The Thailand-spec 2019 Porsche Macan is powered by a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine that outputs a maximum power 252 hp. The motor comes paired with a 7-speed PDK gearbox that sends power to all wheels. The powertrain's average fuel consumption is rated at 12.3 km/l. The refreshed SUV is underpinned by an updated chassis that boosts the comfort levels and the dynamics of the baby Cayenne, claims Porsche.
