The very first of many refreshed Porsche Macans has been completed, and it's Mamba Green Metallic. This fresh Macan was completed for a Chinese customer, adding his to the more than 100,000 sold in the country since its Chinese launch in 2014. Production is ramping up in Leipzig rapidly.

New Macan Premiers In Shanghai With Updated Body, Interior
Porsche's new Macan looks more or less like the old Macan. A minor facelifted mid-cycle refresh was launched earlier today in Shanghai, and represents an update of the model that has been on sale since 2014. With some minor aesthetic changes, including headlights and taillights, the Macan is brought into the current Porsche visual lineup to more …

I respect a deeply focused tool. The Land Rover Defender remained very true to its original intent right through the end of production. Wranglers only began attempting to be comfortable relatively recently. If the sort of sport you prefer frequently takes you miles off the beaten path, having the correct vehicle is key. But with that comes …

Porsche has expanded their Leipzig plant four times already to make room for additional production, and are set to break ground on a fifth expansion since the factory was opened in 2002. The Saxony-based Porsche Werks was built to facilitate the production of Porsche's Cayenne, and the limited Carrera GT. When Porsche announced the Panamera, they …

The singular tenet of my passion for the Porsche brand is rooted in the fact that, traditionally, enthusiasts have truly used their Porsches. While there are some who would hide them away as private jewels in a vault, many prefer to get out and flog their Porsches as often as humanly possible. The Macan, since its inception, has been truly built to …

Porsche is in the process of investing 3-billion Euros in their electric future, so it would only make sense that they are interested in getting in on the electric CUV market by building a Macan-shaped Mission E. Based on what we know about Porsche, we're confident that "Mission E" is more than just a single model, it's a way of thinking, a …

Late last week Porsche quietly issued a voluntary recall of 51,497 Macan, Macan S, Macan GTS, and Macan Turbo models in the U.S. The Macans in question are those manufactured from March 4, 2014 to April 14, 2017 (so pretty much the entire production run to date). Utilizing the sales figures provided by PCNA, and published here on FLATSIXES.com, we …

We've driven pretty much all the Porsche Macan models by now. Heck, we even got to take a Macan GTS up Pikes Peak on a lead/follow expedition with Jeff Zwart. However, to-date, we have yet to drive the 2017 base model Macan. Introduced to the U.S. last year in New York, Porsches smallest, and least expensive, SUV comes equipped with a 2.0 …

On my daily commute, I often take my Macan on a route through scenic Valley Forge National Historic Park, known especially for two things – the harsh winter encampment of the Continental Army led by George Washington during the American Revolutionary War, and an overpopulation of white-tailed deer. Deer are, unfortunately, accustomed to the …
Continue to the full articleUnintended Oversteer: Porsche Macan Anti-Roll Bar Recall
Porsches have a reputation for tail-happy behavior. Of course that reputation is largely thanks to the rear-engined placement in their sports cars and under skilled or over-confident drivers. By contrast, Porsche's SUVs have proven swift, stable and very predictable handlers. A recent recall announcement shows that some Macans are affected by an …
