Porsche Macan : Welcome the Baby!

Porsche has always been famous for its sheer performance cars and top notch quality.A brand owned by Audi,Porsche has presented it new model in the town,Macan.Based on the design of Audi Q5,Macan is a solid built crossover.

On the first look you might misjudge Macan as Cayenne,but a closer detailed looks reveals that it is the baby Cayenne.Porsche has always promoted Cayenne as a big SUV,and it has no small car in the crossover segment,ergo Macan was brought into picture.

There’ll be three Macans at launch, all which come with a seven-speed PDK ‘box as standard. All are four-wheel drive, a rear-biased system that varies torque across the back axle, and if that doesn’t work, can shunt up to 100 per cent of grunt to the front wheels.An added feature in every Macan is the sport button,which shoots up the engine rev and also an off-road button,needed during the uneven terrain(You might need to switch it on all the time for Indian roads,LOL jk)

Macan can be considered as a very strategic step from the Porsche managers,considering its size,price and placement in its entire range of beasts,It sits at the bottom of the range,attracting entry level Porsche enthusiast,and of course the ones who are willing to spend quite a lot of bucks on an entry level crossover,than on a mid-level sedan.So,how well this move goes down the throat of Porsche enthusiasts and the experts and critics,only time will tell.
