2016 Porsche Macan Turbo

The range-topping Macan with a 3.6L twin-turbo V6 producing 400hp (later 440hp Turbo with Performance Package). Delivers genuine hot hatch-beating acceleration with the practicality of an SUV. The chassis copes admirably with the extra power, though the GTS is often preferred for its better balance. Includes most luxury options as standard.

Turbo V6 requires careful maintenance of boost-related components. Timing chain service essential. Higher power means faster wear on drivetrain components. Performance Package cars work brakes harder. Air suspension standard but failure-prone. Transfer case stress higher at full power.

Performance Package (440hp), Sport Chrono, full leather interior, Burmester audio, panoramic roof, adaptive cruise. Carbon fiber trim adds visual appeal. All typically well specified.
