Porsche Macan 2016 UAE Prices & Specs

The Porsche Macan is a second SUV for the German premium brand and hopes to replicate the success of the Cayenne, albeit in the compact crossover segment. Taking the front fascia from its elder brother, the Macan doesn't disappoint in terms of looks. The rear of the vehicle however, is unique and could be termed as a love-or-hate affair. But the wide tyres which range from 18-inch to 21-inches do complement the somewhat muscular stance of the Macan. But it must be noted that it stands shorter and is marginally longer than its Q5 counterpart. As for the variants, Porsche has three. The first being the Macan S, which is equipped with a 3.0-litre twin-turbo V6 engine. It also features an active all-wheel-drive and a 7-speed double-clutch transmission. The second variant in the lineup is the Macan Turbo which gets a 3.6-litre turbocharged pertrol engine. Porsche claim that it is set to be the most powerful vehicle in the compact SUV segment. The third variant is the Macan Diesel which features a 3.0-litre turbo diesel engine, mated to a 7-speed transmission as well. The Diesel is not available in all GCC markets, unless special-ordered. Height-adjustable air suspension is optional on the S and standard on the Turbo. As with any Porsche, the interior is carefully setup. It follows the generic Porsche cockpit, but there happens to be a new steering wheel which is a welcome change from the one on the Cayenne. The Macan's interior comes in a variety of colours, but there also happens to be a Piano Black interior package with Alcantara inserts for the seats on the S variant. Available features include a multimedia touchscreen, navigation, rear camera, power seats, panoramic glass roof and much more from a long list of options. Safety features include Porsche Stability Management (PSM), as well as airbags for driver and passenger all around the vehicle.
