Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

For 2021 Wireless Apple CarPlay is now standard.

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 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

For 2021, the only notable update to the Macan Turbo is the addition of Apple CarPlay, which was previously absent. Otherwise, everything carries over unchanged except for the base price, which rises by $1000.

Pros
Thrilling twin-turbo V-6 powertrain,
clairvoyant handling characteristics,
unrivaled personalization options.

Cons
Some rivals are quicker and more powerful,
stingy back-seat space,
can easily cost six figures.
