The Macan is the Porsche for those who crave sports car dynamics in an SUV shell.
Sports car handling in SUV · Turbo engine thrills
Tight rear passenger space · Infotainment feels outdated
The 2026 Porsche Macan is a dynamic blend of sports car DNA and SUV practicality. This isn't just another luxury SUV; it's a Porsche at heart, delivering driving thrills with its turbocharged engine and nimble handling. However, while it shines on winding canyon roads, it falls short on practicality with its tight rear seats and limited cargo space. The infotainment system feels like a relic of years past, missing the mark in an otherwise premium cabin. If you're a driving enthusiast who occasionally needs to lug around gear or friends, the Macan is your ride. But if rear passenger comfort is a priority, keep looking.
Our pick: Macan S ($74,100)
vs. 2026 Mercedes-Benz GLE: The Macan outshines the GLE in driving dynamics and sheer excitement, but the GLE takes the lead in passenger comfort and tech features.
