Would you prefer to experience the gear change or the driving pleasure? No contest. The new Macan is equipped with the 7-speed PDK transmission, which changes gear in fractions of a second with no interruption in the flow of power. The advantage is that, whenever a particular gear is engaged, the next gear is already preselected. As the clutch of the engaged gear opens, the clutch of the target gear closes simultaneously. The effect is a sporty, dynamic and agile driving feel.
Common-rail diesel injection system: In the new Macan S Diesel, fuel is directly injected by a common-rail injection system. The injection pressure of up to 2,000 bar ensures effective mixture formation and enhanced dynamic performance. Piezo-controlled injectors enable a flexible injection process with multiple injections taking place per stroke and delivering fuel in the exact amounts required for smooth combustion.
Auto start/stop function To improve fuel economy, the auto start/ stop function switches off the engine when you are coming to a stop at traffic lights, for example. Standard in all Macan models.
Coasting: The coasting function enables you to save even more fuel where the situation allows. The engine is decoupled from the transmission, which avoids the deceleration caused by engine braking. In this way, the vehicle makes optimum use of its own momentum and is able to coast for longer distances. This has real benefits for fuel consumption without any impact on comfort or sporty performance.
Braking system: Porsche set high standards for braking performance. So it goes without saying that our brake systems are super-sized and adapted to the high power output of the engine. At the front, the Macan models are equipped with six-piston aluminium monobloc fixed brake calipers. The brake discs are internally vented for consistently high braking power, even during continuous use.
Air suspension: For a high level of comfort and tremendous dynamic performance, you have the option of an air suspension including PASM.With this setup, the car is 15 mm lower than with the steel spring suspension. The effect? Improved aerodynamics. The self-levelling function helps to keep the ride height constan
BOSE Surround Sound-System: The BOSE Surround Sound System is compatible with Porsche Communication Management (PCM) as well as the CDR Plus audio system.
The system has been optimally tuned for the models in the Macan range. A total of 14 loudspeakers, including an active subwoofer and centre speaker, and nine amplifier channels with a total output of 545 watts deliver an impressive sound experience.
