The 2022 Porsche Macan Is Faster, Smarter, Better Looking
by Jake LingemanReveal
We lost the Turbo trim but who cares? The GTS picks up the slack.
Porsche is continuing the string of updates for its Macan crossover in 2022. As we predicted the Macan Turbo nomenclature is done. The new top model is now the Macan GTS. The lineup drops the 3.0-liter engine for 2022 and gets an updated center console and new interior options. It also gets restyled, slightly, to hold down the stable while the next generation, featuring an EV, gets ramped up for 2023.
We'll start with those engines. As we said the middling, 3.0-liter was dropped. Base Porsche Macan models will start with the company's 2.0-liter turbo-four making 261 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque. Those numbers are 13 hp and 22 lb-ft more than the outgoing model. Porsche says that's good for a 0-60 mph sprint in 5.8 seconds when equipped with the Sport Chrono Package - 0.3 seconds faster than the old one - and a top speed of 144 mph.
