Weight saving.
Those who enjoy life are bound to
be more light-hearted than others.
The axles of the Macan models are
characterised by purposeful lightweight
construction with the use of lighter,
more stable materials. The results are
excellent driving dynamics, a high degree
of comfort and low fuel consumption.
Suspension tuning.
The suspension is tuned for sport y per -
formance by default – t ypically Porsche.
With a series of optional systems ranging
from uncompromisingly sporty to sporty-
comfortable, you can adapt the suspen -
sion tuning of the Macan perfectly to
your needs.
Air suspension.
For a high level of comfort and
tremendous dynamic performance, you
have the option of an air suspension
including PASM. With this set-up, the car
is 15 mm lower than with the steel spring
suspension. The effect? Improved
aerodynamics. The self-levelling function
helps to keep the ride height constant.
A ride-height adjustment capability
enables you to switch the ground
clearance to three levels: Terrain Level,
Normal Level and Low Level. At Terrain
Level, the car is 40 mm above Normal
Level; at Low Level, 10 mm below it.
Loading Level is especially practical:
from Normal Level, the rear end of the
body lowers 40 mm to make it easier
to load the car. This function is operated
by means of a but ton in the luggage
compartment.
Optional for all Macan models.
Steel spring suspension.
The steel spring suspension is
standard in all Macan models. Not only
does
it fulfil exacting requirements
for performance and driving pleasure,
it contributes to enhanced driving
dynamics, lower fuel consumption and
increased ride comfort.
The steel spring suspension in the
Macan Turbo is additionally equipped
with Porsche Active Suspension
Management (PASM).
Porsche Active Suspension
Management (PASM).
PASM is an electronic damping control
system. It actively and continuously
adjusts damping force based on current
road conditions and driving st yle. When a car is driven off-road or
assertively in a manner that demands
hard acceleration and braking, the forces
acting on the car will normally induce
perceptible body movements. PASM
intervenes in these situations to reduce
them. You can select from three modes:
‘Comfort ’, ‘SPORT’ and ‘SPORT PLUS’.
PASM is permanently active, adapting
automatically to the current driving
situation with the aim of increasing
driving stability and comfort.
Standard in Macan
Turbo. Optional for all
other Macan models.
How should such intensity be brought to the road?
Our engineers have some specific ideas.

As if you’d ever get cold feet.
Two-zone automatic climate control.
The Macan models are equipped, as
standard, with automatic climate control
featuring separate temperature and air
flow set tings for driver and front
passenger as well as an automatic air-
recirculation mode including air quality
and humidit y sensor. Its active carbon
filter traps particles, pollen and odours.
Standard in all Macan models.
Three-zone automatic climate control.
Three-zone automatic climate control
provides separate air conditioning in the
rear compartment – and a cooling
function for the glove compartment. Air
conditioning settings in the rear
compartment are infinitely variable.
Optional for all Macan models.
Privacy glazing.
The dark-tinted privacy glazing provides
additional privacy in the rear
compartment.
Optional for all Macan models.
Thermally/noise insulated glass.
As standard, all Macan models are
equipped with tinted thermally insulated
glass. All models also feature a grey top-
tint on the windscreen.
Optional: thermally and noise insulated
laminated glass for all round more
efficient reflection of infrared radiation.
Enjoy an even more pleasant climate and
peace and quiet in the passenger
compartment.The thermally/noise insulated glazing
also comes with tinted glass at the rear
as with privacy glazing.
