2023 Porsche Macan (inc. 0-100 & braking test) review

- I was surprised how cheap the Porsche Macan is. With the rest of its competitors now creeping up in price, the Macan represents surprisingly good value for money. Paul Maric tests out the 2023 Porsche Macan T to see what it's like behind the wheel.

#porsche #macan #review - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
I got a Porsche Macan this month, pretty impressive
Reading all the silly comments below, I'd sum it up in one go, No Porsche owner has ever said, "I'd rather a Volkswagen, BMW or Tesla instead"
not sure why anyone would compare those brands
porshe is 50% luxury 50% fun and is the only reliable europian car
bmw is 80% fun 20% luxury and so unreliable
tesla is 70% raw power 30% technology
vw is 50% boredom 50% ugliness
porshe can be compared with lexus imo
and yes, I am a porshe owner (macan and panamera) and lexus owner (lc500)
because those are the people that saying they rather those cars then a Porsche@@darkwingduck47
2:26 the rock costs 1500 bucks extra. it's a faithful replica of the stone that ferdinand porsche had in his shoe when he met his wife for the first time, a must for every porsche fan
😂😂
That is one of the best comments I have read. You obviously work for Porsche in marketing or sales. Well done.
My husband got a Macan a few weeks ago and I liked it so much that I’m picking up a Macan T today. I can’t wait to drive it off the lot.
ur husband? but ur a guy too
@@handlenameistaken what’s your point?
As an empty-nester I trader my Subaru Outback, which I loved, for a base Macan with a bunch of options. Love it. Drives beautifully and has enough zip to be really enjoyable. Maybe it a midlife crisis but this is the perfect car for me.
big step up even if Base
First timer here and this was a great review. My current lease on 2020 Q3 is up in July and have been eyeing this model, and think I’ll pull the trigger. Fantastic color too!
I love my Macan. It’s a great all rounder and you alway feel special driving it.
Apple CarPlay only takes up the drivers 2/3 of the screen. Lot of journalists complain, but day to day it works perfectly. The 1/3 on the passenger side can be configured with a group of other functions, or you can have Porsche Nav (while listening to Spotify) or have the radio while using Waze without jumping between screens… the infotainment can be configured and once you have your settings done, it is easy to get used too!
Well that's just not good enough.
And it all work flawless!
6:50 try pressing the icon on the bottom right of the display next to the volume icon. I belive that should change the size of the app. The secondary section is normally used for an addition app you would be running, like music + navigation. Music on the left, Maps on the larger right section.
Never put a bottle in drivers door pocket. Cases of bottle popping out and jamming under break pedal. Just a heads up. :)
That’s an excellent tip
Good point. Even better username. Cougar Samurai. Cool
@@shanea9613 Thanks.
Love ur channel paul, highly recommend reviewing the Mercedes gls63s 2022 as it’s getting more popular on Aussie roads, keep up with the post❤
Nice review. I've now made up my mind am buying this porche model Next week ASAP!!! 💯
How are you liking it?
I took delivery of my Macan T about 3 months ago. I absolutely love it so far. Glad I didn't go with the S. You get more use of the handling goodies it comes with over the few extra horsepower.
Lol u just can’t afford the S
@@user-fn2zq6yd4t No, I got this because I can’t afford a 911 😂. Trust me, don’t waste your money on an S. Macans are not fast no matter what trim you get. Way better value on the T. Better interior, handling and looks. Use the extra couple of grand and get some nice upgrades. The T or the GTS are the models to get. Check out the review the smoking tire did on the T.
@@user-fn2zq6yd4t What do you drive?
@@BlkGibson I got a T 4 month b4. Yes, it looks better than S… EA888 Ev4 is good enough
@@user-fn2zq6yd4t This car has option of 30K, already more expensive than basic S Model.
Thank you for a great review Paul! Just ordered one, should be here soon :)
Thank you for the helpful video loved it ! Im getting mine in a few months
Ordered my Macan T last month, can't wait!!!
Enjoy!!
Another wicked review, thank you 🙏
Awesome review as always Paul!
Can you please do a detailed review on the BMW X1 XDrive20i M Sport?
Will get our hands on an X1 soon!
@@CarExpertAus best news!
Watching the video now! Hello from Spain 🇪🇸
Thanks for the braking test. I think strong braking ability is as important as acceleration.
Great review ,, is this Macan papaya color?
that bsm position is best i think. because it is in your line of sight even without having to look at the mirrors. other cars have them on the outer edge
I'm about to order a macan s for my wife. Great review, the s motor really cracks in sport. I think it's a good happy medium.
Would love to see if you're able to get your hands on the Acura Integra
Thanks for the braking test. I think strong braking ability is as important as acceleration.✨️❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Paul is best Car expert I watch all his videos
Thanks mate.
Does it have a Performance trim?
There’s an aftermarket tune/coding for the full screen CarPlay
The hidden 12V outlet is a powered one for using the Porsche battery tender that you can buy for $350 bucks or so...which is a rebranded CTEK that you can get for nearly half that.
Basically all Porsches have one stowed away somewhere that isn't visible normally.
Review the OB XT!!
A car with option Sports exhaust sometimes rev the engine when is the stationary so we can hear how it sounds like
Cant wait to get my car delivered on April ❤🔥
Hi mate
Where is the new Type R ?
While doing that reverse test should've jolted the wheel to see if you can straighten it up as quick as possible :-)
😂
$90,000 is a steal these days, considering that the Korean thingys are $90,000 now. Ford Raptor $100k WTF?????
No mention about all the piano black like you usually do when reviewing other vehicles.
If you're referring to the lower centre console then that's all touch sensitive buttons - can't really be helped
@@jameshinchy7758 look at the buttons on the new X1, you can help it.
@@THEAC83 there’s still piano black, just less of it because the X1 has far fewer touch sensitive controls. Macan has a lot of buttons down there hence more glass realestate. Paul’s issue is piano black trims for the sake of it, not glass panels
@@THEAC83 but it’s an X1
@@mrmojorisingful yes, it’s an X1. I did say X1 didn’t I?
What app were you using in the performance tests?
We use this one: www.carexpert.com.au/car-news/this-cheap-gps-device-lets-you-performance-test-your-car-like-a-pro
Paul: So, what have we got to test drive today?
Admin staff: There's a nice new mid-spec Toyota Yaris.
Paul: Sorry, what's that?
Admin: Toyota Yaris.
Paul: Huh?
Admin: TOYOTA YARIS.
Paul: What?
Admin: *sighs* Porsche Macan.
Paul: Oh, ok then. If I must.
Thanks for another great review Paul. It's a great car but at ~$122k as tested, it's hardly cheap... Could you share with us the name of the app you use for the 0-100 and braking tests?
Its called Dragy
@@coolsahib1 thanks for that!
You could buy a nice BMW X5 for that price. As on our roads, comfort is far more important than 0 to 100 times
@@buncha5651 😂😂 junk you mean ?
Apps aren't very accurate for timing. Just saying....
This has a gti engine mounted north south yeah ?
All Porches just look great and they always have the power and handling to back up the look. The only SUV I am willing to consider buying.
If you can afford it, otherwise you can always buy a BMW like everybody else
Great review Paul! Have been waiting for this.
No Android auto. You need coding to make car play full screen and enable android auto in the pcm. ~aud500
Beautiful colour beautiful SUV.
Does it come with faulty engine codes straight from the factory?
I think you need to include an actual city drive, in traffic in the reviews. No one would buy a car because it's good on a proving ground at 180kph. In reality, this will be a commuter to drive to work in the same as most other cars
I still have the original Macan Turbo, which I optioned up like a mofo at the time. I’ve been put putting around in it for 8 years now…. Time to unleash the beast that it is!
You can buy a Porsche without adding thousands in options but you are going to be missing out on a lot of basic features.
Glad you're doing 0-100 tests in normal modes as that's what most people would be using in real life and not launch control. Is it the same dsg as the golf?
I don't think it is. It's Porsche's own PDK gearbox that used to be seen in the 911 and is still in the boxster/cayman
@@eshanmirash2456 means more expensive if you have trouble with it 🤓
@@cen121 Precisely haha. There's a good chance that they use some of the same parts too but unfortunately they too would be 3x more expensive lol
The DSG 6 speed in the Golf is a HUGE box. You'd never break the internals, even with the engine tuned to 450nm (proven in many Nurburgring 24 hour races). Clutches are not considered internals, so they would be upgraded over the standard ones, very easy to do. The box in the Porsche is 7 speed and bigger again, and in north/south orientation.
Yes, it is the same running gear up front as the GTI Golf
What about a Selvio VS Mecan
Yes I'm getting into a Porsche .... 🤪
Still no heads-up display?
Also a battery for the Macan is $10k. Ring Porsche service before you buy and simply ask how much a new battery is. It’s $10k in australia. My mate had a car just out of warranty and paid $10k
Where is the Corolla GR review?
Those DSG aren't fantastic to live with - at least in a tigwan.
Try coles carpark, edging out from parking bays on inclinations, doing 3 point turns etc.
They bunnyhop, engage/disengage in certain situations too.
Not as refined as a torque converter and false claims on fuel benifits
Significant difference with the Porsche PDK. Its much better…
The GTS is phenomenal
I think it looks dated, but good. But that's the same as what I'd say for the 911 as well.
One other suggestion Paul, one thing I find frustrating (especially for country drives) are cars that don't have a spare or have that horrible tyre good. Maybe a rating system for cars you review along the lines of:
A+ - full sized spare with an alloy wheel
A - full sized spare with a steel wheel
B - spare tyre, not full sized (eg. 15" instead of a 17" on all four wheels)
C - Space Saver Spare
D - Run flat tyres
F - No spare tyre / tyre goo
We are about to order the Macan S plus 12k extras, not big fan for the EV anyway. The things we like is Macan S is using same engine from previous GTS, twin turbo V6, with 380 hp, the Sport Chrono Package will give Macan S the launch control as well.
The horn sounds like a hatch back
Need the gts
I’m definitely not an SUV person either, however there isn’t a great deal of options as far as wagons go these days 😢
Faux key…the CJ lancer and Outlander had that back in 08!
This is a SUV, that doesnt drive like a SUV. Try one and you will see.
And Porsche had it before then.
No android auto? That's a bit silly not to have both
Indeed ,even my 2022 skoda fabia has it standard..
I didn't need an SUV when I had my first kid nor after my second... guess it depends on what your 'needs' are Paul.
It's not about needs, it's about wants!
Yeah, it still looks great. Will stand the test of time I would assume like with most Porsche's.
I attempted to buy a 4 cyl Macan but I got so frustrated how Porsche nickel and dime you for everything...so I got myself a BMW instead.
I've never actually heard anybody buying a Porsche say they bought a BMW instead...
AS much as I love the Macan, when BMW are doing the x3 for low 90K, its a no brainer to buy the BMW. Especially if your buying private. $20 - 30k saving aint nothing to sneeze at
I saw u on 7news
Nice & great
Same car, same height. No problems backseat. Depends on how you sit in front.
If you need longer and bigger (heavier/less sporty), you got the Cayenne, but thats a way different car.
ordered it 2 weeks ago now wait for 12 months 😆
The Macan T is actually a Bargain, the discounted options means you can build a very compelling car with air ride and some tasty options for $120k. $5k down and a 12mth wait. Really a value standout in a see of GLC and X4 and Q5 dullness. Also don't forget you can own this car under Porsche warranty for 15 consecutive years! Winner!
Todays comment proudly bought to you by Porsche.
$120k for a near 10 yr design aint great value. Great car though. Its 4$k for each 4 yr warranty extension but you need to take into account the crap 3 yr warramty offered and the fact it needs to be serviced at Porsche at highly inflated prices. Great car though
Just an observation - the last straight stretch of road where Paul literally goes for it - Tiguan R managed to touch 190, Macan T 180 and surprisingly, Cerato GT touched 180 as well.
Personally, I would take the Tiguan R over the Macan T.
Gas consumption between 4 and 6 cylinder are pretty close
Would have liked an offroad test on the macan
Nice
Fancy and desirable af but the VAG obsession of charging more for safety is harsh and does need to be punished by the consumer to force the change. Our stupid ADR’s got rid of a bunch of awesome cars and the excellent CT postie bike but allows this sort of safety exclusion.
Ps the seatbelt colour is meant to give the impression of dual buckets in the rear.
You're fcuking kidding me 100K for an SUV that comes with an additional 30K of safety options that are all standard on 60K SUVs. Porche are clearly used to stroking themselves over their product pricing?
That's good
The lack of safety is not bizarre, it's disgacefull and nothing but corporate greed and treating Australia with contempt
Or buy a Tiguan R and save $15,000 gain 40 kw and adaptive cruise standard. Just buy the V6 turbo
Super
Great review! No android auto no sale. Especially nowadays when Chinese rubbish even has it. The most sold phone type on earth and they delete it yet it's a VW and other VW's have it 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
I looked at purchasing a Macau but lack of safety that is an option at this price point is unacceptable. Service costs were also outrageous
Is this papaya color?
Can you review a lambo
No aeb no sale!
is that Seth MacFarlane??
I am probably going to be shot down but I was looking at a Macan 4cyl or 6 cyl and setting aside the supply issue why would would anyone prefer this over say a BMW 340i?
I understand that the Macan is a SUV but for what you pay for a 4 cyl Macan you can get a 6cyl BMW that is lighter, handles better, is faster (if that is important to you) and has everything you need without having to option the car up with $30k of extras.
Ah, the BMW doesn't handle or ride better... Resale also more solid with a Macan. Go drive one then you'll know - and there is no need to spend $30k on options.
@@mheeler I have driven a base Macan. It rides on stilts and is top heavy. It doesn’t ride better and it lack’s features that are standard in the M340i and it has a golf engine. I don’t get why anyone would prefer the Macan over a smooth 6 cyl BMW.
I'd rather pay more for a slower Porsche then Less for a faster BMW.
Because every Tom Dick and Harry has a BMW and if that's a Golf engine then the Lamborghini URUS has an Audi engine for that matter@@KK-qi6mt
@@ricklee3 it’s Porsche with Golf engine and handles like a bus.
I'm surprised how cheap "cheap" is being thrown around 'here!
Macan in indonesia language means Tiger 🙂🙂😁😁😁
Yes , i knew that.
GRRRRRRRRRR.
I thought it meant eating ?
That reverse speed test is ridiculous.
…ly useful and interesting.
Too bad the new version of the Macan will suck. EV charging infrastreucture is NOWHERE near ready here in australia. Basically will be stranded to city driving, at least here in North Queensland.
Porsche try to give fearsome name , but instead of Porsche tiger most people call it Porsche Eat.
Usually your reviews are bang on. I think you need to do a little more research if you’re putting out high quality reviews. Like the option to choose custom colours is called “PTS, Porsche to sample”. Just little things like this make you look more professional and more informative to the viewers
Uh, it's paint to sample, not Porsche to sample
😁"little things like this make you look more professional"
Despite acres of piano black internally not a peep? Interior reminded me of a 1980s Kia, design and finish. Spoils an otherwise nifty SUV.
So if you're an Android phone person, bad luck, Porsche is not going to support you...strange; sold performance numbers though, that DCT and 2l turbo combo seem to work well, finally Paul is happy with a dual clutch connected to a 4cyl
Why do you 'have' to have an SUV if you have a kid?
From your review of the rear seat and luggage space you can see it is inferior to that of a Volkswagen Golf.
So what’s so great about am SUV??
Ah, I see, it only has wireless Apple Carplay, not Android for the masses. That explains why it's a Macahn and not a Macan. ;-)
I like my JK jeep wrangler unlimited Sport.
It's not German
And you are admitting to driving an American shit box lol🤣classic!!
I'm German born, Aussie now. I don't like your racist shit, time to grow up fellah.
Cheap and 90 k dont go together !!
Servicing would be pricey!
90k for a small SUV,,,,man the world has gone mad😂😂
First comment from SOUTH AFRICA 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Did you stop at the red light at night?
Really wish it had android auto. Do any Porsche have android auto?
Macan is running PCM 5, you can enable android auto by updating software
Ther are a lot of omissions especially given its so called upper class status. Seems VW Porsche Audi are just taking rusted on porsche buyers for a ride.
