CAR magazine tests the Porsche Macan T - Porsche's light weight driving focussed SUV
Petrolhead, journalist and traveller. Loves fast old cars and new tech. Deputy editor of sister site, Parkers.co.uk.Porsche insists that the T stands for Touring and harks back to lightweight traditionalism. It first bestowed the letter to the 911 in 1968 and has since stuck it on the back of cars focussed on driver engagement above all else. But personally I think for the Macan T it should just be short for trim level.
The T sits above the base spec car, but below the S and GTS. As standard it receives Porsche’s Sport Chrono Pack while it also gets Stuttgart’s adaptive damping system, so it sits 15mm lower than the regular car. The steering is pure and informative. It’s supremely easy to place on the road and you’ll do extremely well to break traction. It flows naturally and turn in is precise, sharp and with little body roll.
The 0-62 sprint is over in 6.2seconds. In theory, that’s only 1.6seconds slower than a V6 model but in practice it feels sluggish when driven back-to-back. The 2.0-litre doesn’t zing, zang or zoom. The centre console is nicely pared back, with a central housing being split by the gear shifter. Physical switches for the heating too, which is a nice touch.
