​
The Porsche Macan is a compact crossover that combines sporty handling with enough space for your things. Whether you choose the gas-powered Macan, which has been around since 2015, or the newly released all-electric model, you can look forward to a top-performing vehicle. In addition to potent power trains, you can enjoy an upscale interior with cutting-edge tech and comfortable seating. Our Macan experts at Porsche Livermore took a closer look at the key features on offer inside the cabin.
Interior Design
The Macan's cabin has a sophisticated but sporty feel. It starts with the gloss black center console and continues with the comfortable and supportive front seats. The Macan features premium materials, including leather upholstery, sleek surfaces, and a large touchscreen. The base Macan trim features partial cloth and leather upholstery, as well as power-adjustable and heated front seats. As you move up the trim levels, you can add full leather upholstery, sports seats for extra support when you're driving fast, and a heated steering wheel.
The sloping roof creates a stylish and modern feel in the cabin. While front-seat passengers can stretch out in style, the rear row has more than enough space to accommodate kids in comfort. The LATCH connectors on the outermost rear-row seats make it straightforward to install a rear-facing child seat if necessary. There's also an ample cargo area behind the second row. Overall, the cabin offers great insulation from road noise. You can even add insulated front windows for added comfort.
You can fit just over 17 cubic feet of cargo behind the second row, which should be enough for a large load of groceries or a few travel bags for a weekend ride out of town. If you plan on transporting bulkier items, you can fold down the second row of seats to open up about 52 cubic feet of space. This setup is ideal for carrying small household items like tables or chairs.
Advanced Infotainment System
Porsche's cutting-edge infotainment tech is accessible through a 10.9-inch touchscreen. In addition, base Macan models are also equipped with a 10-speaker stereo. If you desire more performance for your favorite music or podcasts, you can upgrade to a Bose premium stereo. If this doesn't quite satisfy you, consider opting for the 16-speaker premium sound system that's available in the top trim for the very best in sound quality.
To control your infotainment system on the road, you can use Porsche's voice recognition feature to perform basic tasks. In this way, you don't need to take your eyes off the road when you choose your favorite artist or podcast.
Another valuable part of the infotainment system is the built-in navigation system. Unsure of where your next journey will take you? The navigation system can direct you to your chosen address and alert you to traffic issues.
Several physical controls are included to make it easier to adjust basic settings, like volume and climate control. The instrument cluster is an analog unit.
Comfort and Convenience Features
All Macans boast a tri-zone climate control, allowing passengers to set their preferred cabin temperature for a comfortable ride. You can also upgrade various cabin features for extra comfort. For instance, the higher S trim boasts leather seats with synthetic suede inserts. Adaptive sports seats with up to 18 power adjustments are also on offer in the high-performance GTS trim. They can make all the difference when the twin-turbocharged engine is pumping out well over 400 horsepower under the hood.
The power liftgate makes it convenient when you're loading items into your cargo area. At the touch of a button, you can open the liftgate and get your groceries, travel luggage, or daily cargo safely stowed away. The Macan's cargo area is relatively compact by SUV standards, which is practical for drivers who prioritize a vehicle with excellent handling and performance on busy city roads and highways alike.
For an added touch of upscale luxury, you can opt to include a panoramic sunroof. This allows you to enjoy some great views and lets additional natural light into your cabin.
Connectivity and Integration
Smartphone connectivity is easy to organize thanks to standard Apple CarPlay. The infotainment touchscreen has clear graphics, helping you to easily navigate your phone's features from the Macan's display. The connectivity suite of features includes a Wi-Fi hot spot so you can stay in touch with friends and work colleagues on the go. Other alternatives for connecting your devices include Bluetooth and four USB-C ports. The optional wireless device charging pad is a great way to keep your phone fully charged during your drive.
Driver Assistance and Safety Technology
The Macan offers drivers a long list of useful safety features to help you cope more easily behind the wheel. Standard features include forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, and pedestrian detection to help you avoid accidents. When you get up to highway speeds, you can rely on lane departure warning and lane keep assist to stay on the right track. The stop-and-go adaptive cruise control manages your speed in various driving settings, including heavy traffic, so that you don't get too close to other motorists.
To get help parking, you can rely on the parking sensors or surround-view camera, which displays an aerial view of your Macan on your display so you can spot any hazards. The rain-sensing windshield wipers make sure you have good visibility whatever the weather may be outside. These safety features combine to make your time behind the wheel more enjoyable and keep your passengers protected from risks on your next journey.
