Porsche Australia has given the Macan mid-size SUV an update, with pricing increasing by up to $3200 in exchange for additional standard specification.

The Macan’s unnamed entry-level variant has risen $2500, to $84,300 plus on-road costs, while its mid-range S and GTS versions have jumped $2600, to $100,800 and $112,300 respectively.

Meanwhile, the Macan’s flagship Turbo variant has copped the largest increase, up $3200 to $145,200.

That said, buyers are compensated with the addition of blind-spot monitoring and keyless entry and start for MY21. Standard specification otherwise carries over.

For reference, the unnamed entry-level version is powered by a 185kW/370Nm 2.0-litre single-turbo four-cylinder petrol engine, while the S uses a 260kW/480Nm 3.0-litre single-turbo V6 petrol unit.

The GTS and Turbo feature the same 2.9-litre twin-turbo V8 petrol engine, albeit in two states of tune: 280kW/520Nm and 324kW/550Nm respectively.

No matter the variant, the BMW X3 and Mercedes-Benz GLC rival pairs a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission with an all-wheel-drive system.

Justin’s dad chose to miss his birth because he wanted to watch Peter Brock hopefully win Bathurst, so it figures Justin grew up to have a car obsession, too – and don’t worry, his dad did turn up in time after some stern words from his mum. That said, despite loving cars and writing, Justin chose to pursue career paths that didn’t lend themselves to automotive journalism, before eventually ending up working as a computer technician. But that car itch just couldn’t be scratched by his chipped Volkswagen Golf R (Mk7), so he finally decided to give into the inevitable and study a Master of Journalism at the same time. And even with the long odds, Justin was lucky enough to land a full-time job as a motoring journalist soon after graduating and the rest, as they say, is history. These days, Justin happily finds himself working at CarsGuide during the biggest period of change yet for the automotive industry, which is perhaps the most exciting part of all. In case you’re wondering, Justin begrudgingly sold the Golf R (sans chip) and still has plans to buy his dream car, an E46 BMW M3 coupe (manual, of course), but he is in desperate need of a second car space – or maybe a third.
