Porsche has always been known for its sports cars, but in the Chinese market, its most popular product is the SUV. Although the Macan is a five-seater SUV, it has a more sporty design, making it look like a crossover.
 
PORSCHE CLAIMS THAT THE MACAN IS THE SPORTS CAR OF THE SUV WORLD, AND THE MACAN REALLY LIVES UP TO THE HYPE, AND ITS HANDLING PERFORMANCE HAS REALLY RECEIVED PRAISE. The Porsche Macan is based on the chassis of the Audi Q5, which resembles a Cayenne and is equipped with Michelin tyres, and all fears that the Audi Q5 platform will limit the power performance of the MACAN will disappear the moment you press the accelerator. Porsche has always emphasized the sporty DNA of its own PDK, and its 3.0T and 3.6T versions are more powerful than most sports cars. In addition, the Macan is equipped with Active Suspension Management (PASM) as standard, which means electronic damping with variable damping. In the default "Comfort" mode, the vehicle filters just the right amount of bumps in the road and provides the necessary support when the body rolls. It's not as smooth as a luxury sedan, but it's comfortable enough for an SUV.
 
Like the Porsche Cayenne and 911, the lower front seats immediately stimulate the driver's desire to go off-road. THE CENTRE CONSOLE OF THE MACAN IS THE SAME AS THAT OF THE CAYENNE, BUT WITH A HIGHER LEVEL OF INTEGRATION, WHILE THE ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM OF THE PORSCHE CAYENNE GTS IS DIRECTLY DERIVED FROM THE 911, WHICH HAS BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH PORSCHE SPORTS CARS FOR A LONG TIME. Although the MACAN is positioned for control, Porsche has played a trick of space magic. It's more than enough for five adults to sit in, and the size of the trunk is enough for a road trip. There is almost every configuration you can think of on this car, and if you want to take the luxury even further, you can also buy a Berlin sound system.
 
In terms of reliability, Porsche has always had a good reputation among luxury cars, but the Macan has lagged behind. While major components such as the engine and gearbox performed well, some piecemeal faults caused some annoyance for car owners. In terms of consumer reports' quality statistics, MACAN's reliability is only average. Air conditioners often do not refrigerate, and oil drips often occur in the exhaust pipes. The quality of the entertainment system from the sports car will drop dramatically over time. In Europe, thanks to Porsche's dense dealership and service network, quality issues do not seem to have affected sales of the Porsche MACAN.
 
Equipped with electronic stability control and frontal collision warning sensors, the Porsche MACAN received a 5-star safety rating at E-NCAP, but it did not take part in the more stringent US IIHS crash tests.
