Next on our video walk-around series is the most affordable – though not exactly cheap – Porsche around, the new Macan 2.0. This compact SUV opens up the Porsche brand to a much bigger audience – it being fairly attainable to some, while staying practical enough for everyday/family use.
Just how practical is it, though? Let Gregory Sze walk you through the base Macan’s interior and exterior, pointing out the good and the bad. Your opinion may vary, but up close and personal, it’s hard not to agree that this Audi Q5-based and VW-engined Porsche SUV is more than the sum of its parts.
At RM420,000, the 237 hp/350 Nm Porsche Macan 2.0 tees up against the equally new 245 hp/350 Nm BMW X4 xDrive28i at RM438,800 and the evergreen 237 hp/340 Nm Range Rover Evoque Coupe, which goes for RM419,888. But you’d be mistaken to think that that’s all you’d be paying for a Macan, as you’ll learn in the video above.
