Porsche is renowned for its sports car lineup such as the 911 and 718, but the German automaker also caters to families with options like the Macan.
The Macan is one of the two SUV models offered by Porsche. So, what sets this model apart?
Starting from 3.35 billion VND
The Porsche Macan is available in Vietnam with four 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 variation in prices is primarily due to differences in engine performance.
In terms of dimensions, all variants have the same wheelbase of 2,807 mm, but each variant differs slightly in width and height. The GTS variant comes with a 75-liter fuel tank, while the other three variants are equipped with a standard 65-liter fuel tank.
The standard Macan is powered by a 2.0L, 4-cylinder engine. This engine generates 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. It has a top speed of 232 km/h. This is the entry-level engine performance among the Macan variants.
Porsche offers the optional Sport Chrono package for the standard variant to enhance the vehicle’s performance. With the Sport Chrono package, the acceleration time from 0 to 100 km/h is reduced from 6.4 seconds to 6.2 seconds, while the time from 0 to 160 km/h is reduced from 16.3 seconds to 16.1 seconds.
Most powerful engine with over 400 horsepower
If you’re looking for a high-performance Macan, the GTS variant is a worthwhile consideration. It is also the most expensive variant of the Porsche Macan, starting at 5.3 billion VND.
The Macan GTS is equipped with a twin-turbocharged 2.9L V6 engine, similar to the Macan S but with higher performance 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 boasts the highest top speed, reaching 272 km/h. It takes 4.5 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 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 achieves nearly 2 seconds faster acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h.
The 2.9L engine on the Macan S delivers a power output of 276 horsepower and 520 Nm of torque. It has a top speed of 259 km/h. The acceleration time from 0 to 100 km/h 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 the same, thanks to the range of customization options provided by the brand. Premium car brands always offer 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, the Macan also offers options that can cost the owner hundreds of million VND.
The Paint to Sample option is one of the most expensive options for the Macan. For an additional cost of almost 670 million VND, customers can choose any color they desire that is not available in Porsche’s standard color range. 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 offers performance-related options such as a sports exhaust system (166 million VND), PASM air suspension system (101.9 million VND), enhanced traction control PTV Plus (102.8 million VND), etc.
