Porsche updated the Macan's front and rear bumpers and added new wheel designs to the order form for 2022. The interior sports a reworked center console, steering wheel, and shift lever. The base turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder now makes 261 horsepower, and the Macan S inherits the 375-hp twin-turbo 2.9-liter V-6 from last year's GTS. Porsche cut the Turbo from the list but transferred its 434-hp V-6 to the GTS.
PROS Spry handling, eager powertrains, sporty exterior styling.
CONS Standard interior materials don't impress, snug rear seat, most rivals offer more cargo space.

If you’re still anticipating that the arrival of any new electric vehicle will undo a 15-year-old car company, it’s time to let go of that fantasy. The Tesla killer is a myth. A phantom. A four-wheeled Chupacabra. That’s true even as the 2019 Jaguar I-Pace—a $70,495 five-seat crossover with an estimated 240 miles of range—establishes itself as the most complete electric vehicle yet. A Tesla competitor? Absolutely. Will it suck the life out of Tesla sales? Not a chance.
Pros Equal parts speed and serenity, luxe fit and finish.
Cons Slow-acting touchscreens, incomplete public charging network.
