Macan design22 | Life, intensified
True beauty is more than just skin deep.

Interior design.
As a creator of sports cars, we know
that driver and car must form a single
entit y. As such, you do not simply sit in
the Macan – the ergonomic architecture
integrates you into the vehicle. The three-
dimensional arrangement of the controls
lends the interior a cockpit-st yle layout.
In t ypical Macan fashion, the sport y front
seats convey a sense of height above the
road without any loss of intimacy with it.
The essentials are seen at a glance.
The instrument panel has a three-tube
design. Three tubes – just like in a
classic sports car. Also in view is the centrally positioned rev counter. To the
right is the 4.8-inch colour screen, which,
among other things, displays information
from the on-board computer.

Thanks to the ascending centre console
– a t ypical feature of a sports car – you
don’t have very far to reach from the
steering wheel to the PDK gear selector
and most important vehicle functions.
The ignition lock, as ever, is on the left
– typically Porsche.

Interior in Black with brushed aluminium decor
The multifunction three-spoke sports
steering wheel is inspired by the design
of the 918 Spyder – and an established
motorsport principle: keep your hands
on the wheel. Two manually operated
and ergonomically positioned gearshift
paddles enable fast and sport y gear
changes.

Sound and navigation systems follow the
ergonomics philosophy. Equipped with a
high-resolution colour touchscreen, they
offer intuitive ease of use.
With the versatile three-way split-folding
rear bench seat – ratio 40 : 20 : 40 – you
can adapt the Macan perfectly to your
needs. On the subject of customisation, you can
make the interior even more individual,
thanks to a diverse selection of options.
The palet te of materials and decors
ranges from classic to sport y. For an
exclusive ambience, you could have the
interior of your Macan lined in leather in
various ways or have the decor refined
with the elegant wood dark walnut.

For a theme that places the emphasis
on sport, choose carbon or brushed
aluminium. However you personalise the
interior of the Macan, remember one
thing: there are no limits.

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.

Transmission50 | Dynamics
The love of the road
inspires some remarkably intense relationships.

Transmission.
Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK).
7-speed PDK, fit ted as standard in the
Macan models and featuring both a
manual and an automatic mode, offers
extremely fast gear changes with no
interruption in the flow of power – as well
as excellent driving dynamics and a high
degree of efficiency.
The principle of PDK is that, whenever a
particular gear is engaged, the next gear
is already preselected. As a result, gear
changes take place within milliseconds.
Automatic mode is optimised for fuel
economy. This means that PDK is able to
offer not only a sport y, agile driving feel,
but also increased efficiency. Would you rather change gear manually?

You can do this using the t wo gearshift
paddles on the multifunction sports
steering wheel, fit ted as standard, or
using the PDK gear selector.
In conjunction with the optional Sport
Chrono Package, the shift times of PDK
become even shorter, the gear changes
even sportier. Additional gearshift
strategies are also available – for
uncompromising driving pleasure.
Porsche Traction Management (PTM).
The tremendous dynamic performance
of the Macan is thanks in part to the
Porsche Traction Management (PTM)
active all-wheel drive system. It comprises an electronic and map-controlled

multi-plate clutch, the automatic brake
differential (ABD) and anti-slip regulation
(ASR). The electronically controlled multi-
plate clutch regulates the distribution of
drive force bet ween the rear axle and
the front axle. Driving conditions are
constantly monitored to enable a precise
and lightning-quick response to a variet y
of situations.
Sensors continuously check, among
other variables, the rotation speeds of all
four wheels, the longitudinal and lateral
acceleration of the vehicle, and the
steering angle. If, for example, the rear
wheels threaten to spin under
acceleration, a greater proportion of drive force is distributed to the front by a
more powerful engagement of the multi-
plate clutch. In addition, ASR reduces
wheel slip. In corners, the drive force
sent to the front wheels is regulated for
optimum lateral stability.
In short, PTM transfers the incredible
sportiness of the Macan to the road.
Behind the wheel, you can feel what it ’s
like to be driving a genuine sports car:
traction, driving safety, outstanding
steering behaviour, superior handling
and, of course, the excellent dynamics
t ypical of any Porsche.

Life can’t be truly intense without some twists and turns.
Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus
(PTV Plus).
Sports car makers adore corners. With
our technologies, we are forever fanning
the flames of the relationship. PT V Plus
is an optional system for enhancing both
driving dynamics and stability.
Operating in conjunction with an
electronically regulated rear differential
lock, it works by varying the torque
distribution to the rear wheels. When the
car is driven into a corner, moderate
brake pressure is applied to the inside
rear wheel as the situation demands.
Consequently, a greater amount of drive
force is distributed to the outside rear
wheel, inducing an additional rotational
pulse (yaw movement) around the
vehicle’s vertical axis. The effect is a
direct and sport y steering action. And
considerable driving pleasure at every
t wist and turn. At low and medium vehicle speeds, PT V
Plus significantly increases agilit y and
steering precision. At high speeds on the
straight, and in fast corners where the
wheels threaten to spin, the electronically
controlled rear differential lock provides
added driving stability. Stability is also
improved on road surfaces with varying
grip as well as in the wet and snow.
Optional for all Macan models.
Sport Chrono Package.
The Sport Chrono Package adds a
stopwatch with an analogue and a digital
display to the cockpit. The performance
display in PCM lets you view a range of
driving stats, including your total driving
time, current lap distance and lap times
recorded so far. The lateral and
longitudinal forces acting on the vehicle
are illustrated by the G -Force graphic on
the colour screen in the instrument
c l u s t e r.The centre console also comes equipped
with the SPORT PLUS but ton, which is
used to activate SPORT PLUS mode. In
this mode, the engine becomes even
more responsive and the rev limiter is
adjusted to a harder set ting. Porsche
Traction Management (PTM) is now tuned
for even sportier performance. For cars
with Porsche Active Suspension
Management (PASM), SPORT PLUS mode
results in harder damping and more
direct steering. In addition, the trigger
threshold for PSM is raised for increased
longitudinal and lateral dynamics. The
shift times of PDK, fit ted as standard,
become even shorter, the gear changes
even sportier. The optional air suspension
automatically drops to Low Level. Launch
Control is primed to deliver optimum
acceleration from a standing start.

Optional for all Macan models.

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.

Take the high-resolution 4.8-inch colour
screen in the instrument cluster as an
example. It displays messages from the
on-board computer and – in conjunction
with PCM – shows the map of the
navigation system.
The seats offer racing-st yle support and
a high degree of seating comfort. In cars
with the driver memory package or
comfort memory package, you can store
personalised seat, steering wheel and
exterior mirror settings. Your car will
then adapt automatically to you.
Standard on-board features include two-
zone automatic climate control as well as
remote central locking with remote
closing.
On principle, all controls are
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.
