The 2019 Macan is The Reason Why Porsche Builds Better Sports Cars 

Good evening guys! The comparison test between the Macan and Stelvio is not actually live yet but it should be going live very soon, stay tuned for that. Hope you all have a great weekend and thanks for watching! :)

The 4 cyl. seems responsive enough for most people except the very die hard enthusiast. One would have to determine if spending thousands more for the 6 cyl. Is really worth it in the U.S. markets where speed limits, even on the highways can be painfully slow. The interior is so much nicer and sportier than in the Q-5. The Q-5 is tuned more for family use as well as it's design cues while the Macan is more sport oriented. I personally like the Macan better than the Q-5 and may get one soon. Good review.

After searching for a new vehicle for my wife, this is what we bought. He's not just talking it up, drive one and the others, you'll see why!

2:35 in the backgroung you can see an Alfa romeo stelvio, Sofyan just spoiled us his porsche replacement daily driver !!

Just bought a 19 Macan S about 2 months ago, great car. Also great review!

Optional Steering Wheel *Extra $740*

First car ever seeing Sofyan reviewing a BASE-MODEL vehicle! Wow!!!

Check the window sticker...the exhaust fart is likely an extra cost option. It IS a Porsche after all.

Nobody seems to make a note of the fact that this is the only model in its class that allows you to adjust temperature, fan speed, and vent selection independently for driver and front passenger for the climate control. That's why there are so many buttons on the center console. I'm pretty sure Audi and BMW only allows you to adjust two of the three, but I could be wrong. I'm pretty sure it's standard on the base Macan.

nodody is talking about the license plate having uwu on it

I always smile when I see you upload a video!

Let’s goo Redline is back.... I love ya guys ❤️

Other brands: "You want your car in white? That'll be $500." Porsche: "You want your car in white? For $500? Well, how about this? I'll paint your key white for that price."

I like that you put the specs up in the beginning

5:59 " The car looks like a key" , you actually meant - the key looks like a car...

Those headlights are bright even on phone.

We found the only person on earth who likes the old taillights better.

My parents just bought one. It’s nice.

Now we know where the 2020 Ford Escape designers got their..."inspiration" from.

Interesting how a Porsche badge can charge so much more. There was a car called Touareg Hybrid, 380 hp, quicker 0-60, 21/23 mpg, more interior room, more cargo room, 7700lbs towing capacity, on the more premium platform of the VW-Audi family, and costs the same when new after dealer premium on the Macan and dealer discounts on the Touareg...

Yes!! I was waiting so long for this!

Go for the S at a minimum. I got a Macan Sport 4 cyl as a loaner and the engine is outclassed by everything else about the car. S engine is excellent, especially with a Cobb Accessport tune and PSE. Smooth, powerful, and sonorous.

Weird when I was just looking for Macan reviews 😂😂😂

Remember "new" for Porsche just means very slightly revised in most instances lol! Dont fix what isnt broke!

Those wheels look terrible on the Porsche configurator, but in this video look really nice.

Great review. I was wondering how the 4 cylinder engine preformed. I hope the roomer is wrong or they change their mind. For EVs to be more accepted, we need to change the infrastructure and have quick charging times that is comparable to filling up at a gas station. It might be short sighted for Porsche to make their top selling SUV into an EV. Maybe better for a hybrid. Yes SUVs have become the main vehicle for traveling. But that is because the price of gas is somewhat low. Once the price of gas teachings $4 a gallon people will get sedans and small cars.

I prefer putting the dollars in upgrading the base model instead of adding horsepower with the “S” model.. The only difference is performance vs comfort and appearance. A bunch of options (larger wheels, keyless entry, leather, 14 way seats etc.) can be purchased for what Porsche charges just to add horsepower that most people won’t use in their daily drive. Remember that paying those extra thousand of dollars only gives you the extra horsepower. Any and all options are additional dollars.

For a 4 cylinder, the sound is surprisingly good.

This car shows the wisdom of buying a sparsely equipped Porsche, one model up. The S with just a few options would come in under this price and have another 100 hp. Admittedly that is a car one would have to order, not merely pick out from dealer stock though.

Thank you for making such a nice informativ videos

License plate ‘uwu’ lol

Best sounding 4 cylinder suv I’ve ever heard 👍

Actually, most 2019 base Macan owners (myself included) find that this vehicle gets 28-30 mpg on the highway (especially with ACC) -- way better than the Macan S gets (low 20s). And the Macan S isn't that much better acceleration-wise than the base Macan, seriously, to warrant the extra expenditure in cost. The base Macan is plenty fast. Better to spend the extra $9k on options like ACC and LCA, or even save money. (Also, FWIW, Porsche recommends not letting the car get over 4000 rpms for the first 2k miles of driving; I see that you have been pushing this loaner car to 5k, 6k, and 7k rpms quite a bit with only around 200 miles on the odometer. That's why I only like to buy new cars.). As for your negative comment about this base Macan not being a "good value", I think you're wrong there, on two counts: (a) I think it's about the best vehicle you can buy for $50k base price (I got mine without the pano roof and paid around $54k after discounts), and (b) Macans are known to hold up value extremely well, for trade-in or re-sale (much better than most other cars in this price range). And, no, Porsche said they will keep the gas version of Macan for some time after introducing both an EV Macan and a PHEV Macan in 2-3 years. And, dude, put some pants on over your pink underwear!

Awesome opening shot 👌

Those gauges look like they are off a 2014 rav4. No idea why anyone would choose those over a volvo or audi.

Those are a LOT of buttons... I feel like it should’ve all been touch screen. Beautiful car!

Entire dash looks from a generation or 2 ago, same as the instrument panel. Looks like they just slapped on that wide screen infotaintment system to make it look current.

Great video! Keep up the great work!

New subscriber - You are my favorite vehicle reviewer. Very awesome. Finally subscribed. You do an excellent job.

Porsche Macan $49,900. With options. $100,000. :P

The fuel economy figures are wrong btw. But it is wierd how the Q5 with almost same power train gets better mpg

Love the power train specs PowerPoint type slide. 👍

Another great review!😎👍🏾

Please use "premium", that premium increases a typical 15K a year cost by $450 (750 gallons x additional 60 cents per gallon) , so does one need to spend additional $40/month for a 248HP vehicle? It's not like people just forget to use premium gas, but they don't like spending extra money for a relatively low HP vehicles. (Of course, diesel vehicle with two times the mpg and price comparable to regular gas would take care of this extra gas expense.)

I like almost everything about Porsche except price. Oh! High prices are actually selling point. People want it because YOU cannot afford it.

Great comprehensive review. Subbed.

Nice SUV! I love the non-LCD odo and tach!

Love the review. I think the hood with those cut out = lawsuits from fingers... somewhere down the line. Lol

Brakes already screaming, Wow!!!!

I understand the reason why Porsche uses Audi’s Q5 engine for the base model but I think they must have added an electric engine to help the car for fuel efficiency and 0-60 time. Especially if they are considering to make next generation Macan all electric.

I was surprised at how much room there is under the hood. Is it possible that this is an easy-to-fix Porsche?

Awesome review!

Macan base model is solid you really can’t go wrong

Great car! You face 18:30 very funny 😂😂😂

Nice but should have way better gas mileage for a high end truck

Great base setup

I got the key colors for free, it is detachable like to plastic pieces on each side of the key.

Im waiting for New 2020 Explorer review. Wondering what you have to say.

So very much hate the key fob. Ridiculous. Love the 11 inch screen even w/o android and yea, very busy. Good in depth review. Liking the new Redline. Thanks.

What sucks about Porsche is the spot that you need to stick the key in! That's so old school.

I think people like the better visibility of SUV’s over sedans. Many new sedans have some darn terrible visibility especially in the rear.

Am I the only one that hears this guys knees clicking when ever he squats down

Sofyan, I believe the fart noises are because the engine in it is the Flatulence 4....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Excellent presentation... will go with the 3.0 model ; )

I think porsche makes on of the best designs on their models with out screwing it up, like the 911 the cayenne etc.

Hi Sofyan, Your reviews are amazing and to the point! I saw you have a WRX CVT review. If possible, could you please do a review for WRX Manual transmission? Thanks.

My gold digger aunt has one and a s class Benz.

How much extra for the car farts? I thought you were going to say "this puts a fart on my face".

So it runs on the VAG MLB AWD platform, with the corporate 2.0T motor, but runs a staggered wheel setup like more traditional Porsches.. hmmm.. I thought back in the day you weren't supposed to run Quattro/synchro cars with staggered wheels, but that was a while ago so I'm guessing this isn't running a torsen center diff

I don’t care that it’s a “base” model, a company like Porsche shouldn’t even offer this or any of its other vehicles with the 2.0T set up from the A4. No reason to get this base model over one of the cheaper VAG models except for the badge.

he man i'm sold on this car very nice

FYI, the map DOES do satellite imagery.

0-60 6.3 sec with248hp AWd 2.0 T why mpg is so low? Should uld be little better on gas.

The base is probably good enough, it's not like the S is "hardcore"

I have a cla amg. When my lease is up I’m getting a macan s 😈🏎

Macan vs Tesla model Y performance. That would be great matchup.

It’s a great car 👍🏻👍🏻

Him: The Porsche Macan is super easy to drive. Me: Laughs in Landscaper road blocks. 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Get the 6 for sure.

Most of people here haven't tried Macan properly and can't even afford one, and say it's bad or like Audi blahhh~~~

I've own a 2018 Mazda mx5, then totalled, then have a 2018 brz, and replaced those two for this macan, boy! I'm a happy kid again, never have i driven in my life so superior and majestic handling as this Porsche, Its the best suv sports car like.

Has anyone noticed the Porsche designlines in the newer Tesla models?

Ha that licenses plate “UWU”

Maybe it is because is am a finance guy - but I can’t figure why anyone would spend the money for one of these. There are many better values in out there

Get a Deagy already, and measure the 0-60 times😊 18:33 Ugh, that brake squeak.

23 mpg highway? It sounds more like 3.0l turbo specs. It's can't be 2.0l turbo. Probably a mistake?

very base macan vs rdx A-Spec what would you chose?

This car doesn’t have the sport chrono package but it has the sport chrono clock on the dash? I Am VERY Confused.

Even 19 wheels look puny.

You couldn't sell the Cayman huh?

The taillights look too big compared to the size of the vehicle

Drivers of such here in Vegas are the ABSOLUTE WORST. Amazing how someone thinks theyre above the law since they lease a Porsche. Amazing video as usual though!

Is it okay to brake load a PDK at launch? There's no torque converter to absorb and release energy.

Not sure why it’s MPG is that bad. Having owned the same engine in a new A5 it’s in the high 20s, low 30s. Heck my new S4 is mid 20s!

I thought this was a Ford Escape until I seen it say Porsche

I think Sofyan said that his own car is the Cayenne. Is that true? Why did Sofyan choose a Cayenne?

14:36 why would anyone smoke in a car that nice?

Funny, for Merc 450 GLA you get little SUV with bigger horsepower in the same engine capacity. Cheaper too.

Hello all, I want to buy one but not sure which year and which trim level I should get. If someone can suggest from their personal experience that will be really appreciated. Thanks.

Great review Sofyan! I have to comment how on every video you do, I just wait for you to crack that knee! I cringe every time I hear it!
