The 2022 model year brings a host of significant enhancements and updates to the Porsche Macan. Macan features enhanced styling with a new look to its front end with integrated cooling air intakes and front trim in body color.

The rear -- which features a black diffuser that has been stretched upwards -- stands out compared to the previous version. LED headlights and standard Sport Design exterior mirrors complete the updated appearance. Seven new wheel designs are available, and the standard wheel size has increased to between 19 and 21 inches.

A core attribute of the Macan appeal is its emphasis on performance. All 2022 models feature a standard 7-speed dual clutch PDK transmission, all-wheel drive, and powertrains that are more powerful than those of their predecessors. The Macan range begins with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that now delivers 261 horsepower and 295 lb.-ft. of torque -- an increase of 13 hp and 22 lb.-ft. compared to the 2021 model it replaces.

The Macan S is also equipped with a more powerful engine for the 2022 model year. Generating 375 hp and 383 lb.-ft. of torque, the 2.9-liter twin-turbo V6 now sits under the hood of the latest S model, with 60 mph reached from standstill in 4.4 seconds with the optional Sport Chrono Package.

Representing the new top model of the 2022 Macan range is the GTS variant. Fitted with a 434 hp version of the 2.9-liter twin-turbo V6 generating 406 lb.-ft. of torque used in the previous Macan Turbo, it sprints from 0-to-60 mph with optional Sport Chrono Package in 4.1 seconds. Befitting its status as the top performer in the range, the Macan GTS is fitted with Porsche Surface Coated Brakes with red calipers and adaptive air suspension with 10 mm lower ride height as standard. The suspension of the Macan GTS is up to 15 percent stiffer than before, further reducing body roll.
