The model
Read full Porsche Macan reviewAbove all, sports SUVs have to be fun – and the Porsche Macan absolutely delivers. It can turn from comfortable cruiser to backroad bruiser at the flick of a switch, especially when equipped with air suspension. Interior quality impresses too, although there are more spacious alternatives and safety provisions are rather disappointing. The GTS is the one we’d dream of buying, but the Macan T is a great all-rounder.
The trim
See full equipmentThe entry-level model gets 20in alloy wheels, heated eight-way electric front seats, a powered tailgate, steel suspension, LED headlights, two-zone climate control, wireless phone-charging and a heat pump.
The engine
See full engine specsWith "just" 335bhp, is the entry-level model fast enough? Well, the answer depends on your expectations. It doesn’t punch you in the gut like the Turbo flagship, but with instant torque, it feels sprightly in everyday driving, and there’s enough low-down shove to play with the car’s balance on a country road.
