In the luxury brand camp, the term cost performance is a product description that rarely appears, and due to the existence of the brand premium, the more advanced the product seems to have nothing to do with the cost performance. However, there are always exceptions of one kind or another in the market, and if you choose a cost-effective model in Porsche products, I think it is the Macan. Of course, this is a very controversial product...
On the evening of January 9, Porsche's new Macan went on the market, bringing three models: the Macan for 554,000 yuan, the Macan S for 688,000 yuan, and the Macan GTS for 848,000 yuan. The new model has not changed much in the interior and exterior design, the front grille part has been slightly adjusted, and the larger area of the grille brings a more sporty visual effect. The sides are the same as the previous model, and the rear surround exhaust style at the rear has also been slightly adjusted.
The interior has been treated with some technology, reducing many physical buttons and using touch buttons to look more modern. But by and large, it's still a familiar taste. It is worth mentioning that the analog clock above the instrument table has now become standard, and there are still a large number of optional components in the interior, and everyone can choose some details according to their own preferences and aesthetic tastes.
In terms of power, in addition to the standard Macan equipped with a 2.0T four-cylinder engine with a maximum power of 195kW, the Macan S and Macan GTS both build 2.9L V6 twin-turbo engines, with a maximum power of 280kW and 324kW under different tunings, and the transmission is matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission (PDK, also known as: running fast). I will not talk about the acceleration results, and recently I have been some aesthetic fatigue by the acceleration results of electric vehicles.
In terms of power, it is worth talking about the 2.0T four-cylinder equipped with the new Macan, which is the fourth-generation EA888 engine.
Back to the topic we just talked about, why did I say that the Macan is the most cost-effective model for Porsche?
You know, at this price point we can choose from a very limited number of products, some BBA sports cars are also some niche products, their retention rate can be said to be described as miserable, but Macan is an exception, in the inherent impression of the consumer public, Porsche's brand status is higher than BBA, on the other hand, Macan's retention rate in the second-hand market is far ahead of some of the same price BBA sports products, so That Macan is particularly attractive.
Of course, I also mentioned that this is a very controversial product. The point of contention is not in its product strength, but in the consumer market's evaluation of it has diverged, the editor believes that this is a very cost-effective Porsche, while another part of the consumer believes that it is "unworthy" of Porsche. On a website, "Why do people think that buying a Porsche Macan is a pretense?" With 982 answers, it can be seen that there are not a few people who hold such views.
Finally, the new Macan is listed, in my opinion, is a very worthwhile product to start, even if you buy the 2.0T four-cylinder version, you can also enjoy the driving experience brought by Porsche, after a few years of driving feel uncomfortable and then sell, often more cost-effective than buying other sports models of the same level. Of course, the products available at the same level are very limited, and the only one that really opens the young market seems to be Macan, which is another important reason why Macan is quite cost-effective.
