This year's offering is a competent and relatively affordable SUV
A cheap Porsche sport utility vehicle? There is no such thing. But what if we framed the subject as an attainable and relatively well-priced entrée into the exclusive brand? Now that is entirely within the realm of possibility.
Of course, it is not our job to tell you how to spend your money. We are merely impartial chroniclers of what is hot and what is not on the local motoring landscape. A figure of R862,000 is substantial for most, any way you cut it. That is the basic price of the 2019 Porsche Macan, with a three-year Driveplan maintenance contract.Then you consider that this number is well within the ballpark of certain derivatives of the Audi Q5, BMW X3, Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class, Lexus NX and Alfa Romeo Stelvio.
In typical fashion, the aesthetic enhancements of the exterior are subtle and evolutionary in execution. Our metallic white test unit managed to hold its own well when appointed to handling matric dance chauffeur duties, looking tasteful and self-assured alongside a McLaren MP4-12C and Ford Mustang 5.0 coupé.
