In recent years, there have been many new mantras in the automotive circle, such as "mobile high-speed rail" Trumpchi GM8, "ten years without major repair" Toyota Highlander, scumbag driving Mercedes-Benz big G, Porsche brand success stepping stone Macan and so on.
The car that revived the Porsche brand was the Cayenne, but the Macan and Panamera also contributed a lot of sales. Especially the more reassuring Macan models, of course, you will also say that you only know the Porsche 911 model.
Porsche Macan has been promoted by Porsche in the Chinese market in recent years, with Porsche's consistent luxurious and distinguished shape design, especially the Porsche LOGO, which can indeed make the owner want to bring vanity to himself through the appearance of the atmosphere. So you're in the owner group and on the forums, the car buying group praises the Porsche Macan.

Recently, Porsche officially announced that its latest model, the Macan T, is priced at 618,000 yuan. Let's first take a look at Macan's position in Porsche and Volkswagen, familiar friends know that it is the shell of the Audi Q5.
Positioned between the Macan and Macan S, macan T launched pre-sales for the Chinese market today and will make its Asian debut at the 2022 Beijing International Auto Show.
In terms of appearance, in order to distinguish the Macan T from other Macan model designs, it uses a lot of exclusive designs, such as the front, side and rear of the vehicle, all of which are painted with onyx gray metal paint, which is indeed very luxurious and noble, and this unique contrasting color can be found on the front face trim, exterior mirrors, side panels, roof spoilers and rear markings.
Coming to the side, in terms of body size, the length, width and height are: 4726mm/1922mm/1621mm, and the wheelbase is 2807mm. It is also made of side window trim and is a standard accessory.
Also, the side panels are decorated with the black "Macan T" logo. The 20-inch Macan S wheels come standard and are painted in a unique dark titanium color. Consumers can choose from 13 solid colors, metallic paints and special colours.
The rear of the body, as a whole, is consistent with the ordinary version of the model, but adds embellishments to some areas, such as the black (high-gloss) sports tailpipe design, making it look very sporty.
Interior, the new center console design also continues the new Macan changes, in general we do not think there will be too much deviation, from the official information shows that the Macan T standard with 8-way electric adjustment heating sports seats, the use of special padding from black leather components.
The front seats and the rear outer seats have a Sport-Tex stripe pattern in the center. The front seat headrests are equipped with the Porsche coat of arms. It is worth noting that the contrasting color style of the car's exterior has also been applied to the interior of the car, and the decorative silver stitching has also appeared on the seats, headrests and steering wheels, which is personalized and exclusive.
Of course, the power and driving related configuration is also the biggest selling point of the Macan model, in terms of power, the Macan T is equipped with a 2.0T engine, the maximum power is 265 horsepower, and the peak torque is 400 N·m. The drivetrain is mated to a 7-speed PDK transmission and a four-wheel drive system from Porsche Traction Management (PTM). Sport Chrono components, including a mode switch and a "Sport Response" button, are standard on new cars, allowing the Macan T to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.2 seconds.
Porsche said: Compared with the 2.9-liter V6 twin-turbo engine on the Macan S and Macan GTS, the powertrain of the Macan T has reduced the weight on the front axle by 58.8kg, which also promotes the Macan T to have excellent starting performance and cornering ability, and the driving maneuverability has been greatly improved.
The Porsche Macan T is the only Porsche model on sale with a Steel Suspension Standard Porsche Active Suspension Management System (PASM), which also reduces the bodywork by 15 mm compared to the regular version. The anti-roll bars on the front axle have become stiffer. The new car is also optionally fitted with an adaptive air suspension with Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) and a further 10 mm lower body height.
The editor has something to say:
Just earlier, after the new Porsche Macan model came out, there was news that in 2023, Porsche will launch a pure electric version of the Macan, and it is difficult to imagine that Porsche's hot models will also become new energy models. Nowadays, the new Porsche Macan T may also be the last exclusive version of the fuel engine version, and the improvement in performance may not be felt by everyday driving, but the improvement in configuration is still quite real. At the 2022 Beijing Auto Show, we will give you the first feedback at the booth. (Photo: Source motor 1; Text: Chen Fengmei, editor)
