GRR: First Drive: Porsche Macan T 2022 Review

[as7920]

The Porsche Macan has been on sale since 2014. It’s been updated a couple of times and it still manages to feel fresh almost a decade later. It’s a small SUV that sits right at the top of its class for many reasons. That Porsche badge helps, but it’s also a pretty good car to drive, certainly as good as anything else of this size. The Macan T is new to the range in 2022, and sits in between the standard Macan and the V6 Macan S. The T stands for Touring, and it mixes the chassis upgrades you’ll find in the S with the four-cylinder engine from the standard car. Our question is, was this a gap that needed filling?

Lol@ only a £1000 cheaper. Spec for spec the S is £3k + more expensive.

It is, but…
If you are speccing a T with over £10k of options it wouldn’t make sense not to go with S with £8k of options?

Spec for spec, the S could be up to £6k more, but basically it’s impossible to do a direct comparison, as the T has some things that are unique to that model.

I agree that if adding over £10k of options to a T, then an S should be seriously considered.

The lead time is a big factor for some people though.

The main reason that I ordered a 2.0 way back in 2015 was that there was a MUCH longer wait for an S, compared to a 2.0, and I needed the Macan to replace a company car that was coming to the end of its lease period.
