Porsche Macan gets significant updates for 2022

KUALA LUMPUR: Only after a couple of years, Porsche introduces the next subtle makeover for its high-selling SUV, the Macan, in the European market The SUV not only gets a sharper design but also the increased performance, and new creature comforts for the 2022 model year. The luxury marque is offering the new Porsche Macan in three trims - Base, S, and GTS, all are significantly more powerful than their predecessors. However, it is still numb on the Macan EV details.

At the bottom of the lineup sits the Macan Base, which is powered by the same 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine, which now churns out a higher output of 261 hp (13 hp more) and a peak torque of 400 Nm (30 Nm more). With that much grunt and seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, the SUV can hit the century sprint in 5.8 seconds and can reach the maximum speed of 230 kmph.

Porsche claims a zero-to-100-kmph time of 4.4 seconds with the Sport Chrono Pack and a top speed of 257 kmph. Adding to the new SUV’s smooth ride and handling are standard Porsche Active Suspension Management and Porsche Surface Coated Brakes.

A GTS sport package is also on offer with inclusions like Sport Chrono Package, launch control function, torque-vectoring rear axle, Pirelli P Zero Corsa summer tyres, sport seats, carbon fiber elements, and more black exterior trim.
