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

By:

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

Cons
Less rear legroom and cargo capacity than many competitors

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.
