What is the first thing I would like to say about the Macan model? Porsche has released a new mid-size crossover produced by the world famous German concern. Initially, it was planned to call it differently - Porsche Cajun. So, it's worth talking about this model, because it was really expected.
About the history of the Macan
Porsche Macan became the second off-road vehicle in the Porsche lineup. The first was, as you might guess, the same Cayenne. The world premiere of the brand new car took place in Los Angeles in 2013. Sales in Europe began at the beginning of last year, 2014. Earlier it was said that this car was based on the chassis from its “relative” on the platform - the Audi Q5. However, in its design, the manufacturer decided to use more parts made of aluminum. Due to suchThe solution turned out to make the Macan model lighter. Porsche began to weigh less as much as 130 kilograms. And this is taking into account the fact that the Porsche has much larger dimensions than the Audi Q5.
The SUV is 4675mm long and 1923mm wide. The wheelbase is the same as the Q5. Trunk volume is not bad - 500 liters. And it can be increased three times (up to 1500 l) by folding the backs of the rear row.
Exterior and Interior
This is also an important nuance regarding the Macan model. Porsche received a very original and interesting design. The aggressive front end immediately demonstrates the sporty character of this model. It is also impossible not to notice the sloping roof with a heavily littered C-pillar. Plus, narrow taillights and a side rear window that has been significantly reduced.
The interior of the car was designed specifically for him. He is very special and unique. Its main feature is "character". The interior is in perfect harmony with the exterior of the car. However, there is plenty of space inside. Besides, it is very comfortable. Due to comfortable high-quality seats and coziness masterfully created by designers, it turned out to create a car that you just don’t want to get out of.
Specifications
As powertrains for a car such as the Porsche Macan, manufacturers have prepared various motors. For example, the modification known as the “S” designation boasts a 3-liter V6 supercharged engine, whose power is 340Horse power. It provides the car with acceleration to 100 km in 5.5 seconds. And the maximum that the model can reach is 254 km/h.
But, for example, Macan Turbo is driven by a 3.6-liter upgraded twin-turbo "six". It develops 400 horsepower. With such an engine, the crossover reaches hundreds in 4.8 seconds. And the maximum is 260 km / h. Indeed, powerful figures for a crossover SUV!
But you can still buy a car like the Porsche Macan Diesel. Its characteristics also cannot but rejoice: 258 horsepower, 3 liters volume - such a model can accelerate to 100 km / h in 6.4 seconds. And these are good indicators for a car with a diesel engine “registered” under the hood. The maximum speed also cannot be called small - 227 km / h. What about the gearbox? The brand new Porsche can run either a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed automatic (2 clutches).
Updates
Porsche Macan technical characteristics are worthy - this could already be understood. However, not everything has been said about them. In 2014, in the spring, a two-liter petrol turbocharged “four” became available for this SUV. She gave out 240 horsepower and worked under the control of a 7-band gearbox. A car with such characteristics reaches the mark of 100 km/h in less than 7 seconds. And its maximum speed is 223 km / h. Excellent performance for a car with a 2-liter power unit!
Manufacturers also promised to produce a 180-horsepower starting diesel and a 54-horsepower electric motor. More precisely, the developments are already there, it remains only to implement them in the Porsche Macan car.
Cost
Porsche Macan, which is quite expensive, is a car that many dream to buy. Indeed, this is a very successful model. The car turned out to be practical, comfortable, powerful and reliable - all in the best traditions of Porsche. A brand new model in Russia costs about 3,381,000 rubles. This is the cost of the above version S.
And how much will you have to pay for the top version of the Porsche Macan? The price of such a car reaches 4,869,000 rubles. On April 12, 2014, sales of this car began in Russia. A more affordable car for Russian pockets (that is, a diesel version) will appear only at the end of this year - in December 2015. It will also cost a lot - approximately 3,381,000 rubles. It will also offer various additional options. For example, PASM active suspension or “pneumatics”. Plus, you can pay extra for such nice and necessary additions as all-LED optics, adaptive cruise control and a powerful modern audio system with 16 loud speakers. Those who wish can also equip their car with a multimedia complex with a built-in navigation system, various modern security systems and a panoramic roof. In general, the car is not cheap, but it is worth it.
