We Recommend

The Porsche Macan is available in two trims yet the Base trim would suit most of the driving conditions and the S trim is best suited for those who seek to have a compact and powerful SUV. Furthermore, the SUV comes along with many optional features and packages such as the Sport Chrono package that you can opt for and customize your Porsche accordingly. 

Though this year's Macan is powered by the same powertrain from the previous model year, they have tuned down the powertrain just a little. Porsche installed a 2.0 liter turbocharged inline 4 engine that is capable of generating 248 horsepower and 273 lb. ft torque. This engine comes paired with a 7-speed automatic PDK transmission and an all-wheel-drive system. Rather than overwhelming the Macan with brute strength Porsche has made it more agile with multiple suspension settings. The engine sound is melodious and the power delivery is linear. With an exception for the crossover shell, the Macan acts and behaves like a true sports car.

Going up against the competitors, the Porsche Macan is at par with the rivals with almost similar power and torque figures. The Volvo XC60 has the best power rating while both the Macan and the GLC 300 has the highest torque figures among the rivals on the list.

Acceleration

Even with lesser horses, Porsche managed to keep its performance on par. Now how did they do that? They stripped down some extra weight from the front suspension to gain satisfactory results. It is still capable of attaining a speed of 60 MPH in 6. 3 seconds. For even better performance you can go for the Sports Chrono package which is usually priced around $1,000 more but decreases the time duration to 6.1 seconds.

With this acceleration, the 2019 Porsche Macan performs on par and in some cases even better than most of its competitors. However, it still lags when compared to the BMW X3 and the Volvo XC60.

Ride and Handling

It might look like an SUV but the Macan shares the core of a true sports car. Porsche even kept the powertrain simple and infused all their mechanical creativity into the suspension settings. Speaking of suspension settings, the brand offers you three choices, steel springs with damper, steel springs with adjustable dampers, or air springs with adjustable dampers. Apart from that Porsche made a bunch of changes starting with the weight reduction, revised anti-rollover bars, new engine mounts, and new tire choices.

Moreover, it comes equipped with the standard Porsche Stability Management system and Porsche Traction Management System that keeps it quite stable when at high speed. Although the Macan is not such an off-roader as the others. However, it can handle itself well on a little patchy road.

Braking

The 2019 Porsche Macan comes with 13.6 inches internally vented brake rotors with 4-piston aluminum monobloc fixed calipers in the front and 13 inches internally vented brake rotors with floating calipers in the back. However, nothing can be said about their performance so far.

Towing Capacity

The 2019 Porsche Macan is quite an impressive hauler for a sports car and a moderate one for an SUV. It can easily tow up to 4,409 lbs which looks like an average of the class.

The Porsche Macan might not have the capacity to tow as much as the Velar or the X3. However, it is quite a better hauler than the GLC 300 and XC60

Building a sporty crossover is a piece of cake but making it efficient is a hell of a task. The Macan struggles to even achieve basic industry standards. Its appetite in the lanes of the city expands to give you an 18 mpg mileage, while the highway juices out 23 mpg at its max.

The Porsche Macan is the least fuel-efficient of all while the rest of the competitors are quite similar in terms of city, highway, and combined mileage figures. Despite Porsche's best efforts to make the Macan quite fuel-efficient, its enhanced sportiness hinders the overall mileage rating of the vehicle.

Not much about the 2019 Porsche Cayenne interior specs are available so far. However, all we can say right now is that it is quite spacious in the front but a little congested in the back. Moreover, its interiors are quite abundant with luxurious features and a well-attended cabin

Porsche has always been reluctant to reveal its vehicles' interior dimensions but the Macan's dimensions are at par with its rivals. The Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 and the BMW X3 have the most spacious cabin among the rivals on the list while they also have a quite luxurious and feature-rich cabin as well.

Infotainment Features

Infotainment System is part of the major upgrades in the 2019 Porsche Macan. The previous Porsche Communication system is replaced by the all-new integrated Porsche Communications system which comes with a 10.9-inch touch screen display. Moreover, it also comes installed with features like the Porsche Connect to keep you well connected to your Porsche. Some of the other infotainment Features are:

Cargo

The redesigning of this Porsche has widely affected the Cargo cabin. The 2019 Porsche comes with a cargo volume of 17.6 cu. ft and can be extended up to 52.9 cu. ft when the rear seats are folded. Looks like the coupe-style roof has quite an impact on the cargo cabin.

The new Macan has quite a congested cargo cabin when compared to the others in the class. However, the Velar still leads the class with its spacious cargo volume.

Porsche's first compact SUV attempt was a master design failure, people and critics were equally resistant to the change. However, with time, the design has evolved into something more aggressive and attractive.

The 2019 iteration comes with a revamped design and looks more powerful and aggressive than before. Its front gets a little wider and is installed with LED headlights, whereas the tailgate lights illuminate the Porsche logo to make it more daunting.

Speaking of the dimensions, this 4,099 heavy SUV is 184.9 inches in length, 81.5 inches in width, and 65 inches in height. That is quite extruding when compared to other SUVs of the class.

Neither of the Porsche cars has been crash-tested by the NHTSA or the IIHS for the 2019 year and thus the Macan has no reports for its crash tests. That being said, the Porsche has inculcated precision German engineering and baked in quite of few safety features and driver assistance features to make the Macan a safe haven for you and your family. The feature list is extensive and a highlight of those features is listed below. 

• Electronic Stability Control (ESC) And Driveline Traction Control
• Standard Lane departure warning and a rearview camera
• Surround-view parking camera
• ParkAssist Front And Rear Parking Sensors
• Lane keep assist
• Lane change assist, and traffic jam assist with adaptive cruise control
• Tire Specific Low Tire Pressure Warning

2019 Porsche Macan vs Volvo XC60

The Volvo XC60 has been in the market for about a decade now. On the other hand, this Macan is the 2nd generation flagship of the original one which was first released in 2015. Most of the specs of the new Macan are not available. However, of those available, the Macan seems to lag in almost all the aspects when compared to the Volvo XC60 making it a better option. If you still want to experience a sporty drive you can go for the Macan.

2019 Porsche Macan vs Mercedes Benz GLC 300

The Mercedes GLC class is a year older than the Macan. However, when we compare the current models, it can be said that the Macan runs on par with the GLC. Although it lacks the roominess that the GLC provides. So if you are ok with a quiet and composed ride to go for the GLC, but a sporty ride, Macan would be a better option.

2019 Porsche Macan vs BMW X3

The BMW X3 belongs to one of the oldest models of the class. However, after so many years, it has started looking a bit aged. While on the other hand, the new and redesigned Macan is quite aggressive and beastly in style. Although the BMW X3 is better in all the other aspects when compared to the new Macan. So if you can compromise with the look the BMW X3 could be a better option even for providing you a sporty drive.

The 2019 Porsche Macan has entered the market with quite some extravagant features along with a new look. Nimble handling and sportiness are what this crossover has to offer, however, it still lags when compared to others in the class. The high price is another thing which may affect your buying preference. Otherwise going with the new Porsche Macan is a breath of fresh air in the rugged SUV world.
