REPRESENTATIVE PHOTOWolfgang Vrede / PexelsOur verdict
8.7 / 10No SUV drives quite like a Macan — even the base 2.0-litre is sharp, fast steering and genuinely fun. The V6 S and GTS are properly quick, and Porsche build quality is excellent. You pay for it in price, options and a tighter rear seat than GLC or Q5.
Who it's for — Enthusiasts who want Porsche dynamics in a daily-usable SUV and accept smaller space and higher running costs.
PROS

- +Strong residuals — among the best in class
- +PDK shifts are benchmark-fast
CONS
- –488 L boot and rear space lag mainstream rivals
- –Options list inflates prices quickly
- –Petrol line being phased out in favour of Macan Electric
