I have a Macan Turbo; previously a Cayenne Turbo. Both are thunderous beauties. Yet there are some “surprises” not obvious to the eye. For example: the Cayenne has a tighter chassis and a much smaller turning radius than does the Macan - in case you make U-turns occasionally. For those who service their own as labor of love, please know that there is no dip stick on the Macan: you need to run the engine and watch the oil pressure gauge.

I like the Macan better. Just a bit more compact, which I prefer. But both are magnificent cars. Top quality, as you expect from Porsche.

[@nigel.w]

I think in the UK's major cities, the Macan makes much more sense, size-wise. Otherwise, I think it wholly depends on how big you are, and whether or not you need a 2nd row that will comfortably accommodate 5'9"+ adults. Very good cars that are now very mature products, but I think the strange absence of Android Auto in the Macan is likely a deal-breaker for many prospective buyers, although the Macan clearly sells very well nonetheless.

[@andreasInPL7366]

The missing switches in trunk are not for tumbling rear seats. It is for the optional trailer hitch to put down into working position or hide if not used.

If you can only get one car that serves both utility and fun, then Cayenne is a great choice. Personally, my 2 car garage is a Lexus ES for everyday and 911 Turbo for fun.

[@masondrip42]

i never hear anyone talk about the fact the Cayenne was built for off roading originally. the interior gives hints to it as well. the brace handles near both passenger and driver seats. and the power, size also show case it. i prefer the Macan GTS bc of its compact size and sport look. but the history of porsche SUV is interesting

[@wks2291]

Macan is the X3/Q5/GLC/NX while the Cayenne is the X5/Q7/GLE/RX equivalent of the other brands. Depends on your style, I prefer the Cayenne.

[@Hvitserk67]

I am a family man with two grown children and I would choose Macan GTS every time. It's essentially the same story as with Cayman vs. 911. Keep it simple and less is usually more :)

[@almac9203]

Depends on whether you need the extra space. It is a family car after all.

[@nigel.w]

@@almac9203 Two grown children would seem to rule out the Macan, IMO. But I guess it depends how big you all are. I am only 5'10"/178cm, and I can't sit behind myself in the Macan. And less is not more if you want to use Android Auto. Not being combative, just saying. The Cayman is a great car. Most people don't need the two occasional seats in the 911, and the two boots in the Cayman make it very practical. The 911 obviously has different dynamics and a different image. If image is not an issue, then obviously choose whichever you prefer. Maybe it's just me, but I tend to think of the Cayman as a young man's car. And for me, it's not about what others think, but what I think about myself. Then again, the GTS 4.0 is a compelling package, regardless, and a signiicant saving over a base 911 with an arguably inferior engine. The Boxster GTS 4.0 is an even more compelling package compared to a base 911 Cabriolet. If you haven't already, be sure to take the whole family on a test drive before buying a Macan. And before ordering a new Cayman, be sure to test both seat options. I also think the 2L Macan T should not be dismissed. The V6 isn't that characterful, although in the GTS it has an abundance of power, which is nice if money is no object. I'm not sure the V8 in the Cayenne makes that much sense outside the US market, but I can take or leave a V8, as I tend to prefer the sound of a good V6. At the end of the day, I guess there's either no right answer, or it very much depends on the individual. Fortunately, Porsche and others offer an abundance of choice to cater for almost every taste and requirement. If I had to choose between a Macan and a Cayenne, I'd probably choose a Cayenne S with a number of options, but that's just me. If I were choosing a 911 or a Cayman, I'd choose a Cabriolet or a Boxster, because less (roof) is certainly more. ;-)

[@lesgrossman9492]

If you’re a family of midgets then the macan would be just fine. Otherwise the backseat behind the driver is nonexistent if the driver is anywhere close to 6 feet.

[@luvtiti]

i can afford both , the issue is if i choose the macan i’ll need another car as family mover

[@nigel.w]

@@luvtiti I think that's correct. The Macan is great up until the point when you want to comfortably transport people other than children and small adults in the second row. At that point you need a Cayenne. I wouldn't have thought that most people would want both a Macan and a Cayenne at the same time. But, I guess, in a typical family with two adults that want two cars, they may well prefer both to be SUVs. One will prefer something more compact as a daily, and the other will have to drive the family mover as a daily, or they'll have to have three cars. A problem only arises if both would prefer to drive the more compact SUV as a daily. Typically, however, there is no problem. And, I guess it's all good if that were to be be a family's only 'problem'. Good luck choosing!

Both the Cayenne and Macan are luxury crossover SUVs. Since 2003, the Cayenne became Porsche's first car with more than 2 doors, a mid-size luxury crossover SUV and saves the brand of Porsche when it was struggling in that time. Ever since its evolution since the past few years, the Macan came in 2014 as a smaller version of the Cayenne as a compact luxury crossover SUV.

Hi sir. compared with cayenne, will macan be quieter for the Sound insulation?

[@nigel.w]

I'm only 5'10"/178cm and I can't sit behind myself in the Macan. IMO, the Macan is not suitable if you want to carry men in the 2nd row. It's okay for young families, and occasional use for small adults, but otherwise the Macan is simply too small in the 2nd row. If you set the driver's seat for Thomas, I think even AJ's knees would be cramped sitting behind him.

[@kalimistakidou9103]

[@kornkid8600]

Porsche needs to install grill mesh to protect those radiators. It's a guaranteed leak eventually from a rock hitting it at speed.

[@jeremyepstein7977]

I love the Macan and I would never dissuade anyone from getting it. It drives so well. Personally I would still choose the Cayenne for a few reasons. I already have a sports car as a second car and the Cayenne drives so well compared to anything the same size that it works. It's not as good on the Macan but already having a sports car it's fine. The Cayenne just has more road presence, gets a bit more attention and that's something I want if I have an SUV. Sure, it's not a G-Wagon but the Cayenne GTS gets placed in more valets whereas a Macan GTS won't. Not important to some but it's important to me. The rear seat is also more spacious for passengers on slightly longer journeys. If I am going to have an SUV I want decent rear seats. It's all about personal preference, both are wonderful but the Cayenne GTS makes more sense for me.

The reason she likes the Macan 2023 and the GLC43 (2023) is all she has to do is swivel from her walker and she's in the seat. She hates my wife's GLE and again the Porsche Cayenne and other similar larger SUVs is you have to step up again, not easier to get into.

The Macan is indeed arguably better in the city. But it's also compromised in the 2nd row, so if not just occupying the front row, the Macan may well not suit you every day of the week. There's a reason they both exist. The Cayenne is also a step-up quality-wise. I agree that the Cayenne is a bit big in the city, but the Macan is too small on the the inside for me.

I would always go for the cayenne 👍the design is nicer especially with dark exterior.. but macan is also nice and good cash cow for porsche companie because it's also selling well like cayenne

[@perfolini]

Porsche sells way more Macans than Cayennes. Imo, Macan looks also better

Hi, Porsche Macan GTS is a car that combines two colors of red and black that I like.

[@Manc-fh5we]

Macan is better looking, holds its value better, is easier to park.

[@vampyrelycan99]

I'd say the Cayenne. The Macan used to be good but after its first major facelift in '19 everything has changed for the worse. The Cayenne however is still open to various flexible options which is why I'd regard the Cayenne as the last one standing.

[@robbcoolest]

Macan is the more sensible and valuable option! The cayenne got a weak and undertuned V8 and Porsche just cheating us with less features for more money… cayenne is only better if u want more space.

[@johnguidetti5839]

Valuable option? The cayenne is the better platform.

[@nigel.w]

It is a decision based mainly on one's space requirements. If you want a 2nd row that will comfortably accommodate larger adults, the Macan is not an option. If you want Android Auto it's also not an option. The Cayenne S (V6) with some options is a good way to go, IMO. The Macan is the sportier option, but I wouldn't say it's better. It's a very popular option among certain demographics, for sure, and probably more popular outside the US, simply because it's smaller and cheaper. IMO, the Cayenne is a significantly more upmarket car in person, which is what explains the price differential.

Isn't the Macan Turbo Top of the Macan Spec? I'm getting a 2017 model in November . It's great value for money for me. Greetings from Uganda 🇺🇬

Macan would be my choice for the UK, better residuals as well (Cayennes drop like a stone) but it’s still a car with its roots in the 2007 Q5…I appreciate Porsche’s engineers have squeezed the platform and this is the 3rd refresh, but perhaps better and more modern (roomier) alternatives are around?

[@autogefuehl]

good points

[@cvn6555]

Traded in a 2016 Macan S with 70k miles and minor front end damage from a deer strike last April. Paid 62k new got 30k on trade. Yes, they keep value very well.

Great job with your in-depth review on both vehicles. I personally prefer the Macan because of its handling which Porsche does very well. When it comes to quality interior materials Porsche and Volvo are both top notch. I swear launch control never gets old in Macan GTS 33:50.

highly appreciated !

Volvo this China Car is never compere with Porsche, Porsche is a best CAR ever !!!

@@georget5699 I still stand by my word that Volvo's always have great interiors. The 2022 Volvo XC 40 up to the XC 90 all have phenomenal interiors.

[@stevequinn70]

Macan for me too. Looks so much better.

[@nigel.w]

But, it should be a size thing, not a looks thing. The Macan is very compromised in the 2nd row. Obviously, if that doesn't matter to you, then you can choose either one, but only then. Logically, at least. Of course, it's your money, and you can choose whatever you want. If you've never seen both side by side, I can also tell you that the Cayenne is a step-up quality-wise.

[@Леликиболик-щ1л]

Cayene for sure

[@mortensenvick5711]

Cayenne is better than Macan in pretty much everything
