2019 Porsche Macan S Review: This SUV is sufficiently sporty

Porsche's refreshed Macan S offers sporting pretensions in spades, but something doesn't feel quite right in its execution.

Drive one and you will stop complaining about cost, shared bits & pieces etc...my Macan S rocks!

[@reid501]

This. I don’t need a deep tech package, I need a deep driving package … which Porsche has put in standard because Porsche.

[@palashholkar]

Nice review Exposing how premium companies too don’t include standard features in base model

[@burkemounts7107]

From my perspective Porsche offers more customization than any other company. So I consider a Macan S to be $80k new, but you can make it cheaper if you don’t want things. No need for heated seats in Miami, I wouldn’t want to have that price included when I’d never use that option

[@doccyber]

Porsche is notorious for nickel and diming the customers. I guess if you have customers with deep pockets it’s ok to charge for basic stuff.

[@OnTheSnap1]

If they make one electric maybe it’s worth considering again. I liked my Madan GTS, but sold it for a model 3 performance Tesla. Don’t miss it at all

[@BigBoss-ps6vk]

OnTheSnap1 damn

[@whitemailprivilege2830]

Big Boss watch your language

[@jsz2619]

Madan GTS? You mean Madam GTS.

[@kymsomerville9024]

He bags it but he is looking for one one line? He should just buy a GM suv, then he will realise he was wrong about the Macan.

[@golfbuddy1969]

I enjoy your reviews, even when I don’t completely agree with you. Newsflash: Porsches are expensive. They charge for everything. I still love them...all of them.

[@DoctorSkillz]

Mr. Krok is the auto journalist we need.

[@hbk92701]

Hearing which features don't come with this car as standard and how much makes it feel especially egregious here. BMW and Benz are not even as bad as this. It is sad that a base Honda Accord is going to be more safe than this thing.

[@9fiveb180]

Yeah........ You made that shit up. The active safety systems and most of the options he listed are all in the premium package and technology packages. The Macan has the NCAP highest ratings for every single test. Besides, it's only money, and if you had one you’d understand that BMW and Mercedes do not stack up to the Macan.

[@ScottParisi]

Fun and accurate review. I have the same wheels on my 2021 Turbo. $24,000 in options on mine and still no adaptive cruise control or torque vectoring.

[@whitemailprivilege2830]

2:03 That’s a bad pronunciation of “je ne sais quoi”.

[@mcolegt]

Great review. There's a reason Porsche makes the most profit on new car sales than any other manufacturer

[@jermainec2462]

Unfortunately most of these that I will pass in my Hyundai accent on the interstate will in the fast lane doing 62 wen traffic is going at least 75 😐😐 ... Ppl spend this amount of money have the tech, horsepower,and sportiness of a Tru Porsche and they will drive it like a Buick enclave smh

[@BrogeKilrain]

Good review ✅ I get insulted when they charge for what a Carola comes with standard . BMW charging for Apple play is kick in nuts to me

[@whitemailprivilege2830]

Darren sometimes you just need a little kick in the nuts 🥜

[@BrogeKilrain]

😆😆 yeah but I’m Not paying for it to happen

[@shamsulazhar]

@@BrogeKilrain LOL! Good reply!

[@BrogeKilrain]

Nilesh Kumar Routray wtf is with that spell correct 😆

[@ewoo]

A refreshing dissenting take for the Macan! I totally agree on all points. Nice work!

[@PeteinMD]

Shame the current model wasn't tested...

[@briand.1694]

The speedometer labeling doesn't make a lot of sense to me. In the US, the common speed-limits are 20, 30, 45, 55 and 65 MPH. Why would they have 25, 50 and 75 MPH? Trying to maintain 20 MPH through a school zone means you have to keep the needle on the line just below 25. WHY??? Doesn't seem very convenient. . .

[@omarbryant7930]

Brian D. Because the car was made with Germany in mind, not America

[@Clearwater2011]

You can use the digital display and select cruse 👍

[@9fiveb180]

It displays your speed in the center in digits if you’re having problems staying up to speed with the rest of the free world. It also has speed limit recognition and can regulate the adaptive cruise control system on its own.

[@swanblake]

Love the honesty in this review. Spot on with all your points. Seems like after 10, $3k option packs, you might get a decent car

[@9fiveb180]

Mine was only $91k and it has everything but the Burmiester Audio sys. Stop being so dramatic.

[@diegodiegito7248]

i prefer alfa romeo stelvio qv

[@cestrian5294]

Not everybody wants stuff that the car decides what to do. Lane changing and stuff I would never use.

[@tonys9413]

Coming in 2021, the next Macan will ride on an electric platform shared with the second-gen Taycan.

[@mikehlee69]

Something missing alright and im not talking about the car

[@lizmyers469]

All the cash in your wallet?

[@originalb4]

this review sounds biased like he had a bad experience with a porsche. Send this guy to review toyotas or something

[@TimMoran1973]

Idk why but it reminds me of a Mazda SUV 🚙.

[@joaomauriciobasiledesouza6204]

Tenho os dois. A 3008 é um baita carro e com muita tecnologia mas tem a metade da cilindrada a metade da potência, metade da estabilidade em curvas e nem de longe chega perto da tocada da Macan.

[@MrNemo721]

I'd rather take an X3 m40i

[@shaygaa]

Good review, keep on saying the true as you see it ....

[@telliesmith9825]

Nobody bad mouths a Porsche are you crazy there going to have you in the unemployment line hahaha you buyin these cause you want a Porsche basically

[@philtripe]

they should have just called it the new Beetle ...if fact, until i hear otherwise im sure this was going to be the next gen Beetle

[@9fiveb180]

You’re obviously a real automotive connoisseur. One of those Jeep Dodge rattle trap mavericks I’m sure.

[@mirelurk-fish7387]

Nice Jetta headunit 🙄

[@acche-rc]

Horrible value

[@paulm6481]

Holly button overload Batman, who designed this junk?

[@eidolonthrall6122]

Porsche always have alot of plastic...

[@9fiveb180]

Really? Thats what you have to add? Whats in your car.......solid gold?

[@ShermanMR2]

Porsche=Very Over Priced

[@_Chev_Chelios]

Obviously not...they sell plenty to willing buyers.

[@pageljp]

Stick with your TOYota..... MR2.

[@witsendcottage595]

Suckers are born every minute

[@pageljp]

@@witsendcottage595 Factually, owners of this brand have one of the highest IQs and income to match.

[@UsherSyed]

Yes but Porsche owners know what they are getting into. They are willing to pay more because the sporty drive and comfort mix is important to them.

[@minivanlinda1762]

Better options out there ..this just looks like a cheap Porsche

[@paulm6481]

Ride is bad. Too noise. Bad transmission. Needs air ride because it is too rough. Lol garbage German CUV , just pass

[@pageljp]

I suppose you never owned one.

[@witsendcottage595]

Bad has mileage

[@paulm6481]

Too low, looks like a Focus. Pass and go for Aviator.

[@researcher5528]

in other words its rubbish

[@9fiveb180]

You’re a special one aren’t ya?
