2022 Porsche Macan: what is it?
The Porsche Macan midsize SUV is being checked in for its midlife facelift, which means exterior updates are subtle. There are minor revisions to the front and back, notably the redesigned air intakes at the front which feature one less blade and a more squared off grille.
At the back you’ll see a slightly bigger bumper…and that’s more or less it. It really is a case of looking hard and long to see the changes.
More significant is the interior, which has taken the infotainment screen and centre console from the Porsche Panamera and Cayenne. That means all the many physical buttons found on the outgoing Macan have been replaced by touch-sensitive tiles, and the screen is bigger and sharper. The new interior is a big improvement in terms of how it looks – it’s much less cluttered and busy – but some people might not like the lack of traditional buttons.
2022 Porsche Macan: what is it powered by?
We’re not expecting any changes to be made to the engine line-up, but a fully-electric model is scheduled to arrive in 2022, so the electric powertrain will be launched in the Macan model you’re looking at here.
The electric versions are likely to be many and varied, with power outputs of up to 700bhp, just like the Porsche Taycan range.
There will still be the entry level 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol, as well the 3.0-litre V6. The GTS and Turbo models are expected to use the same twin-turbocharged 2.9-litre V6 engine which produce 375bhp and 435bhp respectively.
2022 Porsche Macan: when will it be on sale?
The new Porsche Macan is expected to debut in the near future, with sales starting before the autumn.
2022 Porsche Macan: how much will it cost?
Porsche has not given any official word on the pricing of the new Porsche Macan, but it is expected to cost a little more than the outgoing model. The Macan range currently starts at £47,000 so it would be reasonable to assume the new model will start at around £49,000.
