2023 Porsche Macan (inc. 0-100 & braking test) review

I was surprised how cheap the Porsche Macan is. With the rest of its competitors now creeping up in price, the Macan represents surprisingly good value for money. Paul Maric tests out the 2023 Porsche Macan T to see what it's like behind the wheel.

I got a Porsche Macan this month, pretty impressive

2:26 the rock costs 1500 bucks extra. it's a faithful replica of the stone that ferdinand porsche had in his shoe when he met his wife for the first time, a must for every porsche fan

First timer here and this was a great review. My current lease on 2020 Q3 is up in July and have been eyeing this model, and think I’ll pull the trigger. Fantastic color too!

[_bestcatdad]

My husband got a Macan a few weeks ago and I liked it so much that I’m picking up a Macan T today. I can’t wait to drive it off the lot.

I took delivery of my Macan T about 3 months ago. I absolutely love it so far. Glad I didn't go with the S. You get more use of the handling goodies it comes with over the few extra horsepower.

6:50 try pressing the icon on the bottom right of the display next to the volume icon. I belive that should change the size of the app. The secondary section is normally used for an addition app you would be running, like music + navigation. Music on the left, Maps on the larger right section.

Ordered my Macan T last month, can't wait!!!

Nice review. I've now made up my mind am buying this porche model Next week ASAP!!! 💯

[ricklee]

Reading all the silly comments below, I'd sum it up in one go, No Porsche owner has ever said, "I'd rather a Volkswagen, BMW or Tesla instead"

Thanks for the braking test. I think strong braking ability is as important as acceleration.

[shanghaimanhu]

Love ur channel paul, highly recommend reviewing the Mercedes gls63s 2022 as it’s getting more popular on Aussie roads, keep up with the post❤

[operandexpanse]

All Porches just look great and they always have the power and handling to back up the look. The only SUV I am willing to consider buying.

[rodhengstberger]

No mention about all the piano black like you usually do when reviewing other vehicles.

[EmberEchoStudio]

Watching the video now! Hello from Spain 🇪🇸

[markchesterfield]

Thanks for another great review Paul. It's a great car but at ~$122k as tested, it's hardly cheap... Could you share with us the name of the app you use for the 0-100 and braking tests?

[jeremybean-hodges]

Paul: So, what have we got to test drive today?
Admin staff: There's a nice new mid-spec Toyota Yaris.
Paul: Sorry, what's that?
Admin: Toyota Yaris.
Paul: Huh?
Admin: TOYOTA YARIS.
Paul: What?
Admin: *sighs* Porsche Macan.
Paul: Oh, ok then. If I must.

The hidden 12V outlet is a powered one for using the Porsche battery tender that you can buy for $350 bucks or so...which is a rebranded CTEK that you can get for nearly half that.

Basically all Porsches have one stowed away somewhere that isn't visible normally.

[brainsmatterpodcast]

I think it looks dated, but good. But that's the same as what I'd say for the 911 as well.

One other suggestion Paul, one thing I find frustrating (especially for country drives) are cars that don't have a spare or have that horrible tyre good. Maybe a rating system for cars you review along the lines of:

A+ - full sized spare with an alloy wheel
A - full sized spare with a steel wheel
B - spare tyre, not full sized (eg. 15" instead of a 17" on all four wheels)
C - Space Saver Spare
D - Run flat tyres
F - No spare tyre / tyre goo

Thanks for the braking test. I think strong braking ability is as important as
