5 reasons to buy the 2015 Porsche Macan
1. Six-cylinder engine
The 2015 Porsche Macan offers a robust 3.0L six-cylinder engine on the Macan S and Turbo models. In the Macan S trim, the engine produces 340 horsepower and is capable of reaching 60 mph in 5.2 seconds, according to Porsche. If you need additional power, the Turbo model bumps the size of the engine up to 3.6L and produces 400 horsepower. Both of these engine options will leave you feeling confident when passing slow-moving traffic.
2. PDK Transmission
The PDK transmission in the Macan gives you the control of a manual transmission with the convenience of an automatic. This seven-speed transmission lets you experience motorsport-like shifts, which occur in milliseconds with no interruption in the flow of power. It also offers a coasting mode to help reduce emissions while returning up to an EPA-estimated 23 MPG on the highway.
3. Beautiful interior design
The Macan offers an interior design that is exactly what you would expect from a luxury SUV. It is driver-centric to ensure you have access to everything you need in the cabin and have a clear line of sight to the road ahead. The Macan also offers a variety of options for interior upholstery and trim, including black and grey leather and trim in dark walnut or brushed aluminum.
4. Ready for winter
The 2015 Porsche Macan comes standard with all-wheel drive, ensuring you feel confident on the road when conditions may introduce cold weather, ice, or snow. While that confidence is nice to have, it’s also good to feel comfortable in the cold weather. The Macan offers features such as heated seats (front and rear) and a heated steering wheel.
5. Luxurious features available
You probably expect a Porsche model to bring luxury options to the table, and the Macan does not disappoint. The long list of available features includes adaptive cruise control, adaptive headlights with automatic high beams, and a 16-speaker Burmester® audio system. These technologies are an added perk to other available equipment such as full-leather upholstery, triple-zone climate control, and eight-way power seats with memory settings.
