  • Adaptive air suspension with a lower ride height
  • Sport exhaust
  • Aerodynamic body kit

  • Heated steering wheel
  • Driver-seat memory settings
  • 18-way power-adjustable front sport seats

  • Premium package
    • Panoramic sunroof
    • Keyless entry and ignition
    • Adaptive LED headlights
    • Auto-dimming mirrors
    • Heated seats
    • Blind-spot monitor (alerts you if a vehicle in the next lane over is in your blind spot)
    • 12-speaker Bose audio system
  • Premium Package Plus
    • Premium package
    • Ventilated front seats
    • 14-way power-adjustable sport seats
    • Surround-view camera system (gives you a top-down view of the Macan and its surroundings for tight parking situations)
  • Electronically locking rear differential
  • 16-speaker Burmester audio system
  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the Porsche and the car in front)
  • Lane keeping system (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane)
  • Analog stopwatch paired with steering wheel-mounted drive mode controller

Which Macan trim does Edmunds recommend?

The entry-level model is a good place to start, but we think you should jump straight to the Macan S since its turbocharged V6 delivers the performance you'd expect of a Porsche. While there are more than enough stand-alone options to tailor the Macan to your tastes, we'd start with the Premium package for its solid set of luxury features. You might want to set aside a little money for a few of the Macan's many performance-enhancing options too.
