Specifications

The 2021 Porsche Macan crossover is built on the MLB platform, which it shared with the second generation Audi Q5 II model.

This «trolley» is characterized by the widespread use of high-strength steels and aluminum, as well as the presence of completely independent suspensions, the type of which depends on the specific version.

Note that the basic version of the SUV uses a multi-link suspension with steel springs and conventional shock absorbers.

However, the vehicle can be ordered with Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), where the damping rate varies depending on driving style and road conditions.

The drive is already complete in the base, and the intelligent Torque Vectoring Plus system is responsible for the redistribution of torque, thereby improving controllability on various types of surfaces.

Porsche Macan in a new body has the following overall dimensions, mm

Length — 4 684 — 4 686
Width — 1 923 — 1 926
Height — 1 609 — 1 624
Wheelbase — 2 807
Ground clearance (clearance) — 190-205

According to the data sheet, the volume of the Macan’s trunk is by default equal to 500 liters, but by folding the rear seats (40:20:40) it can be increased up to 1,500 liters.

The car has a 65-liter fuel tank. In running order, the weight of the car varies from 1,795 to 1,945 kg.

All versions of the crossover are equipped with a seven-speed PDK robot with two clutches and an all-wheel drive transmission, but the engines of different model versions are different.

The basic version relies on a 2.0-liter inline «turbo four» with a capacity of 252 hp. (370 Nm). With such a motor, the crossover is capable of accelerating from zero to a hundred in 6.7 seconds, and its maximum speed reaches 227 km / h.

Next comes the Macan S, which is powered by a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 engine. The latter develops 354 hp. and 480 Nm, allowing the car to accelerate from 0-100 km / h in 5.3 seconds. At the same time, the maximum speed is declared at around 254 km / h.

Another step up is the Macan GTS. It is driven by a 2.9-liter biturbo V6 engine with 380 horsepower (520 Nm). This version of the model is able to «shoot» from 0-100 km / h in 4.9 seconds, accelerating up to 261 km / h.

The top version of the crossover is the Porsche Macan Turbo, where the output of the 2.9-liter V6 with two turbines is increased to 440 «horses» and 550 Nm of torque.

The flagship is capable of exchanging the first hundred in 4.5 seconds, and its speed limit is 270 kilometers per hour.

Earlier in the lineup there was also a diesel Macan S Diesel, equipped with a three-liter turbocharged «turbo six» on heavy fuel, developing 245 hp. and 580 Nm.

Now this option is not available, but you may get caught on the secondary housing. It goes up to a hundred in 6.4 seconds, the maximum speed is 227 km / h.

For a measured ride in the city, even a basic two-liter version is enough for the eyes, and for regular trips on the highway, it is better to give preference to older versions: on versions with V6, the power reserve is enough even for intensive trips somewhere in the mountains.

During the planned restyling, the Germans did not rebuild the Porsche Macan chassis, so the chassis of the crossover is still tuned with a great emphasis on handling, while comfort questions arise — the suspension is somewhat stiff.

First of all, the «German» is intended for operation on asphalt, but even outside public roads it feels quite confident: the «glamorous» crossover is able to drive even where not every jeep will stick.

The interior of the new 2021 Porsche Macan is classic, with lots of analog buttons in the center tunnel. However, they are located adequately and you can interact with them without being distracted from the road.

The only ergonomic puncture is seen except for the steering wheel heating button: it is located on the spoke and constantly gets under the fingers.

The front seats of the model have numerous adjustments and enveloping lateral bolsters. Sitting in them, as if you merge into a single whole with the machine.

In terms of dimensions, the new Porsche Macan is far from the smallest car, but its back row is frankly cramped: tall passengers rest their heads against the ceiling, and their knees against the hard backs of the front seats.
