Porsche Macan facelift launched in Malaysia as base 2.0 litre model – 252 PS, 370 Nm; prices from RM455k

Porsche importer and distributor in Malaysia, Sime Darby Auto Performance (SDAP) has launched the facelifted Porsche Macan SUV in sole, base model guise, priced from RM455,000 which includes all applicable duties but excluding registration, insurance and road tax; bookings for the Macan facelift have been open from last week.

The base Porsche Macan here represents the most accessible entry point into the marque’s model range; the entry-level sports car from the firm is the base, 2.0 litre-engined Porsche Cayman which starts from RM530,000. This will be the sole facelifted Macan variant available for our market for the time being; a 3.0 litre turbo V6 petrol-powered Macan S is also available overseas. (Update: the Macan S has also joined the Malaysian line-up.)

The fundamentals of the facelifted Macan remain as before, namely the MLB longitudinal layout platform, here powered by a 2.0 litre turbocharged inline-four petrol with 252 PS and 370 Nm of torque, channeled to all four wheels via a seven-speed PDK dual-clutch automatic transmission. This powertrain propels the Macan from 0-100 km/h in 6.7 seconds, and on to a top speed of 225 km/h. Combined fuel consumption is rated at 8.1 l/100 km, with combined CO2 emissions rated at 185 g/km.

Visual updates for the facelift include new lighting units; these include a new design for the headlamps’ LED clusters, while the rear end gets updated with a three-dimensional light panel to bring the junior SUV in line with its recent stablemates, and the rear lamps also use the four-point LED design used by the headlamps, for which Porsche Dynamic Lighting System Plus (PDLS Plus) is an option. New bumpers front and rear aid in emphasising the SUV’s width.

The interior has also been treated to selected redesigns, in particular the centre console which now houses the new Porsche Communication Management (PCM) that is home to a wider 10.9-inch touchscreen display, over the previous 7.2-inch item. The new infotainment layout’s width also relocates the air-conditioning vents beneath it in a horizontal orientation, over the vertical bookending form previously.

The facelifted Macan comes to the Malaysian market with the Premium Package as standard, which includes 14-way power-adjustable front seats with memory function, Power Steering Plus Park Assist, self-dimming mirrors, a Bose sound system as well as ambient lighting.

Optionally available is the Sport Chrono package that includes the GT sports steering wheel, while rolling stock comprises a choice of wheels ranging from 18 inches to 21 inches in diameter. Further options such as exterior paint and interior trim colour choices can be selected from your preferred Porsche dealer.

The base price includes a four-year, 200,000 km warranty and free maintenance including parts and labour. With SDAP’s 360 Financing, a monthly commitment starting from RM5,700 is available for the latest Porsche Macan.

We’ve also sampled the latest Macan in Mallorca, Spain, with some time spent in both the base model and the Macan S; read our drive impressions, here.

    Porsche Malaysia is very greedy. Macan prices going higher and higher.

    Just like the Cayenne prices. 2018 Cayenne is RM900k. Previous Generation Cayenne 2011 was RM530k

    But in overseas, the 2011 Cayenne and the 2018 Cayenne was US59,000 and US61,000 respectively

    Pity Malaysians. Porsche prices seem to be jumping so high

      Are you giving me your fake news again? Just look at current price for Porsche Cayenne 2018, which costs RM780K but not RM900K. Porsche Malaysia are not so greedy at all. Unlike for Hyundai Malaysia and Toyota Malaysia, both are so greedy for giving dumping outdated engines and lousy features and giving basic safety features (Except for Toyota Malaysia) to the consumers. This will make their lives more risk to the consumer when driving Hyundai but not Toyota. Do you know that? At least German Auto and EU Auto in Malaysia giving better safety features and better features and specs to the consumers. Get your proper facts which I told you already.

      If you surf US websites, you shall read them fully:

      ‘Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price. Excludes options; taxes; title; registration; delivery; processing and handling fee; dealer charges. Dealer sets actual selling price’.

      I agree with you, that in the US cars are still cheaper than in Malaysia. But then you also have to take into account, that buyers there spend the money saved for family health insurance. So in the end it’s a zero-sum game.

    Many Proton fanboys are telling why buy Macan when you can buy Proton X70???

    I got a big shock…..if everyone thought this way, Porsche, Ferrari, BMW and Mercedes would have gone bankrupt long ago.

    Luckily only jaguh kampung think this way….

    Many fanboys say their Proton X70 uses AMG technology from Mercedes as Geely owns some small percentage of shares in Daimler Mercedes AG Germany.

    They say Proton X70 is BETTER than Porsche Macan
