Porsche is well known for its sports car models like the 911 and 718, but the German automaker also offers options for families, one of which is the Macan.
The Macan is one of the two SUV models offered by Porsche. So what makes this model special?
Starting from 3.35 billion VND
Porsche Macan is sold in Vietnam with 4 variants: standard, T, S, and GTS. The base model starts at 3.35 billion VND, while the Macan GTS starts from 5.3 billion VND. The price difference mostly comes from the differences in engine performance.
In terms of dimensions, all variants have the same wheelbase of 2,807 mm, but there are slight differences in width and height for each variant. The GTS variant has a 75-liter fuel tank, while the other 3 variants are equipped with a standard 65-liter fuel tank.

The standard Macan is equipped with a 2.0L, 4-cylinder engine. This engine produces a power output of 261.3 horsepower at a range of 5,000-6,500 RPM and a maximum torque of 400 Nm at a range of 1,800-4,500 RPM. The top speed is 232 km/h. This is the lowest engine performance among the Macan variants.
On the standard variant, Porsche also offers the optional Sport Chrono package to improve the vehicle’s performance. With the Sport Chrono package, the 0-100 km/h acceleration time is reduced from 6.4 seconds to 6.2 seconds, while the 0-160 km/h time is reduced from 16.3 seconds to 16.1 seconds.
Most powerful engine with over 400 horsepower
If you are looking for a high-performance Macan, the GTS variant is a worthy consideration. It is also the most expensive variant of the Porsche Macan, with a starting price of 5.3 billion VND.
The Macan GTS is powered by a twin-turbocharged 2.9L V6 engine, similar to the Macan S, but with higher performance thanks to tuning. This engine on the GTS variant produces 434 horsepower at a range of 5,700-6,600 RPM and a maximum torque of 550 Nm at a range of 1,900-5,600 RPM.

The Macan GTS also has the highest top speed, reaching 272 km/h. It takes 4.5 seconds to accelerate from 0-100 km/h, and this time is reduced to 4.3 seconds when equipped with the Sport Chrono package. Compared to the standard variant, the Macan GTS has a faster acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h by nearly 2 seconds.
The 2.9L engine on the Macan S is limited to a power output of 276 horsepower and 520 Nm. The top speed is 259 km/h. The 0-100 km/h acceleration time is 4.8 seconds, which is reduced to 4.6 seconds with the Sport Chrono package.
Options costing hundreds of millions of VND
No two Porsches in the world are alike, thanks to the range of customization options offered by the brand. Premium car brands always provide a variety of upgrade options, and Porsche is no exception.
In addition to the upgrades that cost a few million to tens of million VND, there are also options on the Macan that can cost the owner hundreds of million VND.

The Paint to Sample option is one of the most expensive options on the Macan. Paying an additional almost 670 million VND allows customers to choose any color they desire that is not available in Porsche’s standard color range. The interior leather color options also come at a higher cost, ranging from over 15 million VND to 360.1 million VND.
Porsche offers two upgraded sound systems for the Macan from the brands Bose and Burmester. To experience the Burmester sound system, customers need to pay an additional 328 million VND.
In addition to these mentioned options, the Macan also has performance-related options such as sports exhaust system (166 million VND), PASM air suspension system (101.9 million VND), enhanced traction control PTV Plus (102.8 million VND), etc.
