Unless you’re in a hurry, take time to go through the myriad optional extras Porsche offers on all of its models—including its cheapest.
The 2023 Porsche Macan comes pretty well-equipped in base form, while a staggering array of options, and a big infotainment screen solidify an 8 out of 10 rating on the TCC scale.
Base 4-cylinder Macans come with a 10.9-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, plus 19-inch alloy wheels, leather seats, and a power liftgate. They cost $58,950 to start.
Which Porsche Macan should I buy?
Base 4-cylinder models benefit from a few options, but we think it’s worth stepping up to the 6-cylinder Macan S for about $11,000 more.
To it, we’d add the $3,660 Premium Package Plus with its 14-way power-adjustable and heated front seats, cooled front seats, active lane control, LED headlights, and panoramic sunroof. An air suspension costs $1,390, which seems like a better value than the shockingly pricey $1,200 surround-view camera system.
Numerous additional options can dress just about everything up in leather trim.
How much is a fully loaded Porsche Macan?
The Macan GTS runs $84,000 or so to start, but it’s easy to top six figures.
