Macan principle28 | Life, intensified
For fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and efficiency class, please refer to pages 126–127.
Fitted as standard, 7-speed Porsche
Doppelkupplung (PDK) lets you experience
motorspor t-st yle gear changes, which
take place in milliseconds and with no
interruption in the flow of power. The
system also features a coasting mode,
which reduces fuel consumption and
emissions where the driving situation
allows. To this end, the auto start /stop
function, intelligent thermal management
and many more efficiency-enhancing
measures make a decisive contribution.
The steel spring suspension, fit ted as
standard, helps to provide the driving
precision and performance t ypical of any
Porsche. As an option (standard in the
Macan Turbo), it can be upgraded to
include optional Porsche Active
Suspension Management (PASM). At the
push of a but ton, the shock absorbers
respond even more precisely to the
current driving st yle. An air suspension is
available for even greater dynamic
performance and a high level of ride
comfort. With this suspension, the Macan
sits 15 mm lower. The three-position
ride-height adjustment capability enables you to adapt it optimally to the driving
situation.
Optional Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus
(PT V Plus) lets you feel the Macan
principle in every corner – and in a
particularly intense way. Operating in
conjunction with an electronically
controlled rear differential lock, the
system works by varying the torque
distribution to the rear wheels and
thereby significantly further improves
handling and steering precision. It also
increases the agilit y of the car when it
attacks the corner.
Naturally, active safet y also follows the
Macan principle – and, in doing so, fulfils
the requirements of a sports car.
Integrated as standard, Porsche Stability
Management (PSM) helps to ensure
stabilit y at the limits of sport y
performance. Typically Porsche, the
brakes set standards for deceleration.
Optional driver assistance systems
relieve your workload so that you can
have more fun. Adaptive cruise control including Porsche Active Safe (PAS)
regulates the speed of your vehicle in
line with the speed of the vehicle in
front. Lane Change Assist monitors your
blind spots, while Lane Keeping Assist
monitors your car’s distance to divider
line markings on the road.
Intensive living can also be measured in
bits and by tes, with Porsche Car
Connect for instance. Available as an
option, our comprehensive packages of
remote and PV TS (Porsche Vehicle
Tracking System) services provide you
with all the important information about
your Macan – not only when you’re
behind the wheel. Other digital
functionalities of the Macan include the
abilit y to log into social net works or
search for a Point of Interest and then
select it directly as your navigation
destination. Being highly net worked –
that, too, can be the principle of a
s p o r t s c a r.
So you see: for us, staying true to one’s
principles is essential. The principle of
power above all.
