Design and equipment elements exclusive to this model emphasise the independent identity of the Macan T, as well as its positioning in the model range. In addition, features that were previously reserved for the Macan S and Macan GTS have been fitted. With the Macan T, Porsche combines this additional equipment into a package with an attractive price.
The exterior of the Macan T is set apart from that of other Macan models with numerous elements emphasised by Agate Grey Metallic paintwork accents. This is true of the front trim panel and of the Sport Design exterior mirrors on the flank with their V-shaped mirror base, as well as of the side blades, which are painted in Agate Grey Metallic with a ‘Macan T’ logo in Black (high-gloss). The Agate Grey Metallic Porsche logo and model designation at the rear are also reserved exclusively for the Macan T. The same applies to the roof spoiler. The Macan T also features Black (high-gloss) sports tailpipes and side window trims as standard. The Macan T comes as standard with 20-inch alloy wheels adopted from the S model; on the Macan T, they are in an exclusive Dark Titanium colour. The powerful appearance is underlined by a ride height that is at least 15 mm lower.
Porsche offers the Macan T in two solid colours, eight metallic paints and the Carmine Red, Crayon and Miami Blue special colours. In addition, the Custom Colour and Paint to Sample programmes are offered by Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur. These open up the option to choose popular colours from Porsche’s history, such as Maritime Blue, Rubystone Red and Mint Green.
Interior with model-specific leather package
The Porsche philosophy of exclusive exterior design continues in the interior, which combines the exclusive highlights of the Macan T with features from higher-positioned model variants. A unique aspect of the Macan T is its interior package, which is based on the Black leather package. The seats, headrests and steering wheel are enhanced by decorative silver stitching, harking back to the contrasting colour used on the exterior. The multifunction GT sports steering wheel, including the mode switch for the Sport Chrono Package – which comes as standard – is also heated and can be specified with carbon trim as an option. The door sill treadplates come in black aluminium and feature a ‘Macan T’ logo.
The interior can be specified with several other leather packages on request, in plain or two-tone versions. In addition, customers can choose from various interior packages, such as Black (high-gloss), brushed aluminium or Carbon. Parts of the interior can also be painted in body colour.
The Macan T comes fitted with eight-way electric sports seats as standard, and, in contrast to the seats in the Macan, these are also heated. The headrests each have an embossed Porsche logo. The seat centres of the front and outer rear seats also feature the Sport-Tex Stripe pattern, a woven fabric with a particularly dynamic appearance.
Centre console with touch-sensitive surfaces and full connectivity
The Macan T offers all the advantages of the current Macan model range, which was extensively revised in the summer of 2021. The newly designed centre console is the main focus of the new features. Here, touch-sensitive surfaces replace conventional switches. Clearly arranged and intuitive control panels are located at the sides of the new selector lever, which has been shortened by 15 mm. Below, there is an open storage compartment, with a larger capacity than in the previous design. Above the console is a 10.9-inch full-HD touchscreen display – the heart of the Porsche Communication Management (PCM) system.
The Macan offers full connectivity via the PCM and therefore has a permanent mobile network connection. Online navigation is standard, as are voice control, remote services and Apple CarPlay. If the corresponding option is fitted to the vehicle, smartphones can be inductively charged in the storage compartment under the centre armrest.
My Porsche app bundles functions
Porsche has revamped its digital services for smartphones and combined the functions for multiple apps: the My Porsche app will be customers’ central interface with the car and brand. It will take over the functions of My Porsche Essentials, Connect App and Car Connect App. Over the coming months, additional apps such as the Porsche Charging and Porsche - Good to know apps will also be integrated. Combining the full range of services and information in a single app will simplify use for customers and create a practical point of access to the digital world of Porsche thanks to a modern user interface. My Porsche will become a versatile tool for every Porsche driver. If there is a connection between the smartphone and the Porsche model, the app displays important vehicle parameters and can be used as a remote control for selected functions. It also supports the driver with contacting the dealer, booking service appointments and with questions about the vehicle.
The My Porsche app is available in 47 countries and 25 languages. The scope of functions can vary depending on the model, model year and country availability. The app can be downloaded for free from the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store and will be continually expanded and optimised.
