What's New
The 2022 Porsche Macan receives styling updates to the front and rear fascias, updated LED headlights, standard Sport Design mirrors, and new wheel designs while the interior receives minor updates to the center console controls and the powertrain lineup has been enhanced and reshuffled to cover the vacancy left by the Turbo trim.
Choosing Your Porsche Macan
There are three trim levels for the 2022 Macan luxury SUV: the base, S, and GTS, and starting prices range from $56,250 to $81,250.
Engine Choices
The base 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder puts out more power this year with 261 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. The 2.9-liter turbocharged V6 shifts from last year’s GTS to the S trim and it generates 375 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque while the GTS trim takes last year’s Turbo engine that puts out 434 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque. All engines are mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and power is routed to all four wheels.
Passenger and Cargo Capacity
The Macan seats five although it is not considered spacious for rear seat occupants or cargo. Its 186.1-inch length provides just 17.2 cubic feet of cargo space which expands to 53 cubic feet with the seatbacks folded.
The small crossover is rated to tow 4,409 pounds and can provide 8.9-inches of ground clearance when equipped with the optional air suspension.
Safety Features
The Macan is incredibly basic when it comes to active safety technology. Parking sensors, lane departure warnings, and rain-sensing wipers are standard while blind-spot monitoring and lane-keep assist are offered for $700 each, adaptive cruise control is $990, a surround-view camera is $1,200, and parking assist is available for $390.
Connectivity
The Macan is equipped with a 10.9-inch infotainment touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay, SiriusXM, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and four USB-C charge ports. The S and GTS trims offer a 14-speaker 665-watt Bose sound system for $990 or a 16-speaker Burmester sound system for $5,700.
