5 reasons to buy the 2022 Porsche Macan

1. Powerful engine options

The 2022 Porsche Macan is a versatile luxury SUV with three robust engine options for various driving situations. A base turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder with 261 hp anchors the 2022 Macan (a slight increase from the 2021 model year), or you'll find a turbocharged 3.0L V6 with 375 hp in S models. If that's not enough power, a turbocharged 2.9L V6 with 434 hp is standard on the Macan GTS. So whether you drive in the city or enjoy the open roads, one of the Macan's potent engine options will fit your lifestyle.

2. Exceptional handling

If you're a driving enthusiast, the 2022 Porsche Macan delivers track-worthy handling with its Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) adaptive suspension dampers (standard on S), which ensure agile performance with a smooth and comfortable ride. Climbing to the top-of-the-line GTS model adds a standard adaptive air suspension, allowing you to adjust the ride height and suspension settings to suit your driving conditions. Additionally, the 2022 Macan's standard all-wheel-drive system helps to provide better traction and stability on slippery or uneven road surfaces.

3. Versatile interior

The 2022 Porsche Macan has an adaptable interior accommodating five passengers and cargo. The Macan's cabin is comfortable and high-end, boasting heated front seats, tri-zone climate control, and partial leather upholstery in the base model, while the GTS adds sport front seats with leather and faux suede upholstery. In addition, ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, and a panoramic moonroof are available. With all seats in place, the 2022 Macan can hold 17.2 cu-ft of cargo, and folding the rear seats provides 53 cubes of volume to carry luggage and golf clubs.

4. Sleek design

The 2022 Porsche Macan boasts a stylish design that will turn heads. With its sporty profile, low stance, and distinctive front grille, the Macan has an elegant and athletic look. In addition, the Macan comes with standard LED headlights and 19-inch wheels at the base level. As you climb the trims, so do the wheel sizes. The Macan S boasts 20-inch wheels, while the sporty GTS has 21-inch black-painted wheels.

5. Advanced technology

The 2022 Porsche Macan has all the ingredients for a connected drive. The Macan features a standard infotainment system with an intuitive interface and a 10.9-inch touchscreen display to control the standard navigation system and wireless Apple CarPlay® capabilities. An available Wi-Fi hotspot allows your passengers to stream, game, and communicate on long drives, and there are standard USB ports to charge devices on the go.
