All Porsche on the inside, the Macan is a nice place to be, even if my tester is simply a “base” model. The seats are the biggest hit for me in the Macan – they are utterly fantastic and the suede inserts keep you planted in the seat while also reducing that harsh cold leather feel in the winter.
The adjustability of the seats is also noteworthy, allowing you to decide if you want to drive the Macan like a hatchback and ride low down in the cockpit, or if you like the high seating position of an SUV.
The biggest downside is the lack of sunroof, something I don’t typically care about to be honest. And of course for a price you can get one, but with all the dark materials and smallish glass area it is pretty dark inside the Macan.
The trunk space is larger than expected and the folding rear seats add even more space. This really is a utilitarian sports vehicle that is capable on many road surfaces as well as running various errands that require form or function.
Value wise the interior amenities are a little suspect in this price range, although the adjustable suspension and chassis modes almost make up for the lack of tech features. The multitude of buttons on the centre console can be a little overwhelming — someone will figure out a great balance between touchscreens and hard buttons soon I hope.
