There was a time when every vehicle to wear a Porsche badge was a sports car. Today, while some of our very favorite sons of Stuttgart still fit that description, the German maker sells many more SUVs than it does coupes. That’s a fact that the purists still bemoan, but probably because they haven’t actually driven something like this Macan S, which is a driver’s car no matter how high it is off the ground.
With a turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 developing 340 horsepower and 339 pound-feet of torque, the Macan S has power enough to make it entertaining in a straight line. But, as we find out in this week’s edition of Why Buy? the real fun starts where the road gets twisty - a typical Porsche trait but not one you might expect from a vehicle in this class.
Watch the video above to see how Porsche’s utile vehicle stacks up against the likes of the Jaguar F-Type and Audi SQ5, along with the typical reporting on fit, finish, space, and the like.
SPECIFICATIONS:
Engine: Biturbocharged 3.0-Liter V6
Output: 340 Horsepower / 339 Pound-Feet

Love how you showed actual luggage in the trunk space! Thank you!
I love when the narrator asks "How does it drive?" and y'all show the little clip of the car driving out of the garage, down the elevator and onto the street. Cool stuff.
Enjoyed this video and it is relevant to my interests as a potential Macan shopper sometime next year. Thanks for the review!
2:33 :There's a 4.8 inch touch screen display". I don't think so, Maybe 8.4 inch.
digging the soundtrack
That’s crazy you did this review in my neighborhood lol
Bought a used 2016 Macan S a few months ago. Always wanted a Porsche and not bad performance but wish I could have afforded the turbo with the 400hp engine. I have the basic steel springs suspension and gets a little bumpy on bad roads, otherwise pretty decent ride. The one thing that is disappointing with Porsche is how they nickel and dime their customers for options that should be standard such as lighted vanity mirrors, I believe that is a $600 plus option. The panoramic sunroof is nice but rattles from the liner or something else and Porsche wants $250 just to look at the car which is ridiculous, so I will try to DIY myself or find an independent mechanic for certain repairs.
I’m 6’3 how tall are you
I’ve owned one for almost 3 years. Great all round premium sport suv. Just wish it was a little bit louder. Only issue was a squeaky steering wheel. Love everything about it. 90% sure it will be replaced by a GLC 63AMG. Looks as good but the soundtrack is on another level.
hope u got that squeaky wheel repaired under warranty. i read someone did
Did you have the Porsche sports exhaust?
‘Coups’ are when you keep chickens.
Except it's spelled "coop"
What kind of ghost town ghetto was this filmed in?
I see a Florida manufacturer tag on this car, where in Florida does it have a facility?
lost baldwin brother?

Seyth wasn't very objective, i'm 6'5 too and this thing is small. plus, I've heard much more objective review of this macan and i ve heard him be more objective in other cars.
Terrible review. Doesn't really tell you what a great car this is. I know, I'm lucky enough to drive one!
I have no idea how big you are?
