2022 has arrived, and Porsche, which has always been a favorite fan, has brought you the new 2022 Macan model at the beginning of the year. Although it is a mid-term redesign, porsche's sincerity is quite real, and secondly, as the last pure fuel Macan series model, the update of the new Macan also deserves our special attention.
Continuing Porsche's new car design trends in recent years, the new Macan model is also more Porsche 911 (992) in appearance. As the most recognizable design change of the new car, the new Macan adopts a new 3D structure front and rear lip design in the front face and rear rear, which not only widens the visual effect of the Macan's body, but also enhances the muscle sense of the whole car. As for the Porsche Dynamic Lighting System (PDLS) and Sport Design exterior mirrors that many fans are looking forward to, Porsche has also added them to this update. Here I have to say that although it is the most entry-level model of the Porsche brand, Porsche attaches as much importance to the Macan as it does to any of its model series. After all, since its birth in 2014, Macan models have sold more than 600,000 units worldwide, and most of the 600,000 owners are young consumers with unlimited spending power.
Therefore, in the update of the new Macan, Porsche, which has always been good at personalization, has also expanded the personalization freedom of the Macan car series once again.
At present, Macan can provide 200 personalized configurations. Among them, 3 new models of optional body colors were added, reaching 14 models. In addition to the emphasis on personalizing young consumers at the design level, the new Macan also introduces touch-type central control buttons derived from the Taycan car series at the configuration level, and the multimedia system and central control screen like the Porsche 911 further increase the size to 10.9 inches. In addition to mainstream safety and convenience features, Porsche has also optimised the design of the steering wheel and gear levers to enhance the Sporty Atmosphere of the Macan.
It has to be said that such a change is very Porsche, and as the control ceiling of the once compact luxury SUV model, today's new Macan has further raised the threshold of this title.
Even without the need to install the Cherono Sporty Kit and the Porsche Electronic Shock Absorber System (PASM), the performance of the new Macan at the Zhuhai International Circuit is already impressive. Compared to the previous model, the chassis support of the new car has been fully improved, and the inconspicuous side tilt plus the flexible rear, the new Macan is an SUV model that will make you enjoy driving on the track. However, as a driving enthusiast, I would highly recommend that you choose the Cherono Sport Kit and the Electronic Shock Absorber System (PASM) for the Macan model, or purchase the Macan GTS with the above sports kits as standard in one step. Because the last-generation Macan GTS was the best SUV I've ever driven, and the new Macan GTS, which has been fully upgraded with a chassis, will certainly not disappoint us at all.
Since it comes to subdivision models, the new Macan currently on sale has three model series of Macan, Macan S and Macan GTS, of which the entry-level Macan is equipped with the fourth-generation EA888 engine, which is also the first new car in China equipped with a fourth-generation EA888 engine. As the main model of our test drive, this newly tuned engine has obviously made no small adjustment in the power output logic, compared to the old model, with a 7-stop wet dual-clutch transmission, the new Macan responds more quickly in the engine's low-speed range.
The macan S engine has changed the most in this mid-term overhaul, with the 2.9-litre V6 twin-turbo engine of the previous generation Of Macan GTS now being supplied to the new Macan S, which has 26 horsepower and 380 horsepower over the original engine, and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.6 seconds. The new Macan GTS, which is also equipped with this engine, has reached a maximum power of 440 horsepower, and the acceleration time of 0 to 100 km / h has reached 4.3 seconds, which is close to that of many sports cars.
Under the premise that the next generation of Macan is determined not to use pure fuel engines, you will deeply appreciate the great sincerity of Porsche when it updates the Macan series. So stop thinking that the Macan is just a ticket to Porsche, like all Porsches, the new Macan is the most performance, luxury, personality and sporty choice in the same class, with the new Macan, you can unlock everything Porsche is beautiful.
