The NEW 2024 Porsche Macan! Total GAME CHANGER!

Meet the 2024 Porsche Macan, where an exciting sporty drive meets unexpected practicality. With a record of almost 27,000 Americans making it their choice in 2023, the Macan isn’t just an ordinary SUV, it’s a statement. Here’s the scoop on why we think the 2024 model is the best one yet and what fresh surprises Porsche has lined up for us in 2024…

Pure driving soul

The 2024 Macan is Porsche’s idea of a massappeal compact luxury SUV, with a relatively good price point, practical passengerfriendly body and a pure driving soul.

It’s athletic and engaging, with quick delightful accelerations that will put a smile on your face, especially in the S and GTS variants. Even the base turbocharged 2.0liter inlinefour engine will put the 261 hp and 295 lbft of torque to good use, by getting from 0 to 60 in about 5.5 seconds. If you want more, there’s space for improvement and that’s the beauty of it.

The Macan S version is a turbo V6, with 375 hp and 383 lbft of torque that can hit 60 mph from a standstill in an impressive 3.8 3.9 seconds. That’s quicker than the Audi SQ5 or the Jaguar FPace S.

You will get even more excitement from the Macan GTS, which adds another turbocharger to the mix, for a total of 434 horsepower and a 060 time of 3.5 seconds.

These power figures and quick acceleration times are important in a midsize crossover SUV with a sporty Porsche legacy under its flesh…well, metal… but that is not everything. What makes the Macan such a great option in 2024 is its allaround versatility on the road as an SUV.

It’s actually an SUV that the driver will enjoy just as much as the passenger. The ride is smooth and carefully controlled, especially if you opt for the air suspension; the steering is precise, but not as tight or heavy as in a Porsche sports car. But that highprofile SUV height is quickly forgotten when going through a quick corner. The grip and the handling could convince you to trade out your sports car or sedan for this Macan at any time.

A nice place to be in

The Macan is not just a nice car to drive, it’s also a nice place to be in, especially as a driver. The view from the driver’s seat is classic Porsche. The large central tachometer is there, staring you in the face, just like in a classic 911. The center console holds Porsche’s multimedia touchscreen equipped with standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

The materials are topnotch, the fit and finish are impeccable and the driving position is low and sporty, respecting the Porsche badge. It’s true that if you really want to enjoy it, you’ll have to splash out a little on an optional spec, like the Bordeaux red leather or the 18way adjustable adaptive sport bolstered seats. The optional 10speaker Bose system is also a mustbuy for a nice longdrive atmosphere.

The back seats might not be just as comfortable as in an X3 or Mercedes GLC, and it might feel a bit tight back there, especially for larger adults. The sloping roofline and narrow door opening also makes installing a child seat a bit of a struggle. But it’s fine, you’ll manage. The Isofix anchors are easy to find beneath their plastic covers, and if you’re mostly carrying your kids in the back, there’s plenty of space for fun family road trips.

In terms of size, the Macan is smaller in length, height and has a smaller wheelbase than an X3 and GLX. That’s also why the trunk space is a bit smaller than on its rivals. But still, if you want unmatched athleticism and pure driving excitement from your SUV, you’d have to compromise on a few other things. And that’s what the 2024 Macan is a nice allaround package, that can do both practicality and sportiveness well, but excels at driving. We don’t think you’d get a better package of the two in today’s day and age.

Good residual value

The Porsche Macan is well known to retain a high percentage of its original purchase price over the years, especially when talking about the V6 versions. The brilliant handling, the highquality interior and the Porsche badge in itself are attributes that hold its value well. Experts show that after 3 years it would have retained about 63% of its initial value. So overall, the 2024 Macan is also set to strongly retain its value over years.

And it won’t punch a hole in your wallet while owning it either. The Macan lives up to its EPA estimation of 19 mpg combined. The turbocharged fourcylinder can even get 23 mpg combined in realworld situations. It’s good, given it’s a Porsche carrying a lineage of purebred racing DNA.
