Porsche has spent the past 70 years perfecting the art of the sports car. But, more recently, they also seem to have perfected the art of the urban SUV. The Cayenne and Macan are the most car-like and dynamically capable SUVs that you can buy today – the Macan especially! In fact, if you want a sports car for Indian roads, the Macan is exactly what you need. It drives and feels every bit like a Porsche sports car, while, at the same time, giving you enough ground clearance and comfort to ensure that you don’t cringe every time you come across a pothole – which, on our roads, is pretty much all the time!
On top of that, the Macan is actually quite practical too. Plus, the dashboard feels like its milled from a single piece of billet aluminium – Porsche has really taken the quality of its machines to a different level. And, to our eyes, it looks pretty special too. The only trouble with the Macan is that its engine performance isn’t quite up to sports car standards while the cabin space it offers in the rear seat isn’t quite up to luxury SUV standards either, so it demands a very specific buyer – one who’s looking for an everyday usable Porsche driving experience. If that sounds like you, the Macan simply can’t be beat.
