2 Answers
Porsche's smaller version of the Cayenne is called the Porsche Macan, which is a mid-size SUV. Taking the 2020 Porsche Macan as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4696mm, width 1923mm, height 1624mm, with a wheelbase of 2807mm and a fuel tank capacity of 75 liters. The 2020 Porsche Macan features a double-wishbone independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 2.0L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 252PS, a maximum power of 185kW, and a maximum torque of 370Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
Porsche's smaller version of the Cayenne is called the Macan. I've driven the Macan for several years and feel it's like a scaled-down Cayenne, but more agile and easier to handle. It's much more convenient for parking in the city, not as bulky as the larger Cayenne. I remember it was launched around 2014, positioned as a compact SUV. There are multiple powertrain options available, such as the base 2.0T engine or the higher-end 3.0T V6, delivering impressive acceleration. On the highway, the steering is precise, and the chassis is tuned for comfort, providing good grip even in rainy conditions. People who've driven the Macan often say it carries Porsche's DNA but is significantly more affordable than the Cayenne, making it ideal for someone like me who enjoys luxury cars but prefers a more understated presence. On weekends, the trunk can hold quite a lot of stuff for family outings.
