2022 Porsche Macan review // Updated power, looks and interior

#PorscheMacan

#CoupleCarReview
This is a Motormouth couple car review of the updated 2022 Porsche Macan compact luxury SUV. Sleeker and Sportier than ever before, the 2022 Porsche Macan! The Macan is a popular entry-level model for Porsche, globally Porsche has delivered 600,000 since the models launch in 2014. 80% of Macan buyers are new Porsche customers and the proportion of women who buy a Macan has increased significantly over the years and is the largest increase amongst all Porsche models. What’s new for 2022? All Macan models get a power bump with the GTS getting the outgoing Macan Turbo engine. New exterior styling touches include, a redesigned spoiler, side blades, rear fascia and diffuser, mirrors and wheel designs ranging in size from 19”, 20” and 21”. The Macan comes standard with 19” wheels up from 18” on the previous model. It has standard black brake calipers, the S and GTS models come in red. There are new colour options including, Papaya Metallic on our test model which also has 21” GT design wheels in high gloss black and all season tires for $6,150 CAD. The interior also gets a refresh with a new centre console, steering wheel and shifter, gone are all the buttons. Instead Porsche is focusing on a more modern and clean interior design. I’ll have more interior pictures tomorrow. The base model Macan has a 2L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine with a 7-speed automatic transmission, 261 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. It gets a boost in power by 13 horsepower from the previous model. Standard AWD and you are going to have to put premium fuel in this crossover. The Macan S inherits the 375 horsepower from the 2021 GTS model and the GTS gets 434 horsepower from the Turbo model. What a lineup!!The biggest change to the interior is to the centre console, gone are all the buttons. The Macan has joined the Cayenne and Panamera with touch sensitive controls creating a slick and modern look. This crossover also gets a new shifter and steering wheel in the refresh. Our test model has a black leather interior but there are plenty of other colour combos to choose from including Mojave beige, Bordeaux red and Pebble grey. There are also different stitching combinations like Papaya, Bordeaux Red and Gentian Blue. The Macan comes standard with a 10.9” touchscreen, wireless Apple Carplay, sorry no Android Auto like the Cayenne, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, 8-way power seats, a power tailgate and a 10-speaker audio system. We recommend adding either the Premium package for $2,560 CAD/$2,240 USD or Premium Plus for $5,770/$5,050 USD to get some extra features. The first package gets you LED headlights with the Porsche dynamic light system, Bose sound system, lane change assist and heated rear seats. Premium Plus gets you all those features plus ventilated front seats, panoramic sunroof and 14-way power seats with memory package, available 18-way power seats. You can also add the Burmester sound system for $5,370 CAD and there are plenty of a la carte items if you don’t want to add a package including, the panoramic sunroof for $1,910 CAD/$1,670 USD.

Great Review Guys as usual. I am really glad that they have the base model in the 4 Cylinder, here in Jamaica, the import duty is based on engine size, so there is a huge difference between prices of the base and s models! I have my base on order for May delivery, can’t wait! I did notice something in your review that I did not notice in any of the others I have seen, the fact they changed the turn signal, now to include basically all lights flashing, instead of just the indicator light, looks cool!

Very good review! Two points I wanted to bring up: 1.) Porsche PDLS LED lights are standard headlights across the Macan range (in Canada) the PDLS + is an option for automatic high beams. 2.) You can lock in your maintenance costs, similar structure and cost as Mercedes Benz, at around $1,400 for the first 3 years of ownership. Thanks again for the great review!

[@Motormouth...]

Maintenance also includes brakes and tires, which are a lot on a Porsche.

Love the Macan...its my favorite Porsche. The style and performance is why you buy this car. The smaller size is great...especially for those of us w/o families to shuttle about. The GV70 I'm seeing a lot now...every color combo I have seen I like. I will be on the lookout for this Macan I imagine they will be one the streets in a few weeks. Thank you for your review...stay warm...some of your Canadian cold weather arrived this morning... I'd be happy to return it.

[@andreaspencer9813]

You are right, it's exactly why you buy this vehicle. The GV70 is another great one and offers a lot of value with the 2.5T, I am seeing plenty on the road as well. I prefer how the Macan handles and drives to the GV70 but the the Genesis is a wonderful option and less money if you are on a tighter budget.

[@chenchen3299]

I hope you can do a video with the new 2022 Macan S. I am currently thinking of buying X3 M40i/GLC43/MacanS

[@EGW769]

Hi Zack and Andrea - I hear Porsche will be unveiling the all new Macan later this year so reckon it will be better to wait for that one. It will have to be competively priced if Porsche want to continue to sell the Macan in such high volumes. My dealer has said the new model is likely to carry a £4k (7k Canadian) premium over the S petrol. So still affordable to aspiring Macan owners at today’s price if you go easy on those extras! Best Clive

[@666DW]

Love your reviews guys all the way from the U.K. I have to confess that although the Macan is a desirable vehicle with fantastic residual values, I would take the BMW X3 M40i all day and everyday. In the U.K. there is currently a 12 month wait for a new Macan and up to 9 months for the X3 M40i. I do think the X3 is more practical with a good standard equipment list unlike the more expensive Macan, and that BMW inline 6 cylinder with 380 horses is sublime.

[@Motormouth...]

A great choice

[@andreaspencer9813]

Thank you glad you like the reviews and thanks for sharing your point of view 👍

[@brumalerie]

I’ve watched this video maybe a few dozens times now in prep for my T this summer. With so many new car variants you guys have on deck and you already reviewing the Macan through the years and the Macan going EV now, is the likelihood of a Macan T review pretty much in the rear view mirror? (no pun intended) Thanks

[@zakarneh]

Thanks for the great review. I think the future of electrification might bring more affordable prices as battery production become more affordable. I think it might be similar to that time when flat screen tvs were so expensive and now there so affordable

[@Motormouth...]

I actually think battery prices will go up as more manufacturers are competing for rare earth materials. Supply and demand.

[@andreaspencer9813]

We'll see, I think we are a ways off from that in my opinion. Although I hear the EV's coming from China will be priced less, so we'll see....

[@kathystrahle8758]

A subscriber...so excited when I saw there was a new review out there...of a Macan, which I own. Since I am not a fan of EV, I have been considering a newer replacement for my '17 Macan GTS. Enjoyed your review, but it is a tough time for consumers, wanting a new vehicle, but you can't get one. Unless, you want a base Macan. Interesting about 80% of those buying a base Macan are new Porsche buyers. They certainly achieved their goal; getting new people to experience the Porsche brand. But for me, it would have to be an 'S' at a minimum. Even if you can one, it will not have some standard features because of the chip shortage. For example, on the Macan GTS, the steering wheel column no longer comes with a power adjustment. Can't remember what it was on a BMW X3 M40i, but it was a deal breaker for me. In addition, because of supply and demand dealers are able to charge over MSRP, which should prohibit any one from purchasing at this time. But, I still love watching your reviews. Thanks so much for honest reviews.

[@andreaspencer9813]

Thank you so much, really glad you are enjoying our reviews, we appreciate the kind words. It is a tough time right now for all manufacturers. I hear from followers who are purchasing an X5 and they can't get a touchscreen or a wireless charger. Not sure i see an end in sight right now either.

[@judih.8754]

I've been a Porsche owner since 1978, all sports cars. While I appreciate the SUVs they are pricey when compared to the competition. And the fuel mileage isn't great, but I understand that's a trade off for sportiness and towing capacity. I'm sticking with the 2 seaters and going elsewhere for a daily driver. Excellent review as always!

[@OMGWTFLOLSMH]

Like Zack and Andrea, I've had a couple Porsche sports cars, a 911 and a 928S. My next one will be a Macan S, as my days of getting in and out of sports cars are over, plus, 911s are just too expensive now, even used ones and especially vintage ones. Sorry, an 84 Carrera is not worth $60k-80k+. The Macan S seems like a perfect all around vehicle for 2 people. Fun to drive, great looking, quiet and comfortable, easy to get in and out of, practical, etc.

Great review - those gloss black GT wheels look fantastic but are now only available on the GTS model as Porsche have had such huge demand and therefore limited stocks!

[@avery4528]

Would you take the Macan T or the BMW X340i? The Macan T looks much more premium at $5,000 more and handling is as good as it gets. However it does only get the 4 cylinder from the GTI. The Macan T is suited well to the 4 cylinder if you are carving a back road and keeping the RPM as high as it goes in the manual mode. But, there is less drama than the B58, less everyday power, and the four cylinder isn't going to give as good fuel economy as the BMW B58 I6 twin-scroll turbo which is probably the best drivetrain of any daily use car.

[@mangladeepak]

Yours are only car reviews I found helpful!! Would you recommend buying a Macan or leasing is better? Like people say it's better to lease a German car and get rid of it while still in warranty, what you recommend for Porsche? Thank you for the great work!

[@Motormouth...]

A lease is a great way to test drive the car, you can always buy it out at the end of the lease if you like the car.

[@andreaspencer9813]

Thank you very much, we really appreciate the support. I am a big fan of leasing, if you like the vehicle at the end of the lease, buy it out and keep it. We are keeping our diesel Cayenne, no need to sell it and jump into another one when we have such low km on it. We don't worry about reliability with Porsche as long as you stay on top of the scheduled maintenance, we haven't had a problem. Our 911's were older models, so they required more maintenance but we knew that getting into an older model. No major issues, just maintenance.

[@Motormouth...]

Depends on how often you use the seats and what for?

[@kevinhan721]

@Motormouth sometimes to drive with family or a few buddies. Thinking Macan initially but if I go for more back seat should I just go for more space with Cayenne or Panamera ST? But if it's too big or long, would it be to bulky to drive and less agile and nimble for narrow streets in the city i live in?

BTW I think the reason people give the Q5 a pass and not the Macan when it comes to engine power and performance is because the Q5 similarly equipped is much less expensive than the Macan.

[@andreaspencer9813]

Great value with Audi even the base trim comes with plenty of standard features.

[@tomdrummy4984]

Does it have auto start/stop? I’m not spending that $ to have it turn off at a red light. Thank you ! 😊

[@Motormouth...]

You can switch it off or drive in Sport mode, which removes it all together.

[@OMGWTFLOLSMH]

By the time you add destination and taxes, you are closer to $70k than $60k. The number in BC is $67,340 for a base with all fees and taxes, not including the scammy doc fees most dealers try to rip you off with. Doubtful you can find a Porsche on a lot equipped with zero options, they almost all have some added cost options.

You are a lucky man! Andrea… 🔥

I look at this as a sedan replacement - a lifted hot hatch, the base model would be more attractive if it has about 300 hp / 300 lb ft torque

[@Hikebike365]

The macaan is a nice SUV. The base engine gets great gas mileage and is reasonably fast to 75mph. Where it falls down - any spec - is the inability to run a square tire set up - preferably narrower, winter tires in snow. This is a glaring problem for anyone that wants to use it in snow

[@saiya25]

so crazy, i just told my wife i would like to buy a porsche for the first time, she told me to do it but she wanted to pick the model, she didn't know the name but when i showed her, she pointed the macan lol

[@bobbydazzler8620]

I know it’s a car post but we should do a what’s Andrea wearing segment She always looks fabulous

[@davidberg3154]

Would you go with Macan S, BMW X3 m40i, or AMG 300 43?

[@andreaspencer9813]

For me it would be the Macan S. But, if I needed the extra space in the second row, the X3 M40i.

[@timhassett7302]

Hey guys, when you compare this to a Genesis GV70, what are your thoughts? What would you go with?

[@dndodd100]

I have never understood why the haven't put the Higher output VW Golf R engine in the Macan. Regardless I would only get the get a 6 cylinder version.

[@everybodydothebartman7413]

Beautiful vehicle. That’s all I have to say. Beautiful.

[@andreaspencer9813]

Couldn't agree more!

[@vincentbianchi3361]

Can we get at least one thumbnail with just Zack posing??🤔🤔

[@Motormouth...]

Now why would we do that, you've seen what I look like....

[@biagiooliverio8049]

It’s amazing how with each update , the interior is looking cheaper?

[@andreaspencer9813]

You have to sit in it and feel the materials, there are a lot of soft materials used throughout, I have been in other luxury brands where there is much more hard plastic. I think any sort of high gloss black can look cheap unfortunately which is why all the previous interior with all the buttons looked more expensive.

[@johnkiernan1573]

Shes incredible . That dude has won the Wife Lottery !!

[@andreaspencer9813]

Thank you! 😊

[@bassandtrebleclef]

Zack, the Q5 gets a pass because it's priced $9k less in base form, 20-25% less. Same engine, great interior on the Q5.

[@JaBlanche]

I agree. Q5 is looking old though.

[@davidmiller7771]

Nothing wrong with a q5 my friend , roads awash with them , Porsche , well says it all

[@JaBlanche]

@@davidmiller7771 Nothing wrong with it, but it's looking dated.

[@julio7842]

What are the reliability ratings for the macan? I purchased a new X3 years ago and traded it at 48,000 miles because every month a new dash light came on. It even had a radiator leak under 20,000 miles.

[@Motormouth...]

I suggest you watch the whole video, it is discussed...

[@bassandtrebleclef]

Was the radiator leak covered under warranty? That's unacceptable with 20k miles unless you're off roading and taking moguls!
