2017 Porsche Macan Gallery

The 2017 Porsche Macan is the newest, and most affordable member of the Porsche SUV family. Outfitted with a turbocharged four-cylinder engine instead of a V6 like the other Macans in the showroom, the base Macan represents the entry point into the brand.

The Macan's 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder is rated at 252 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque. A seven-speed automatic manual transmission is standard, as is all-wheel drive. In terms of handling, suspension, and chassis, the Macan matches the quicker Macan S in every area except braking due to its somewhat smaller binders. Options availability is similar to that for pricier versions of the Macan (the base model starts at under $50,000).

Competitors for the Porsche SUV include the Audi Q5, the BMW X3, and the Jaguar F-Pace.
