Porsche Macan Turbo

Black · Red interior

The Macan is the SUV Porsche made drive like it resented being an SUV: quick steering, a low seating position for the class, and a twin-turbo V6 in Turbo specification. Black outside, red inside, which is the part people notice when the door opens. Practical enough for a week, entertaining enough for a canyon detour.

What makes it special

  • Turbo specification per our records: twin-turbo V6 and all-wheel drive
  • PDK dual-clutch gearbox, shared in principle with Porsche sports cars
  • Red leather cabin against black paint — the least anonymous small SUV here

Worth knowing

The Macan name comes from an Indonesian word for tiger, and Porsche developed the car to drive more like a 911 than a family crossover.

Your Arizona experience

Groceries, golf and a canyon road in the same afternoon — it is the vehicle to keep for a whole Scottsdale weekend rather than one evening.
