2023 Porsche Macan review

1. Fun to drive

The 2023 Porsche Macan is every bit a Porsche as you can get. While it may be an AWD SUV, it still drives with the same dynamic experience you'd expect from a sedan or sports car. The 2023 Porsche Macan S has a 375-hp engine and goes from zero to 60 mph in just 4.6 seconds (when new). At 434 hp, the twin-turbo 2.9L V6 in the 2023 Porsche Macan GTS offers even more impressive performance, including a 4.3-second zero-to-60 time. Lastly, the base-model Macan and its 261 hp four-cylinder still offer a heart-pounding experience.

2. Impressive luxury touches

You can find luxury touches on the 2023 Macan through the packages available on every model. Add the Premium or Premium Plus package to get a panoramic sunroof, ventilated leather front seats, suede inserts, and high-end headlights. Adaptive air suspension that adjusts to road conditions is available on any 2023 Porsche Macan trim, too. This lets you switch between three different ride settings for maximum comfort. Finally, available memory seats with 14-way adjustments include seat cushion depth adjustment for maximum comfort (when equipped with the Premium package).

3. Loads of standard tech features

Adaptive cruise control is standard on every 2023 Porsche Macan, and an impressive list of available tech features builds from there. Wireless smartphone connectivity, an available Wi-Fi hotspot, and a 10.9-inch touchscreen are also standard.

Automatic parking and parking assists make city driving a breeze, even if you aren't used to the size of an SUV. Intelligent LED headlights and forward collision automatic braking round out the long list of tech features you'll find on the 2023 Porsche Macan.

4. Going the distance between fill-ups

Considering the 2023 Porsche Macan is a sport-tuned SUV from a premium brand, you might expect it to come at the cost of fuel economy. However, the 2023 Porsche Macan with the base 2L four-cylinder gets an EPA-estimated 21 mpg combined fuel economy, reaching an estimated 25 mpg on the highway.

Even the high-powered 2023 Porsche Macan S gets an EPA-estimated 23 mpg on the highway, which gets you more miles on the road and less time at the pumps.

5. Fashion meets function

Don't let its luxurious interior fool you; the 2023 Porsche Macan can handle daily life with ease. There's 17.3 cu-ft of space behind the second-row seats, which can expand thanks to the 60/40 split-folding function. With both seats folded flat, there's an impressive 53 cu-ft of cargo space. Whether you're loading skis, a dog kennel, or boxes of furniture from your latest shopping trip, the 2023 Porsche Macan has room for everything.
