SUCCESSFUL PORSCHE MODEL FURTHER ENHANCED
The Porsche Macan has been a great success since its launch in 2014 and the compact SUV has now been significantly enhanced in terms of design, comfort, connectivity, and driving dynamics.
The front-end of the Macan has been meticulously re-worked so that it now appears even wider, while the comprehensive overhaul at the rear builds on the sleek design of the predecessor model. The three-part, three-dimensional LED light strip represents another typical Porsche design element at the rear. The fourpoint design of the brake lights also reflects the identity of the brand.
The most striking innovations inside include a 10.9-inch touchscreen for the new Porsche Communication Management (PCM), re-designed and re-positioned air vents, and the GTsports steering wheel familiar from the 911. The PCM enables access to new digital functions, such as intelligent voice control and the online navigation system provided as standard. The range of comfort equipment of the vehicle has also been expanded to include a traffic jam assist, an ioniser, and a windscreen that can be heated.
The chassis has been fine-tuned further to enhance neutrality while maintaining stability and improving comfort. The revised Macan still features mixed tyres with different widths on the front and rear axles. This arrangement enables the driver to take full advantage of the intelligent, all-wheel drive Porsche Traction Management (PTM) when it comes to driving dynamics.
The Macan now has newly developed tyres with improved performance characteristics, while new 20- and 21-inch wheels offer greater scope to customise the design. The updated Macan will be available in South Africa by year-end.
