Prospective buyers looking to buy a mid-sized family SUV are spoilt for choice as the market is flooded with various offerings. But none provide a balance for a true driver dynamic-focused experience and practicality for everyday use like the Porsche Macan T.
In our book, its overall composition makes for a very decent compromise between practicality and driving pleasure.
But deep down inside we do wish the Macan T came with a detuned version of Audi’s five-cylinder turbo engine, although that is of course out of the question for various reasons.
At R1,524,000 at the time of writing, the Porsche Macan T slots neatly between the base Macan (R1.39m) and Macan S (R1.66m). Cheap it isn’t, but then it is a Porsche, and it’s also well within the ballpark of Merc’s GLC Coupe, which retails from R1,41m to R1,58m.
