Every Macan is has with a seven-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. Sure, some competitors are more affordable and practical, but they dont cast a spell on their drivers in the same way that Porsche does. It truly sets the standard for what crossovers can be.It is unquestionably more engaging and livelier than almost any other crossover on the road and many cars, for that matter. Quickness is important in a crossover with sporting intentions, but we wouldnt be nearly as impressed with the Macan if it werent for its all-around competence on the road. The ride is wonderfully smooth and carefully controlled, and it is rare for a jolt from the road to make its way up through the cabin.Edmunds offeredIt starts with whats under the hood. Five fast-revving and powerful engine options, from 252 horsepower all the way to 440 hp, give the Macan plenty of power.
