Test Drive Report of the New Macan (3rd Generation Base Model)｜Winding Roads & Summary

Testing the New Macan (3rd Generation) on Winding Roads Continuing from the previous article, this is a review of the new Macan (3rd generation). This time, I’m reporting on my impressions when taking the Macan onto winding roads. When you think of the Macan, it’s a very sporty SUV, and calling it merely sporty doesn’t do it justice—it’s a car with the athleticism that makes you want to call it a ‘sports car’. The strong...

Test Drive Report of the New Macan (3rd Generation Base Model)｜City and Highway Review

New Macan (3rd Generation) This time, I borrowed the current new Macan (3rd generation, also called Macan 3 or facelift model) as a loaner for my 991 Carrera 4 GTS, so I’d like to share an honest review after driving it for about a week.

[Test Drive Report] Macan GTS – Understanding the Differences Between Early and Later Models

Recently, the facelifted Macan model was announced, and around the same time, we had the chance to test drive the later version of the Macan GTS (which will eventually be called the mid-cycle model).

The New Macan Event Recently, I attended the new Macan sneak preview event, The new Macan Sneak Preview, held in Osaka. (Sneak preview means a private viewing event.) A friend who owns a Macan invited us, and my husband and I were able to join.
