard LED headlights, a new 10.9-inch touch screen for the infotainment system, reworked suspension, and standard voice controls and navigation. Both the 2.0-liter and V6 turbo engines received horsepower increases. A 2022 freshening brought a cleaner cockpit with haptic switchgear as well as a stubbier electronic gear selector. LDW is now standard. An electric model is in the works.

Brand context

About Porsche

Since the early 2000s, the Porsche lineup has expanded to include practical performance cars, including the Panamera sedan and wagon, Cayenne midsized SUV, Macan compact SUV, and Taycan EV. Every Porsche we’ve tested has achieved stellar road-test and owner satisfaction scores, thanks to sharp handling, a controlled ride, superb braking performance, and beautifully crafted interiors. Although Consumer Reports’ survey data shows that its vehicles can be expensive to maintain and repair, the brand tends to do well in our reliability rankings. Porsche’s rich history and prestige adds to the appeal. Even today, the name Porsche brings to mind the rear-engine 911, which rightfully remains a dream sports car for generations of enthusiasts. For less money, the mid-engined 718 Boxster roadster and Cayman coupe offer some of the most superb driving experiences possible.
