The 2021 Porsche Macan is offered in three variations, but all of them make use of a seven-speed PDK transmission and AWD to get moving. The power plant of each is the biggest difference between them, with the base model offering a 2.0-liter turbo-four, the mid-level trim featuring a 3.0-liter turbocharged V6, and the top trim boasting a stunning 2.9-liter twin-turbo V6 with 375 hp. Standard features across the range include LED lighting, a 10.9-inch touchscreen infotainment display, parking sensors, partial leather upholstery, a ten-speaker sound system, and wireless Apple CarPlay. Sizing of wheels starts at 18 inches on the base model, with each trim thereafter seeing its rims grow by one inch. However, despite a lofty asking price, all Macan variants are missing the standard fitment of advanced driver aids like adaptive cruise control or adaptive headlights, and you need to tick a few boxes on the options list to have a really good vehicle.
If you're content with the base Macan's output and styling but want a little something extra, you may be interested in the Premium package at $4,720. It adds a panoramic roof, keyless entry, lane change assist, heated front seats, adaptive LED headlights, and a Bose sound system 12-speaker sound system. Alternatively, you can spec the Premium Package Plus option, which adds the same features plus 14-way power front seats with both heating and ventilation. This package will set you back $7,400. Package prices differ slightly for the top two trims. The Sport Chrono package with its additional drive mode and launch control function is another popular choice and costs $1,360. All new models have acces to optional driver-assist technologies that will prove worthwhile, including adaptive cruise control ($1,170) and lane change assistance ($700).
