Porsche Macan Review, For Sale, Colours, Interior & News in Australia

Best Medium SUV Under $130K Finalist

Porsche Macan Review, For Sale, Colours, Interior & News in Australia

FROM $95,100

Porsche shored up its future by building and selling its first SUV, the Cayenne, which was a departure from its usual range of traditional sports cars.

The company then capitalised on the SUV explosion by offering a smaller SUV called the Macan. With its first generation based on a heavily reworked version of the same platform that underpins the Audi Q5, the Macan offers a wide array of engines including a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder, a 3.0-litre and 3.6-litre V6, as well as a twin turbo-diesel.

Current prices range from $95,100 to $187,600 for the Macan (base) and Macan Electric Turbo.

No matter what engine, all Macans are equipped with all-wheel drive and a seven-speed dual-clutch (PDK in Porsche's language) gearbox.

Porsche Macan FAQs

How much does the Porsche Macan cost to maintain?

You’d think this would be a fairly simple question to answer, but in reality, it’s far from it. It seems neither BMW nor Porsche offer what we know as fixed or capped price servicing, that is; a known price that the service will cost, paid when you need to have it carried out. This is not uncommon with prestige brands and reflects the changing costs of imported service parts as well as different marketing approaches.

BMW, however, comes closest to this concept with what it calls its Service Inclusive Basic Plan which requires the car’s buyer to pay up front, typically for the first five years, of servicing when the car is purchased. That sounds odd, but it makes sense to buyers leasing their cars as the service costs are then paid for as part of the financing package.

In the case of the BMW X4, this package, which covers consumables such as filters, oil, spark plugs and brake fluid (but not clutches, brake pads and windscreen wipers; that’s another step up to the Service Inclusive Plus Plan) lasts for five years or 80,000km (whichever comes first) and works out to an average of $350 per service or a total of $1750 over the plan’s duration. Fundamentally, it’s like other car-makers’ capped-price servicing but you pay up front for it.

Meanwhile, at Porsche, the servicing costs for a Macan over the same 80,000km/five-year period will depend on what state you live in as labour rates vary from state to state. Since you’re from NSW, I’ll use the data from that state. As such, the Macan will need an annual service at one-year/15,000km costing $695. The next service at two years/30,000km is an intermediate service at $995, followed by another annual service at three years/45,000km ($695 again). The four-year/60,000km service is a major one costing $1750, followed by the five- year/75,000km service at $695 to end with. In total, that’s a grand total of $4830, making the Porsche by far the most expensive car to service for those first five years.
