Based on the platform used for the Audi Q5, Porsche have taken this, stripped it and added their own thoughts and technology to provide themselves with a top notch base to begin with.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who is it aimed at?\u00a0<\/strong>As the name suggests its a Sports Utility Vehicle, which indicates it should be able to go off road. The Macan is all wheel drive but we all know that the vast majority of SUVs tyres rarely see a patch of off road terrain unless the driver has taken a wrong turn, instead Porsche have designed a vehicle that&#8217;s going to delight the people who want a good \u2018drivers\u2019 car but who also like to sit higher than a sports car. The Macan is aimed at people who want a car that is able to go off road, drives well and isn\u2019t as big as the Cayenne.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Styling?\u00a0<\/strong>Porsche have developed an SUV that still retains the unmistakable Porsche look such as the rounded headlights and the bulbous grills, an added feature not seen on any other Porsche is the clam bonnet that integrates the headlights and proved to be a problem for Porsche to get right. The Macan retains the sporty look thats synonymous with Porsche design, the sloping rear cuts into interior space but fits well with the Macan\u2019s profiling. The car is well proportioned and has almost identical measurements to the Range Rover Evoque.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Under the Bonnet?\u00a0<\/strong>The Macan comes with\u00a0three\u00a0engine choices, 3.0 litre V6 turbo diesel, 3.0 litre V6 twin turbo petrol and the 3.6 litre twin turbo petrol. I drove both the 3.0 litre Diesel and the 3.0 litre petrol. I found the 3.0 litre petrol the best out of the two, it can get from 0-62mph in a hugely impressive 5.4 seconds, has 335 bhp and reaches a top speed of 254kph. The 3.0 petrol is refined, responsive and when teamed with the PDK 7 speed gearbox becomes the best drivable SUV on the market. The Diesel is likely to\u00a0be the choice\u00a0for most buyers as its more user friendly and returns 6.3 litres (44.8 mpg) compared to the petrols 9.0\u00a0litres per 100 or 31.4 mpg. The diesel itself is quiet and pulls well when asked to, the only indication you would have that its a diesel is the glow plug warning light lit up on a cold winters morning. One thing to be aware of is that with the diesel and the rules on emissions it includes an additive that lasts just 16,000 kms, this is replaced during a service but if it runs out the car is unable to be restarted.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Macan_2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-9895\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Macan_2.jpg\" alt=\"Macan_2\" width=\"600\" height=\"298\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Macan_2.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Macan_2-300x149.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>What about\u00a0\u00a0Inside?<\/strong> The cabin is laid out in such a manner that its a pleasure to sit within, some people may find the array of buttons slightly daunting to begin with but after just a few minutes and without even needing to read manual it all becomes second nature. Everything is within easy reach and the quality of finish is of a very high standard. The driving position is excellent and the range of adjustments would make even the pickiest of complainers comfortable. There&#8217;s plenty of room in the front of the Macan but that.s less true in the back, room is some what hampered by the sloping rear and even more if a Panoramic roof option is chosen. The boot space is fair with 500 litres available, certainly not the biggest but this car has never set out to be a carrier of the weekend recycling trip. Once inside and driving along road noise is kept to a minimum, the DBS radio and satelite navigation are easy to use and the sound quality from the Bose speakers is excellent. As standard the Macan comes with automatic rear boot, folding mirrors and a multifunctional steering wheel.<\/p>\n<p><strong>On the Road\u00a0<\/strong>This is where the Porsche Macan really comes into its own. The Macan comes with a few suspension options, with the touch of a button you can go from comfort to sports mode, when going around the country routes the sports suspension setting is a must as it makes the handling sharper and more decisive. The test car came with 21 inch wheels, something that made the ride harder than normal but the quality of the handling and the smoothness of the ride is a class above anything else I\u2019ve driven.<\/p>\n<p>The Macan feels well balanced and holds the road superbly thanks to its all wheel drive system, the 7 speed auto changes are smooth and progress can be made quickly. Steering is direct and concise and the Macan feels like it always wants to go faster and dares you to push it harder into every corner.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Safety?\u00a0<\/strong>As standard the Macan comes with front, side and curtain airbags, there is stability control that works on individual wheels by braking during sudden manoeuvres. Porsche have put a system in place that makes the vehicle brake after a having impact to prevent another impact from possibly occurring. Options on the Macan to aid safety include rear airbags and lane departure that recognises when the car might be switching lanes due to driver error. The Macan also achieved a five star rating when tested by the EuroNCAP.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Options?\u00a0<\/strong>As standard the Macan comes with enough kit but some of the options available are well worth getting such as the Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) which helps to improve the ride, Bluetooth doesn\u2019t come as standard and is essential for people who are always on the move, the reversing camera aids the driver into a reversing parking space. Options not really worth getting is the Air suspension at a pricey \u20ac2,897 the PASM is a \u20ac 1,600 cheaper. And there really is no need for the large 21 inch wheels, true they do look good but do compromise ride quality and the 19 and 20 inch wheels are just as attractive. The panoramic roof is a costly extra and really does limit the already tight rear headroom.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Will it break the bank?<\/strong>\u00a0At \u20ac77,964 the Macan S is one of the more expensive compact SUV&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Economy?<\/strong>The official fuel consumption figures are 9.0\u00a0litres per 100 km\u00a0 or 31.4\u00a0miles to the gallon with carbon emissions of 209 g\/km so motor tax is a hefty \u20ac1,200 per year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Verdict?\u00a0<\/strong>The Porsche Macan simply put is the best SUV available on the market right now. The driving and handling are a class above rivals and the interior finish is superb, this car has pushed the boundaries of what an SUV should look and ride like. There is a good range of engines available but the pick of the bunch for me is the 3.0 litre petrol, its refined, fast, luxurious and will cause you less problems in the long run compared to the diesel. The Macan does have its bad points, its very pricey with a starting price of around \u20ac70,841\u00a0for the Macan S petrol and diesel models, there isn\u2019t a lot of space if you\u2019re thinking of lugging around people and luggage and the standard equipment list isn\u2019t very generous when you consider how much the vehicle costs.<\/p>\n<p>All in all this is a superb package from a company on its maiden voyage into the compact SUV market.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why you\u2019ll buy one?<\/strong>\u00a0Stunning looks; Racing Heritage; driving dynamics<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why you won\u2019t?<\/strong>\u00a0 Price<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rivals<\/strong><br \/>\nAudi SQ5 -\u20ac75,950<br \/>\nBMW\u00a0X3 xDrive35d M Sport &#8211; \u00a0\u20ac75,660<br \/>\nLexus NX \u00a0F SPORT AWD &#8211; \u20ac57,950<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Porsce Macan S Petrol<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Engine:<\/strong> 2997cc, 250 kW (340 hp) 460 Nm at 1,450 &#8211; 5,000<br \/>\n<strong>Max speed:<\/strong>\u00a0254 kph, 0-100\u00a0: 5.4 seconds<br \/>\n<strong>Emissions ( Motor Tax) :<\/strong> 212 g\/km (\u20ac1,200)<br \/>\n<strong>Model price range<\/strong>:\u00a0\u20ac77,964 model test, model price range\u00a0\u20ac70,841 &#8211; \u20ac106,366<br \/>\n<strong>No of Doors:<\/strong> 5 doors<br \/>\n<strong>Euro NCAP :<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a05 stars<br \/>\n<strong>Fuel type:<\/strong> Petrol<br \/>\n<strong>Fuel Economy (combined cycle):<\/strong> 9.0\u00a0litres per 100 km (31.4 mpg)<br \/>\n<strong>Boot Capacity Seats up:<\/strong> 500 litres<br \/>\n<strong>Length:<\/strong> 4681mm<br \/>\n<strong>Width:<\/strong> 1923mm<br \/>\n<strong>Height:<\/strong> 1624mm<br \/>\n<strong>Wheelbase:<\/strong> 2807mm<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For more information check out \u00a0the <a href=\"www.porschedublin.ie\">Porsche Centre Dublin<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0the Porsche Dublin\u00a0<a style=\"color: #b33b77;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/PorscheCentreDublin?fref=ts\">Facebook\u00a0<\/a>page<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hannah Gordon<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>4th December, 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The luxury compact crossover segment is the new battleground for premium carmakers and recently even \u00a0Porsche joined the fray with the introduction of the Macan writes Hannah Gordon What is it?\u00a0The Macan is Porsche first venture into the compact SUV market, its the smaller sibling to the hugely successful Cayenne and Porsche hope that they [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":9895,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,297,4],"tags":[503,1246,1204,2019,2020],"class_list":["post-9886","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-new-car-reviews","category-compact-suv-2","category-car-road-tests","tag-featured","tag-hannah-gordon","tag-porsche","tag-porsche-dublin","tag-porsche-macan"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 -
