For some folks, an entry-level model is hardly something to consider. The very thought of it conjures up images of underpowered engines, blank switches, and unattractive trim pieces that make the process of watching paint dry seem exciting.
Adding to the visual spectacle are the contrasting black trim panels against the Carrara White Metallic paintwork, including the front grille surround that features a textured diamond pattern. And to complete the aggressive look, our press car was fitted with a set of optional 20-inch grey Macan S double five-spoke wheels, and thick Michelin Latitude Sport 3 tyres to go with them.
It's not without its faults, though. The Macan's interior is starting to show its age, and you're greeted with plenty of last-generation switchgear, including the clunky-looking gear shifter and buttons. Two USB Type-C charging and connectivity ports are available at the front, while another two USB ports are located on the rear centre console for charging purposes.
The Macan rumbles into life with a surprisingly throaty exhaust note, thanks to the quad pipes at the back. Twist the Drive Mode dial on the steering wheel, and you get to decide how unhinged you want the SUV to be. The responsive and well weighted steering, working in tandem with the Porsche Traction Management , encourages you to throw the 261 bhp SUV around corners confidently and at high speeds, without body roll interfering at any point in time.
