Power & Speed

The power and speed of the Porsche Macan only increase as you move from model to model. Each Macan trim gets a 7-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung and all-wheel drive, which sets it apart from BMW options. You’ll have a choice of the following engines:

  • Macan: Outfitted with a 2.0L turbo inline-4 engine, the base Macan produces 252 hp and reaches a top track speed of 142 mph, making it more powerful than the Jaguar F-PACE.
  • Macan S: Moving up to the Macan S gets you 340 hp and a top track speed of 156 mph, courtesy of a 3.0L V6 engine
  • Macan GTS: The Macan GTS gets an upgraded 3.0L V6 engine, which outputs 20 more horsepower than the Macan S, as well as 369 lb-ft of torque.
  • Macan Turbo: Capable of reaching 60 mph in 4.6 seconds, the Macan Turbo owes its power to a 400-hp 3.6L V6 engine.

Feature Highlights

Nimble and quick-witted, the Porsche Macan is a critic favorite largely because of its handling, It glides through Alameda and surrounding areas with grace. Of course, this wouldn’t be possible without its arsenal of refined standard and optional performance features, which includes:

  • SPORT Button: Pushing the SPORT button adjusts the powertrain for comfort- or sport-oriented performance, letting you enjoy a relaxed cruise through San Jose or a fast-paced adventure across California’s rugged landscape.
  • Power Steering Plus: This speed-sensitive system firms up at higher speeds and relaxes during low-speed maneuvers for improved agility in any driving situation.
  • Optional Air Suspension with PASM: Available self-leveling air suspension continuously adjusts ride height, while the accompanying Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) alters damping force as necessary, based on your driving style and road conditions.
