The Porsche Macan has just been launched in Malaysia, with official prices finally confirmed. The range – four in total – will start at RM420,000 for the base Macan, which is RM30,000 less than the estimated pricing Sime Darby Auto Performance (SDAP) released last May.
This base model is powered by a 2.0 litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine from the Volkswagen Group, which has 237 hp and 350 Nm (from 1,500 to 4,500 rpm). It’ll do 0-100 km/h in 6.9 seconds, on to a top speed of 223 km/h through a standard seven-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission. It’s claimed to consume just 7.2 litres per 100 km in the combined cycle.
Next in line is the Macan S Diesel, going for RM545,000 – RM5,000 down from the estimated price. Its 3.0 litre turbodiesel V6 engine makes 245 hp and 580 Nm of torque, and gets to 100 km/h in 6.3 seconds (6.1 seconds with the optional Sport Chrono package). Top speed is 230 km/h, and it’ll average between 6.3 to 6.1 litres per 100 km.
On to the petrol-powered Macan S, the RM560,000 sporty SUV gets a 3.0 litre twin-turbo V6 engine with 340 hp and 460 Nm of torque. Performance is well up from the two lesser models, with 0-100 km/h done in 5.4 seconds (5.2 with Sport Chrono) and 254 km/h top whack. Fuel wise, it’ll use 8.7 to 9.0 litres per 100 km.
The top-of-the-range Porsche Macan Turbo goes for RM785,000. The big asking price nets you a 3.6 litre twin-turbo V6 motor which does 400 hp and 550 Nm of torque. The century sprint is over in 4.8 seconds (4.6 with Sport Chrono) and the top speed is 266 km/h. If you have to ask, it’ll do 8.9 to 9.2 litres per 100 km.
Standard features vary between the four models, but each will have a long list of optional extras. Bigger wheels (up to 21-inches), exterior/interior carbon-fibre add-ons, air suspension, they’re all available, limited only by your wallet depth. Watch out, Range Rover Evoque, the Macan is here to eat you up.
All prices are Nett Selling Price before OTR costs (registration fee, road tax) and insurance. As usual, all Macan models come with a four-year warranty as well as a four-year free service, parts and maintenance package.

The Porsche Macan comes standard with MICHELIN Latitude Sport 3 tyres for your driving pleasure.
beli Macan memang tak lalu makan liao
What are the colours offered for this car? Cause there will be alot of macai looking for blue colour and once they got it, they would love to replace the “n” with “i” .. Porsche Macai Turbo.. How magnificent..
Porsche Macam = for Penasihat Proton to drive
Proton PCC = for macai macai Proton to drive
Kalau I beli macan, kena makan maggi n ais kosong every day.
If I had RM420k to spare, I would buy this in a heartbeat. Forget the Evoque (which costs slightly less at RM400k). This is the car to have, and its bigger inside too. Its a sports car that thinks its an SUV. Not the other way round, which the Evoque is. So offroad, the Evoque may run circles around the Macan. Though I doubt anyone will bring a luxury Porsche offroad.
Same engine with my GTI, I can cucuk this car everytime I see them.
Yamaha motor can cucuk you anytime also, so??
Just imagine, you drive a Porsche and get tapau by a VW, no shiok man.
porsche are using VW engine your idiot..
If I had bought a Porsche, I would drive it slowlyyyyy, real slow I mean, so that I can show off..Why often “smoke this and that”?
Makes us all sound like Malaysian drivers = reckless. :/
It is a typical Proton thing. They have nothing to talk about their own car, thus they can only talk about smoke this, smoke that, smoke chicken wings, smoke christmas turkey. Sigh…
Not that you want to drive slow, it is because your porsche is not fast enough compare to VW gti and also you have no ball to drive fast what a lame gay.
You are the best bro because you let ppl like us that can afford to truly have close look otr. Best Nya compare to watching video or static!
Y not go cucuk a Golf R or Renault R26? Both also 2.0l engine. Oh ya, both cars can make your gti look like their racing with a normal golf. So you ashamed of loosing then you need to cucuk a SUV? So pathetic…..
dear aaron, macan people can afford x2 of your gti. dont just cucuk, tapau everything if you can. park side by side. compare interior to exterior. just the half of the macan can tapau half of your car, if compare fully i think your chicks also he tapau all.
Why your mind only think about Chick, Ham Sup Lou.
Don’t tapau his chick la, tapau his car enough.
i like to step on the brake & let those who like to cucuk crash and die on the spot.. ^_^
bigger inside? beg to differ.. sit in both.. almost the same.. but the black interior of macan makes it tad small feeling
2.0L x main la. Macan S is the one to get.
Bro, you high? Sports car and a 2.0 turbo 4 in a same sentence, you must be high. I’m assuming you are talking about the base Macan, since you are comparing it to the Evoque.
Thanks Mr Hafriz.Great coverage.I know the last sentence you actually wanted to put “Watch out, Range Rover Evoque, the Macan is here to “makan” you up.Hahaha.IMHO the 2.0 is reasonably priced for a Porsche,this size.Evoque or Macan…it’s a hard choice.Evoque is an exceptionally great car with great character.Macan..well it’s classy.’nuff said.
Wow thats cheap … for a Porsche
For now, just admiring..
yeahhhh i wlll definitely take this over the Evoque!
Wow, 2.0L Porsche.
the Poorman’s Porsche come to town.
Bye LandRover BMW Benz.
With that kinda price, it wont be long till our street spawn with Porsche Macan.
cheaper and looks a ton better than the X4.
Yeah but X4 is a BMW, Macan is a VW with a Porsche badge, you are actually driving a high heel VW GTi sure very cheap ma.
Of course, Fiat owns Ferrari. VW owns Porsche, Audi & Lamborghini. Tata owns Jaguar & Land Rover. And Proton owns Lotus. Doesnt mean Ferrari drives like a Fiat. Or Proton drives like a Lotus (though Proton claims this all the time). They still cater to different target markets.
Check out Autocar drifting the Macan on track with amazing ease. The Macan handles like a sports car. It just so happens that it can do some minor offroading too. Try drifting & offroading the VW GTi.
Agreed!
The price difference between the base model and next model is staggering. I believe up to 80% of the sales will be from the base model.
In Malaysia thou could afford would also go for base. Malaysian usually go for badge rather than what is underneath the hood.

Wow, nice price. It is consider reasonable for a Porsche.
Audi Q5 facelift now come with Porsche badge!!!
Less than 30% of the Q5 was used for the Macan.
Puh lease, save ur strength. Dont spread the crap.
LMAO.
VW engine in a Porsche.
What a budget Porsche.
Macam if Lotus put Proton engine and sell RM99k.
and Whoa:: Best Lotus come to to town.
Is this a VW Macan or Audi Macan or Porsche Q5 or a long legged GTi???
Cheaper than expected Porsche Macan and cheaper RON 97 fuel all in one day. We must be thankful to the govt today :D
Cheaper it is but what spec does it have? I seriously hope this isn’t the botak spec but a decent spec model.
Please don’t follow how Audi spec its A3 1.4 model whereby the passenger seat has no electric control, the seats are only half leather and there is no front parking sensors. It really makes the brand feel cheap and this is a Porsche we’re talking about.
The thing is, for the base price of 420k, it’s pretty empty spec.
In fact, after going to Porsche Center Damansara, customising a 2.0T model with some Porsche niceties, i.e. PASM, Sport Chrono, Nav, etc…. The options itself costed nearly 80k, which gave it an on road price or something around the 500k region. For a bit more, you are already touching the more powerful, base Cayenne V6.
Cruise control, more than 6 speakers for the audio system, and paddle shifters is enough already for me. The rest are good to have, but not really something you will need for daily driving. Imagine paying so much for Sport Chrono just to get you to 100km/h in 0.5 secs faster than without it. One could diet, and do the same. Hehe.
But, you actually buy an empty Porsche? You might as well get the Q5 then, after all it is technically the same platform, same engine and with the DSG instead on the Porsche compared to the ZF8HP in the Audi.
It was nice knowing you. Now that X4 is pointless in every sense of the word, can BMW start focusing on X3 and start giving us value and option?
wait for GLA
Gila ,420k buy a VW Macan . X4 at least a pure BMW engine
0-100 km/h in 6.9 seconds toooo slow for a Porsche
As a reminder this is a VW not a Porsche.
*Looks at price*
Not bad…
*Looks at wallet*
Hahaha…
i have a deep pocket……………………………………………..hole…
Wonder why no one questioning the gearbox issue due to it is Porsche?
If it is VW Megan sure kena gao gao in this thread.
The pricing is really cool.
but the thing is, you guys dont really understand how porsche sells their model. You cant never find a similar model when compared to another model.
For the base model, the price is RM420 but why dont you go check with Porsche, you have to personalize it. The personalization will probably cost you an additional RM80k-100k.
The rims as example. It will cost you around RM15-20k. The type of seats bla bla bla…. everythimg “must” be personalized.
To say it will compete with the likes of merc and audi, you got that wrong.
I know, cos I just booked a macan. Hahaha
Yep…you can never get one for 420k. Still, the newly-minted X4 is touching RM460k with M-sport niceties! Both are powered by 4-pot 2.0L turbo. Go figure.
The 420k base model will probably take you to 520k-540k with all accessories. X4 with M is 60k cheaper.
Yeah, it would have been really wonderful if the new Macan 2.0T is 450k OTR with decent standard specs.
I was taken aback when an SA from SDAP Glenmarie quoted circa 500k for a base Macan after “personalisation” (ala Ferrari). I mean…that’s like going into Cayenne 3.6 V6 (base spec, again!) territory!
Btw congrats on your decisive booking Ozone! How much is the final specified Macan of your choice?
I booked the macan S. 560k base price + all accessories it is now Rm680k.
Cant wait
Did you get an X4 or a Macan? There you go. The X4 is pointless from the get go. Regardless of price point. Made even pointless with the Macan.
Google X4 and pointless. You’ll see that it’s synonymous. They should put it on the badge.
Merc GLA is not against Porsche Macan or BMW X3/X4
it is new gen Merc GLK challenging them which will be launched next year
Good luck to the X4 and its crazy price but reviews noted that the X4 does somehow hold its ground against the Macan but overall the Macan wins.
I guess we will be seeing a lot more Macans soon especially then the grey imports start pouring in…heck even I’m interested now
Another one of my dream cars bites the dust!
420k, that is a good buy, why buy bmw x4??
It is because BMW X4 is few level above this VW macan. Sure macan is cheaper.
Silly question but how to pronounce the name of the car?
1. Mer-Can
2. Mah-Can
3. MaKan
4. May-Kern
5. Mah-Chan???
I think is Mer-Can?
Check out videos on YouTube about the review of this car, you can know from there as well.
Porsche claims it is inspired by the Javanese word for tiger.
If that is the case then pronounce it “Mah-Chan” like a true Javanese.
Don’t confuse Javanese with. Bahasa Indonesia because Bahasa Indonesia is actually Bahasa Melayu. Its like Americans who say they speak American when it is actually English.
Back to Macan. The alternative is to pronounce it like the Mat Salleh. It sounds like makan which is a Malay word for eat. More interesting is to look up the English word closest in pronunciation – Merkin.
Look it up and try to use it in normal conversation.
It is strange how people compare Macan vs X4 or Macan vs VW GTI. Macan is still a Porsche and is still a class above if not two! Even a cheaper BMW 328i will beat the Macan hands-down on 0-100kph but heck who drives at that break neck speed. I would still go for the Macan (if I can afford) as it offers better driving experience, exudes luxury, style and confidence.
As part of the cronies system, this car is the default ride for mahchan cronies. Yay. ..finally a car for MAHCHAN!!!!
WHO THE HELL IN THE RIGHT MIND TO BUY A 2.0L VW AT 420K.
Please stop misusing my name. I did not write this. An imposter did.
It is not about 2.0L VW. It is not about raw power from a 2.0L. If you know about cars, it is the overall make of the car. The chassis, the torque vectoring on 4 wheels, the ride & suspension, the built, the quality, the drive, the 18-way seats, the comfort, the controls and many more. If you talk about 2.0L raw power, there are more cars that can tweak faster than a MAcan or a Bimmer. If you are saying a Macan is the same as a GTI, you are just expressing your stupidity and ignorance. I am sure by now, you should feel quite empty at the head!
‘Can do’ u really don’t understand….
as I say earlier , Porsche is for speed .0-100 km/h in 6.9 seconds is too show . it’s a shame even lose to a 328i or 320d if go Genting .shame shame shame
‘ooo’ if you drive a 328i and if I drive a Porsche Macan (of course I cannot one to be honest) to Genting and arriving behind you driving a supposedly 328i, I feel no shame.
You feel no shame, but people will shame for you.
I am sure you are very proud of your lorry.
macan is like buying a ‘Lotus with proton enjine’
True. But stupid and wanker people like me will be denial mode and continue to think it is a porsche.
Hey .. how much you all know about Macan, don’t treat yourself like a pro.. is true Macan Is using AE888 engine but not all the components are same, how about V6 engine… go back and study if you really think your GTI can tapao Macan S and above range.. wait until the cars outon the road… get to know those who have a cars and challengeit to race at Genting Hills.. I beg your BIG balls can squeeze off, and this Macan S ( as your so called VW rebadged) will make sure your race will be unforgetable… have you CUCUK by Porsche… i beg you havent…cos you only drive only VW OOPs
one things…this is suv not hatchback.. bodoh to compare, but i believe you will scream when Macan tail you back…trust me… i know this monster well than any others
I was once commented on a Porsche owned by my girl friend’s brother 30 years ago . I told her this is the cheapest in the Porsche range .She replied “can you afford this ? I keep quiet . After 30 years I am buying a Porsche Macan !
Another 2 years, Porsche will come up with Porsche Minum with 1.6l campro engine and cost rm150k.
If she said that to me, I would break off with her immediately.
Hope she is not your wife today
we are saying macan but not macan s
should be criticising macan but not macan s
Criticizing Macan? You cannot afford one to start with.
I want the diesel macan!
“Macan!you are faster than me But i can go Anywhere” Evoque
I’m interested in porshe macan s 3 litre twin turbo. What range of colours you have, tq
Macan S is to go for with 3.0L twin-turbo V6. I go for Porsche for its performance and technology, not for the badge. Bye bye Macan 2.0L VW engine.
