The new Porsche Macan is a compact luxury SUV that may not be the most recent addition to the lineup from Porsche but does count as one of the company's most potent offerings. An all-wheel-drive cruiser, it is sportier than most of the competitors in the segment. Best of all, it is available today at Napleton's Porsche Downtown Chicago.

Designed to be the perfect combination of performance, utility and agility, all in one handsome package, the Macan is highly adaptable to its surroundings and its buyers. It also happens to be Porsche's best-selling vehicle. Let the product experts at Porsche Downtown Chicago help you find your perfect Macan today.

Porsche Cars, as a brand, works to ensure performance and luxury are the prime motivation in everything they build. The Macan continues with that very theme and the results are pretty resounding. This best-seller is a five-passenger, four-door crossover SUV that thinks it's a sports car. An overland hot-rod, the Porsche Macan includes all-wheel drive (AWD) and a choice of power from three different engines.

By power, here's an easy look at the various Porsche Macan trim levels:

In 2023, Porsche will offer a fully-electric Macan. It will be built on Porsche's dedicated electric vehicle platform and sold alongside the gas-powered models.

All Porsche Macan SUVs are matched to a seven-speed PDK dual-clutch automatic transmission and a rear-biased all-wheel-drive (AWD) system. Under extreme loads, the vehicle starts with bite to all four wheels, giving way to a rear bias once cruising speed has been attained. The Porsche Macan is not all about speed either, but make no mistake: It is fast. Here's the kicker: When properly equipped, the top line Porsche Macan GTS can tow nearly 5,300 pounds.

The wheel and tire selection are similar to those found on its more mature Porsche Cayenne sibling. Those looking for a smoother ride would be wise to select the 18-inch tire range, while enthusiasts might like the visual appeal of the larger 20- and 21-inch sport alloys available on the higher performance models. From a size standpoint, the Porsche Macan competes with entries from BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi.

The new Macan interior is not as big as some other vehicles in the lineup but still features a proper Porsche sports-oriented interior. Attention to detail is apparent throughout, and in a nod toward Porsche purists, the Macan continues to include the traditional ignition button placement to the left of the steering wheel.

There's an interesting story behind the ignition placement. As racing lore would have it, the key was located on the left side of the steering wheel so a driver at the 24 Hours of Le Mans or other such road race could enter the car after sprinting across the track, open the door, hop in with his left hand twisting the key while his right hand was going for the steering wheel. Well, that was how it was supposed to work. Other stories have recently appeared saying the ignition wiring came up the left side of the dashboard, and instead of using another 12 inches of wiring, why not just route it through the dashboard, on the left, where it came through. The so-called Le Mans start is no longer used due to safety concerns, including drivers racing away without buckling seatbelts and harnesses. Still, the placement of the ignition control remains.

The traditional Porsche gauge arrangement lives on in the Porsche Macan. A large tachometer takes center stage, flanked by a speedometer on the left, and digital screen on the right. The center stack features a 10.9-inch touchscreen display to operate the audio system, navigation, Apple CarPlay and more.

Firmly-bolstered front sport seats are here to enhance your driving experience. In the rear, there are 17.7 cubic feet of cargo space. Fold the 40/20/40 rear seats forward and that area grows to 53-cubic feet.

The Porsche Macan is well-equipped regardless of trim level selected. Besides your model of choice, there are features such as a power liftgate and an alarm system. Add in the standard 7-speed PDK double-clutch transmission, four USB ports, tri-zone climate controls, split-folding rear seat, lane departure control and a Porsche audio system for enhanced entertainment from behind the wheel. Macan S owners receive the added benefits of a standard air suspension and the Porsche Active Suspension Management system (PASM) with sport and sport+ modes.

That's quite a lot of standard equipment. Still, we understand that many Porsche owners prefer to enhance their overall ownership experience by selecting many available options. These include the Premium Package Plus with its huge panoramic sunroof, Apple CarPlay and Bose Surround Sound Audio system. There's also the Sport Chrono Package with stopwatches, a sport plus mode that remaps engine, gearbox and chassis settings and the Sport Response Button that gives a momentary burst of performance for a 20-second interval, as needed.

The GTS Sport Package is all-new this year and includes all the contents found in the Sport Chrono Package. It then adds an appearance package, carbon-fiber interior trim, sport seats and Python Green paint, exclusively available on the GTS Sport Package model.

The Porsche Macan is available at Napleton's Porsche Downtown Chicago today. The Base Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Prices (without options) vary according to the model and trim level. The available Macan trim options appear below:
