Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

The 2020 Porsche Macan is unranked in Luxury Compact SUVs due to missing safety data. Currently, the Porsche Macan's overall score is not available, though its Critics' Rating, Performance score, and Interior score are based on our evaluation of 39 pieces of research and data.

Pros
Responsive steering and lithe handling
Upscale interior
Excellent predicted reliability rating
User-friendly infotainment system

Cons
Below-average fuel economy
High base price for the class
Tight rear seats and undersized cargo space

By: 
usnews.com

The 2020 Porsche Macan comes with all wheel drive. Available transmissions include: 7-speed automated manual. Turbo and GTS return to the lineup with revised engines, more power.Offers optional upgrade to tungsten carbide-coated brakes.

Pros
Quick acceleration regardless of engine choice
Most athletic and engaging SUV in the class
Surprisingly comfortable and composed ride
Easy to customize thanks to a long list of individual options

Cons
Less rear legroom and cargo capacity than many competitors
Options and packages boost the price quickly
Four-cylinder engine is much thirstier than those in rivals

By: 
edmunds.com

The GTS returns to the lineup for 2020. Its twin-turbo 2.9-liter V-6 makes 375 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque. Apple CarPlay, available as part of the Premium package or as a standalone option, gains wireless connectivity, while wireless device charging has been added to the designated Smartphone Compartment option.

Pros
Properly quick,
stylish exterior,
exceptional poise on the road.

Cons
Low-rent interior in standard form,
cramped rear seat,
small cargo hold.

By: 
caranddriver.com

The Mercedes-AMG GLB 35 takes the small-yet-practical GLB and adds much more power and four-wheel drive. Just don’t go thinking passengers in the back will enjoy any full-bore starts.

Pros
Stylish looks
High-class cabin
Impressively quick

Cons
Less fun than a hot-hatch
Cramped third row of seats
Alternatives have bigger boots

By: 
carwow.co.uk

Pros
Gives customers more options to choose from
Won’t lack in power relative to the competition around it
Equipped with the latest Mercedes technology

Cons
I personally like the GLA better
A three-row, seven-seater compact crossover could create problems of its own
Might be more expensive than expected
