If you want to sit behind the wheel of Porsche’s new compact SUV, the just announced Macan, you’ll have to spend at least $50,895 when it hits the brand’s U.S. showrooms in spring next year.
According to an Edmunds report, that price will get you into the base “S” version powered by a 3.0 liter V6 twin turbo engine that delivers 335PS (340PS) and accelerates the SUV from 0 to 60 mph in 5.2 seconds or 5.0 seconds with the optional Sport Chrono package.
Your only other option in the States (other markets will get a frugal 255hp 3.0-liter V6 turbo diesel) is the top-of-the line Macan Turbo starting at $73,295, which comes with a 3.6 liter V6 twin turbo engine churning out 395hp (400PS) for a zero to 60 mph (96km/h) sprint of 4.6 seconds or 4.4 seconds with Sport Chrono package.
Both versions come with standard active all-wheel drive and the Porsche PDK double-clutch transmission.
