2020 Porsche Macan S: The SUV that thinks it's a hot hatch

Since its launch in 2014, the Porsche Macan has led the pack when it comes to combining SUV style and practicality with fun driving dynamics. In this CarGurus video, Dan Prosser puts the revised 2020 Macan S to the test to see if Porsche has been able to improve upon a winning formula.
Written review: www.cargurus.c...
Pros
A genuinely sporty SUV
The diesel is surprisingly economical
Superbly made cabin
Cons
Tight on rear-seat space
Petrol models are thirsty
You can buy more practical SUVs for less
The CarGurus verdict
Whether or not the Porsche Macan is for you depends on one of several things, but the most significant is arguably how important it is to drive an SUV that feels sporty on the road. In that respect, only Alfa Romeo’s Stelvio comes close, but it can’t match the Porsche for the quality of the fit and finish of the interior or the impressive residual values.
Because there is so little to visually distinguish between the versions of the Macan, you could buy the entry-level, four-cylinder version and save yourself a small fortune over the Turbo and few people would be any the wiser. But if you’d like to have one of the fastest and most tenacious SUVs ever to tackle a winding road, the GTS or Turbo are hard to resist.
We think drivers will be pleasantly impressed by the spacious boot - not something you find on a Porsche every day - but the back seats are on the snug side, so other midsize SUVs do better on practicality. But if you want a car that puts the sport into Sport Utility Vehicle, the Macan’s for you.

[@jbutzi]

That was a really great review. Very professional in all respects!

[@enlightenedmanagement]

Bought one in 2017 - just ordered my new one in Miami Blue 🔥

[@shaheenevans]

Keep up the great reviews Dan, part of the Magic three presenters Lamb chops, jethro and Dan!

[@SamGiles]

Fantastic review, Dan. Couldn't agree more, the Macan is still the benchmark.

[@malcolmscott4150]

Great review Dan - love the green

[@cestrian5294]

You can tell Dan is a good driver as he doesn’t do the straight arms faux racing driver pose that many RUclips heroes do.

[@ThomasHoffDE]

[@Chris-ws2iy]

I am driving Macan 2017, but I think is time to update it, so let we see what has this to offer 😁

[@Dr.Ijaz_ab]

Christina Boss I m planning to get a 2017 one. How's your experience so far? Is it model S?

Here's a car for Kermit the Frog

Just ordered one but not in that Yuk :-)

Porsche doesn't stand behind the quality of their vehicles. The transfer case on 2015 Macan S has failed twice now in only 27,000 miles. This is a known issue which caused Porsche to extend their warranty to 7 ys. Their "improved" transfer case lasted only 2 years 2 months and 9,000 miles. I am out of warranty by 6 weeks and Porsche turns their back on problem and sticks me for $3,200 repair. Don't buy a Porsche w/o extended warranty for entire length of time you expect to own it. #1 rated warranty company - Endurance - won't even sell coverage on Macan. That should tell Porsche and all potential buyers something. Customer experience is far from an expected premium car brand experience.

Who the fuck needs all those HP??

[@PhilbyFavourites]

Try an AMG GLA45: 375hp and stunning to boot. Far more understated than a shouty Porsche.
Perhaps you wanted a shouty Porsche.....

[@litespeed65]

Stop calling it an SUV, it’s a car. Leftist logic: 2+2=7
My Golf R has the same cargo capacity and will crush the Macan by any measure.
Raise the ride height of a small car and market it to sheeple who don’t like sedans and $$$

[@lesgrossman9492]

The only difference between this and the Golf is this isn’t a piece of shit.

[@benjaminthompson4979]

STOPPPPPP. This is a PORSCHE. Thats the difference

[@thewiseowl3672]

If this were 1943 you wouldn’t be raving about German engineering. How quickly you forget.

[@arj-]

German engineering in 1943 was miles ahead of anything else as well though

[@stevenalderley9036]

Horrible colour

[@olasek7972]

Steve Alderley love the color
