Basics About the 2023 Porsche Macan
Powertrain Options
It’s easy to see that the Macan is a serious driver’s vehicle when even its base 2.0L turbo engine produces impressive performance at 261 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. The Macan S increases power further with its 375-horsepower 2.9L twin-turbo V6. Meant for hardcore track enthusiasts, the GTS generates a monstrous 434 horsepower and 405 lb-ft of torque, helping it to achieve a top speed of 169 mph and a 0-60 time of just 4.3 seconds.
Transmitting this incredible power to all four wheels is the 7-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) dual-clutch transmission, which features an electronically controlled multi-plate clutch. It also uses an auto brake differential and anti-slip regulation for enhancing handling and precision.
Chassis
Utilizing the Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) system, the Macan takes driver input and surface conditions into account as it adjusts the suspension’s damping force. The result is an optimal amount of traction, no matter which road you take. The driver can access the system’s various modes to increase comfort or vehicle responsiveness, as well.
The optional air suspension lets you raise or lower the ride height, giving it more ground clearance or making it easier to load cargo.
Interior
When you sit in the Macan’s power-adjustable sport seats, you’ll enjoy excellent visibility and ergonomics, allowing you to feel in total control of your drive. Available adaptive sport seats provide extra bolstering, 18-way power adjustability, and memory settings. Silver and high-gloss black trim add sophistication to the sporty cockpit. Standard tri-zone climate control with particulate filtering and available ventilated seats keep the cabin cozy.
Up to 53 cubic feet of cargo space is available when the split-folding rear seats are down.
Infotainment System
The Porsche Communication Management (PCM) system is accessible through a 10.9-inch TFT display that features voice recognition, Apple CarPlay integration, and a navigation module. Long road trips don’t have to be a bore since a SiriusXM satellite radio trial subscription is available with every model. Available Porsche Connect lets users connect their devices to the internet through the vehicle’s mobile Wi-Fi hotspot.
Audiophiles will want to opt for the 1,000-watt Burmester High-End Surround Sound System and its 16 individually controlled speakers. Not only does the system deliver unparalleled sound, it also uses a microphone-based sound conditioner to optimize the listening experience as driving conditions change.
