Safety.
Bi-Xenon main headlights including
Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS).
The Bi-Xenon main headlights feature
automatic and dynamic range control,
which provides uniform illumination of the
road whether dipped or main beam is
selected. The dynamic cornering light
function swivels the headlights towards
the inside of a bend based on the
steering angle and road speed. The
static cornering lights activate the
auxiliary headlights in order to illuminate
more of the road at tight bends and
turns. Put simply, a greater part of the
road ahead is illuminated the moment
you enter a bend. In addition, PDLS adjusts the range of
the dipped beams at higher speeds. An
adverse weather function reduces the
effect of reflection phenomena in poor
visibility conditions.
Standard in the Macan
Turbo. Optional for
all other Macan models.
Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus
(P D L S+).
Optional PDLS+ offers t wo additional
functions. The dynamic main beam
feature adapts the headlight range to
oncoming traffic and to traffic in front.
Whenever you approach an intersection,
the Intersection Assistant activates the
static cornering lights on the left and right to widen the light cone. This
provides better illumination in the area
immediately around the vehicle, and you
see what ’s going on around you all the
sooner.
Optional for all Macan models.
Daytime running lights.
Daytime running lights are standard on all
models. On cars with halogen headlights,
this function is implemented by the inner
headlight. On cars with Bi-Xenon main
headlights, the stunning light source is
four LED spotlights in each headlight. The
benefit is clear. If other road users can
see you bet ter, day time driving becomes
a safer experience.

Taillights.
The three-dimensional design of the LED
taillights pays homage to the 918 Spyder
super sports car and lends an impressive
appearance of depth. At the same time,
they are especially responsive and
powerful – and that means added safet y.
In the event of panic braking, the
adaptive LED brake lights begin to
pulsate, alerting following traffic more
quickly to a critical situation. The third
brake light is integrated into the roof
spoiler.

You aren’t usually so quick to brake.
Brakes.
At Porsche, we also set ourselves high
standards for braking performance. So it
goes without saying that our brake
systems are super-sized and adapted to
the high power output of the engine.
At the front, the Macan models are
equipped with six-piston aluminium
monobloc fixed brake calipers. The brake
discs are internally vented for consistently
high braking power, even during
continuous use.
To cope with the performance capabilit y
of the Macan models, the brake discs
fit ted to the front axle are up to 360 mm
in diameter. The brake calipers of the Macan S Diesel
and Macan S are silver- coloured. On the
Macan Turbo – red.
Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake
(PCCB).
As an option, you can have your Macan
equipped with the track-proven Porsche
Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB).
The cross- drilled ceramic brake discs
have a diameter of 396 mm at the front
axle and a thickness of 38 mm. At the
rear, they are 370 mm in diameter and
30 mm thick.
Their low thermal expansion prevents
deformation under heavy braking.
Furthermore, the ceramic brake discs are
totally resistant to corrosion and offer more favourable noise-damping
properties.
The key advantage is that the brake
discs are approximately 50
% lighter than
standard discs of similar design and size.
Enhanced performance and fuel economy
are not the only noticeable benefits:
above all, it represents a major reduction
in unsprung and rotating masses. The
results are improved handling, bet ter
roadholding and increased ride comfort.
Optional for all Macan models.
Porsche Stability Management (PSM).
PSM is an electronic control system that
maintains stability – and increases
driving safet y – even at the limits of
sporty performance. Sensors continuously monitor driving
direction, speed, yaw velocit y and lateral
acceleration. PSM
actively intervenes to
stabilise the vehicle when necessary by
strategically applying the brakes at
individual wheels. That ’s not all. If the
driver suddenly releases the accelerator
pedal, PSM primes the brake system for
a higher state of readiness. Maximum
braking power is therefore achieved
much sooner. The integral anti-lock
braking system (ABS) is optimised for
short braking distances.
Standard in all Macan models.

Airbags.
All Macan models are equipped, as
standard, with full-size airbags for the
driver and front passenger. These are
supplemented by the Porsche Side
Impact Protection System (POSIP).
It comprises side airbags in the front
seats, curtain airbags along the entire
roof frame and the side windows from
the A-pillar to the C-pillar, and side
impact protection elements in the doors.
Side airbags are available as an option
for the rear compartment.
Two auxiliary sensors in the bumper help
to detect frontal collisions. A cluster of
acceleration and yaw rate sensors
detects a threat of rollover and triggers
the curtain airbags and seat belt
pretensioners.
Engineered body design.
The use of ultra- and super-high-strength
steels makes a crucial contribution to
safet y and, at the same time, purposefully
encapsulates the principle of lightweight
construction.
The forces exerted in the event of a
frontal impact are dispersed by a system
of longitudinal and transverse members.
Reinforcements in ultra-high-strength
steel provide additional protection for
occupants in the event of a side impact.
The concept also sees the use of
multiphase steels. High strength and
clearly defined deformability are two
qualities that they have in common. The
passenger cell is a cage formed of high-
tech steels and offers a considerable
level of protection.

Efficiency.
The basic premise of any Porsche is
power. It ’s been that way ever since
1948. But there has always been another
principle: efficiency. Again, since 1948.
We remain commit ted to both, and we
always will.
In addition to our pursuit of efficient
engine technologies, such as the
turbochargers used across the model
range, we routinely rely on innovative,
lightweight materials, we are constantly
developing our production techniques
and functionalities and, as we do so, we
are continuously refining our concepts.
How does this benefit you as the driver?
Greater agilit y with increased dynamic
performance – and lower fuel
consumption. Now that’s efficiency.
Exhaust emissions.
The Macan once again demonstrates that
even high-performance sports cars can
achieve comparatively moderate
emission values. The state-of-the-art
engines of the Macan model range reach
their optimum operating temperature
soon after start-up, thanks to the rapid
heating of the catalytic converter
system. Emissions are thereby reduced,
while t yres optimised for low rolling
resistance play their part by lowering fuel
consumption. All models in the Macan
range fulfil the Euro 6 emission standard.
The petrol models are equipped with
stereo Lambda control circuits. These
are used by the electronic engine
management system to determine the
optimum amount of fuel for effective
emission control.

Living for today, in the here and now.
But always caring about tomorrow.

Environment.
Emission control in the Macan S Diesel is
realised by the interaction of a diesel
particulate filter and the SCR system.
AdBlue
® technology helps to achieve a
significant reduction in nitrogen oxide
emissions.
Fuel and fuel consumption.
Doing more with comparatively less –
another philosophy that the Macan
models live and breathe. The petrol
models are designed to operate on fuels
with an ethanol content of up to 10%.
Ethanol has a positive impact on the CO
2
balance because this biofuel is
manufactured from plants, which absorb
CO
2 from the atmosphere in order to
grow.
For fuel consumption, CO
2 emissions and efficiency class, please refer to pages 126–127.

Fuel system.
In the petrol models, even the emissions
of the fuel system itself are minimised
for the protection of the environment.
Evaporative emissions are significantly
reduced by the returnless supply system.
Vapour-carrying lines are made from
multi-layered plastic, while a high- capacit y
active carbon filter and the fuel tank also
feature a multi-layered construction in
order to make every thing as impermeable
as possible.
Noise reduction.
The characteristic Porsche sound may
drive our passion, but acoustics is yet
another area in which we continuously
strive for optimisation.
Stiff components and light weight,
temperature-stable materials minimise
play bet ween parts and therefore
mechanical noise. Voluminous silencers
and air induction systems reduce noise
levels further – and that ’s over the
course of the entire service life. In collaboration with t yre manufacturers,
we are managing to reduce the rolling
noise of t yres, while aerodynamic
refinements keep wind noise as low as
possible. What ’s left? The Porsche sound,
pure and simple.
Servicing.
Long-life and hard-wearing materials
reduce maintenance items to a minimum.
At the time of an oil filter change, for
example, only the recycling-friendly
paper insert needs to be exchanged and
not the entire housing.
Moving parts are adjusted automatically,
e.g. by hydraulic valve clearance
compensation.
The use of individual ignition coils in
petrol engines makes the entire ignition
system, except for the spark plugs, wear-
and maintenance-free. Advantage for
you? If it doesn’t need replacing, it
doesn’t need to be disposed of. Not only
does this support the responsible
handling of resources and a caring
at titude towards the environment, it
saves you time and money.
The maintenance intervals of the Macan
models nevertheless depend on various
factors, including the local fuel grade.
For exact information, please refer to the
price list published in your country or
consult your Porsche Centre.
Materials and recycling.
A Porsche is a source of long-lasting
pleasure for our customers and a
refreshing change for their environment.
This Porsche principle can be summed
up in one word: sustainability.
Here’s just one example: the exhaust
system of the Macan models is made
from extremely corrosion-resistant
stainless steel – and purposefully
manufactured on the principles of
lightweight construction. In addition, our cars are free from CFCs and parts
manufactured with the use of CFCs. In
all, they are over 95
% recoverable.
Naturally, all statutory recycling
requirements are fulfilled. The labelling of
materials facilitates future sorting for
excellent recycling.
On the subject of recycling, there is
plent y of time before it is even needed.
Two -thirds of all Porsche cars ever built
are still being driven today. What bet ter
way to conserve resources?
For fuel consumption, CO
2 emissions and efficiency class, please refer to pages 126–127.

Life is about challenges:
what we want from life – and what everyday life wants from us.
So it’s nice to be prepared for every eventuality.

Interior architecture.
Five doors. Five seats. Excellent everyday
practicality
– and an elevated seating
position. That ’s what you can expect of
an SUV. Now let ’s consider what you
can expect of a Porsche: sports car
sensations.
You get in – and find the ignition lock on
the left. It ’s t ypically Porsche, and has
been since 1948. An old motorsport
tradition.
The interior architecture integrates you
perfectly into the vehicle. This is
exemplified by the three-dimensional
arrangement of the controls and the
ascending centre console with control
but tons for the most important comfort
functions. The layout emulates that of
the Carrera GT – it ’s as if you’re sit ting
in a sports car. The Macan is the first ever Porsche to be
equipped with the multifunction sports
steering wheel with 918 Spyder design.
Its appearance is futuristic and its design
highly ergonomic. Gearshift paddles as
well as multifunction but tons for
telephone, radio and on-board computer
offer high levels of user comfort.
Steering wheel heating is available as an
option.
Sports car genes are also inherent in the
three round instruments. The rev counter
is positioned in the centre, exactly where
it belongs in a sports car. In this way,
you can see all the essentials at a glance
when you’re on the move – and keep up
to speed with all relevant information.
Lean back? Yes.

Put your feet up? No.

ergonomically arranged for the speedy
control of desired functions. Practicalit y is also assured by storage
solutions in the front and rear doors.
Even large bot tles are accommodated.
The large luggage compartment offers
a loading capacit y of 500 litres. The
rear bench seat has a split-folding ratio
of 40 : 20 : 40. With the seats fully
folded, available capacity increases to
1,5 0 0 l i tr e s .
The use of exquisite materials such as
leather brings exclusivit y to ordinary life.
The standard specification includes a
leather steering wheel rim and seat
centres in Alcantara – in the Macan Turbo,
the adaptive Sports seats with 18-way
adjustment are completely upholstered
in leather. On request, you can refine
even more interior features of your
Macan with leather, wood, carbon or
aluminium.
