5 Reasons To Buy A Porshe Macan
Practicality is not a dirty word anymore. Especially in the luxury SUV segment. The family grew, the business got more demanding or you are a straight up adventurer with a taste for the "finer things" and just because you have the need for a larger vehicle this does not mean that you are meant to give up on all the features the luxury segment now has to offer. And today, out of the different options that this segment has to offer, the 2018 Porsche Macan and the BMW X3 clearly call your attention.
Now, you realize we are a Porsche Center, so your "biased radar" is probably on red alert, but before you completely discard what we have to say, let us show you our research and compare them both as objectively as possible. Besides, you already know whom we are rooting for and despite all the data charts you can gather, perhaps secretly, you might be rooting for it too.
On paper, the BMW X3 has some advantageous traits. For instance:
- While driving in the city, it offers 20-22 mpg opposed to the Macan's 17-20 mpg in the city even though they both have automatic stop/start.
- It also goes 0.3 of a second faster to 60 mph than the Porsche.
- If inches matter to you, regarding space, the BMW X3's rear legroom is 36.4 inches, compared to the Macan?s slightly smaller 35.6 inches.
- And if you're a technology junkie, you might really be attracted to features like BMW's Head-Up Display.
Now here's where the 2018 Porsche Macan really stands out:
- Unmatchable power output versus the 2018 X3. The Macan features a turbocharged 2.0-liter/four-cylinder engine but has greater output with 252 hp and 273 lb-ft of torque versus the X3's 248 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. And of course, Porsche has won Le Mans 19 times, more than anyone else so you know that Porsche is an expert on handling. There's a flow to driving a Porsche.
- Superior safety since the Macan comes with lane departure warning, a rearview camera, also front and rear parking sensors which will keep you from a bump or two.
- Luxury - The Porsche Macan's interior comes with Alcantara leather as a standard, which is an upgrade from BMW's standard leatherette. And that sense of occasion: when you step into the Macan, you are reminded of Porsche's motorsport heritage.
Some choose the X3 because of it's somewhat smaller price tag, others choose the Macan because of its engineering, suspension tuning, and fresh sports-car attitude. We simply say, come to Porsche St. Louis for a test drive, press the start button, and you'll know.
