2023 Porsche Macan vs 2023 Porsche Macan S

Serving Milwaukee, WI

At Porsche Milwaukee North, crossover SUV shoppers are often drawn to the athletic styling and high-powered performance of the Macan. The compact Macan crossover has long been a preferred option among elite drivers, and its appeal grows in 2023 with the introduction of adaptive cruise control as standard equipment for all trims. Four trims are available for you to choose from, including the base Macan and the mid-level Macan S. How do these trims rate in a direct comparison?

Performance

If you opt for the 2023 Porsche Macan, your crossover will have a turbocharged 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine that produces 261 horsepower under its hood. The Macan S puts out 375 horsepower from its V6, twin-turbo 2.9-liter engine. This trim also adds larger, 14-inch vented brakes in the front and a sport drive mode. Regardless of the Macan trim selected, this crossover benefits from all-wheel drive, paddle shifters, and a dual-clutch, seven-speed automatic transmission.

Appearance

The bold design of the Macan holds steady across both of these trim levels, but there is a minor difference in exterior equipment. The base 2023 Macan has adaptive LED headlights, heated and power-folding side mirrors, a power liftgate, rain-sensing wipers, and 19-inch wheels with all-season tires. The Macan S builds on this with 20-inch gray wheels. Overall, the Porsche Macan model is a standout with its large, black grille that wraps smoothly around the nose. It is accompanied by a tapered, smooth hood and teardrop-like headlights. A thick block of molding runs through the side doors. The Macan also displays a tapered roofline with a sharp descent through the rear window.

Features

The 2023 Macan is smartly outfitted at the base level with keyless entry, partial leather seats with cloth inserts, heated front seats, a three-zone climate management system, a 10-speaker sound system, wireless Apple CarPlay, a navigation system, a 10.9-inch display screen, USB-C charging ports, parking sensors, lane departure, and forward collision avoidance. The Macan S offers all of these features, but its partial leather seats have simulated suede inserts.
