The 2022 Porsche Macan is more powerful, sharper, and sportier than its predecessor.If there is one automaker that deserves to be called the most iconic of all time, it is Porsche. The iconic German company has been around since 1931 and has given us some absolutely insane machines, the most recognisable of which has to be the Porsche 911, a car that sometimes divides opinion but has become a staple of the Porsche lineup.
Of course, Porsche produces a variety of other vehicles, including the Cayenne and the new electric Taycan. The Macan, on the other hand, is a current and popular member of the Porsche lineup.
The Macan is a five-door lavish crossover SUV manufactured by Porsche, similar to the Cayenne SUV. It isn't as large as the Cayenne and is a younger car than its older sibling, while also sharing a platform with the Audi Q5, another member of the VW Group that owns both brands.
Porsche has released a new version of the Macan for 2022, claiming that it is stronger, sharper, and sportier than the previous model. So there you have it: everything you need to know about the new Porsche Macan for 2022.
The 2022 Macan
While there was nothing wrong with the previous generation of the Macan, this latest addition to the lineup is a much-needed upgrade over the previous generation. It isn't a major revolution, but rather a subtle and refreshing evolution that has preserved the attractive lines of one of the German brand's most popular models.
When connectivity and technology are so important in modern cars, the lack of Android Auto is a bit of a letdown. The 2022 Macan will be available for order in early 2022 outside of Europe and in October 2021 in Europe, and it is now available to order.
The GTS's Engine Has Been Revised
The turbocharged Macan is no longer available, and the new 2022 GTS is the top of the line. The engine in the Macan has undergone further development and enhancements, as with most Porsche car refreshes, to bring it more in line with the latest cars.
The new Macan GTS is powered by a newly developed 2.9-litre Biturbo V6 engine that produces 431 hp and has a 0-60 time of around 4.1 seconds, according to Porsche. The engine is mated to a seven-speed Porsche dual-clutch transmission and an all-wheel-drive system with Porsche Traction Management. These systems are standard on all Macans in the lineup.
The appearance of the Porsche Macan in 2022
There is no denying that the Macan has been one of the best-looking Porsches in the company's modern lineup, and the 2022 Macan, in all of its forms, is no exception. While the changes to the 2022 Macan are subtle, they are sufficient to improve the car's overall appearance.
There are new body-color elements at the front of the car and new LED headlamps, as well as a larger rear diffuser and much nicer-looking Sport Design mirrors that are now standard on all SUV models. For those who prefer larger wheel sizes, there are seven new wheel designs to choose from, ranging in size from 19 to 21 inches.
There are a plethora of colour options for the new car as well. You can get your Macan in a total of 14 different colours, including new ones like Papaya Metallic and Gentian Blue Metallic.There is an exclusive Python Green for the GTS with the GTS Sport package, and Porsche has vastly expanded the customizable options for customers through its Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur programme, so you have plenty of options when purchasing the 2022 Macan.
The Interior of the Macan Is Stunning
There's even more magic inside the Macan, thanks to an all-new centre console with touch surfaces. However, many people may be disappointed because the tactile buttons have been removed, even though the lack of them does clean up the overall console display.The control module in the centre of the car is well-organized, with a variety of contrasting seam packages and leather upholstery options.
The 10.9-inch touch-screen in the centre can also be controlled via voice commands, and the steering wheel is now the same as found on Porsche 911 GT Sport models. In addition to the touchscreen, the GTS Sport Package for the GTS Macan includes exclusive interior features such as 18-way sports seats and a very attractive carbon interior package.
The Race-Tex upholstery and GTS lettering in the eye-catching Python Green are also exclusive GTS features. However, only Apple CarPlay is a capability feature of the Macan's infotainment system, with Android Auto still missing.
