Is the new Porsche Macan T now the sweet spot in the range? Read our review to find out 👀
I had afternoon 'T' in Surrey yesterday. Not the tea and scones kind, the Porsche kind. Because it was the UK launch of the new Porsche Macan T. Until now, that letter has been the preserve of 911s and 718s, but now it’s found its way onto the rump of Porsche’s littlest SUV – a car not long for this world, with the next generation of electric Macan being readied in the wings. As we’ve seen the ingredients before, you've probably got a good idea of what to expect here.
The first this to say is that spending another £1,044 on air suspension would appear to be pointless. If you’re expecting a Macan with steel springs and a lower ride height to ride like an arthritic donkey with no saddle, it doesn’t. It rides very well, actually.
But there's the crucial distinction: ‘at seven-tenths’. Because if you really start to press on – leaning on the brakes a bit more or carrying just a touch more speed into corners – the Macan T disappoints. I’ll point out before I get stuck into why that is, this was a hot day. 30-degrees ambient, so the sun-baked tarmac would’ve been considerably hotter.
