Porsche Macan will be launched in India this month

The Macan Turbo will get a 3.6-litre bi-turbo petrol engine that makes 400bhp of max power and 550Nm of torque. The company claims the Macan Turbo can do the 0-100kmph sprint in 4.8 seconds and will max out at 266kmph. The other variant, the Macan S Diesel, will be equipped with a 3.0-litre V6 mill producing a maximum power of 258bhp and 580Nm of torque. The diesel variant can achieve a top speed of 230kmph and do 0-100kph in 6.3 seconds. This Macan S Diesel has a claimed fuel economy figure of 19 kmpl in the UK cycle which is impressive. Both models will have PDK and all-wheel-drive as standard fare.

The Macan will be positioned as a lifestyle product and should ask for a premium over the vehicles of its size, like the Range Rover Evoque and Audi Q5. The diesel version will cost upward of Rs 80 lakh, while the turbo petrol should breach the eight figure mark.
