Passenger & boot space
How it copes with people and clutter
Front space
Despite the Porsche Macan’s sleek silhouette, there’s plenty of room in the front, and even very tall drivers won’t feel at all hemmed in.
There are two fixed cupholders just in front of the armrest, and under the armrest you'll find a cubby that houses two USB-C sockets. It’s the perfect place for stowing your phone, and you can specify a smartphone holder with wireless charging.
Boot space
The Macan’s boot floor sits flush with its load lip, making loading a doddle. Some rivals, including the Q5 and X3, can swallow slightly more luggage, but the Macan's load bay is a useful square shape and we managed to slot eight carry-on suitcases below the parcel shelf.
Useful touches include a hook to hang a shopping bag on and a recessed cubby with some netting, which is perfect for stopping bottles flying around. There’s a fair-sized storage area under the boot floor if you don’t specify the optional space-saver spare tyre. If you do, the wheel uses up virtually all that handy space.
