2022 Porsche Macan S

The Macan is Porsche's compact SUV, the one that brings sports-car feel to a practical body. It's one of the sharpest-handling SUVs you can buy, with steering and body control that feel almost like a hot hatch. The ride is firm, especially on larger wheels, but that's the trade-off for how flat it stays in corners. The cabin is nicely built and driver-focused, though rear legroom and cargo space are tighter than in rivals. Its 2.9L V6 makes 375 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque, routed through a seven-speed automatic and all-wheel drive that launch it hard out of corners. The adaptive dampers are standard here, letting you firm up the ride for back roads or soften it for the daily commute.
