Sure, it could be considered a "cute 'ute." But the 2017 Macan is still all Porsche, says AutoGuide in a new review. While the Macan will appeal to a broader audience beyond Porsche's dedicated sports car purists and fans of the higher-end Cayman and Panamera, it delivers the driving experience one expects from the boutique German automaker.
The base Macan gets its power from a turbocharged four-cylinder engine. Borrowed from the Audi Q5, the 2.0-liter power plant has been reworked to make 252 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque — 32 more horsepower and 15 more lb-ft of torque than its platform mate. Unlike the boxer four-cylinders developed for the 718 Series, though, the engine doesn’t make that signature sound of the horizontally opposed pistons working away.
