Hey all! We realize this is a review on the “old” 2018 model and a new one is already out, but since we hadn’t posted a review on a Porsche Macan yet, we figured we’d just do a video on this 2018 model and hopefully get our hands on the refreshed 2019 model later so we can reference this for that video. Also, some of you probably noticed that the video on the Model 3 update was taken down, we will plan to repost it at another time but we hopped on a plane to Seattle early this morning for a few days and plan to film a TON of content to be posted later. Be sure to follow us on Instagram (redline_reviews) and Facebook (liketheredline) for a sneak peak at all the cars we will be filming while in Seattle! Thanks for watching guys!

I love how you take every opportunity to review a car. If you ever end up near a Power Wheels, do a review on that and let us know how the door slam sounds and if the glove compartment is damped and/or lined with felt!

I love that the reviews from the home base are on the roads I drove on in high school. I-66. Georgetown Pike. etc. Shout out to NOVA and DC!

Great review! Really wish you got a chance to drive the GTS because it’s far more a Porsche than the base model. Just wanted to mention that the Macan S and GTS have twin turbo engines in this generation, looks like going forward the Macan S has a single turbo.

Great genuine honest review by someone that knows their stuff. Thanks!

Good review. Just one thing, the CD door below the screen closes by once again gently pulling back on the door and letting go, not forcing it shut manually. It’s a Porsche thing. Interior quality is fantastic of course. The buttons are great.

I’ve had the chance to drive a 2018 Macan with the same engine and I thought the same.. nothing special and won’t give you that Porsche feeling that you would expect. It’s a Q5 with Porsche badge

It absolutely is. The quality of the interior is part of what makes the base Macan so successful. Sure you can jazz it up with alcantara in the GTS/Turbo along with carbon fiber pieces, etc. Long story short, pushing the A/C button on a Porsche and then pushing it on anything else just doesn’t feel like quality. This includes other vehicles in its class.

Why did you have to take down the video with the Model 3 update?

Also this ‘sport edition’ is kinda silly because why would anyone want to add all these performance options w the lousy base engine + smaller brakes. At this price point you are almost at the GTS base price w superior driving dynamics and engine sound

I would love to see the numbers with the 400 horsepower version. I bet it screams down the road, as it just emptied your bank account for the cost of the upgraded motor LOL

I'm a huge fan of your channel and reviews, but I have to say... were you in a bad mood that day when you shot this? Your videos are generally really well-balanced, but the negativity towards the Macan noticeably stood out (down to the hood cover / headlamp design, as well as the sound of the door closing - which I wouldn't have thought would sound any worse than a Q5); was just a bit shocking and unexpected. In addition to the new Macan, hope you can review the redesigned Cayenne as well (curious for likewise any similarities between that and the Q7). Keep up the great work with your channel, Sofyan!

Our criticism of that and just bi-xenon headlights were addressed when we mentioned how Porsche makes you pay extra for everything, when some things should be standard for the money.

Cheeky. Reviewing a loaner while your Cayman is in for warranty or maintenance work?

yes Porsche is crazy about options, that's why u should never purchase a "base" model Porsche. I mean if u only have 65k budget, don't even consider a Porsche, because a bmw/audi/benz will be a better choice, I think 65k u can get a sq5. people say the interior is not premium enough, yes its not, but I love thatbutton cluster, sadly they replaced it with the new one, but I still like it, it looks more high-end. if you have over 80k budget, maybe consider the macan s or gts, u can get a decently equipped one with ur personalization. btw any chance for reviewing a new Porsche cayenne turbo coupe? looking forward to that cuz its a possible replacement for my x6m right now, my local dealer doesn't have it.

We’re it not for the maintenance costs this would be mine. Since I purchased my cars and keep them for as long as I still like them I wouldn’t have the luxury of walking away from it after the free maintenance period expires. This is my favorite car of all cars on the market presently. If I had my druthers it would be my primary car and possibly my only car.

13:36 Oh Goody Gumdrops! Felt..😂 But on serious note, it looks like Porsche just wanted to piece together something to fill that empty slot in their lineup. They make phenomenal cars but their CUVs seem to lag behind most competitors in build quality and especially especially especially reliability.. Even short term.

This is a much nicer car than a CX-5 Turbo (they aren’t in the same price class) and noticeably quicker, but when you properly compare it to what you get in an Audi SQ5 for the same price, the base Macan is pointless. The SQ5 is much more of basically the same car, including much better performance and more storage space. Only reason to get the Macan is for the badge.
