The 2023 Porsche Macan T was the first four-door Porsche to sport the “T” badge. The 911 and 718 twins were the original T models. It stands for “Touring”, and is an entry-level vehicle with more agility and sportier appearances.
The T is a low cost performance model that uses the base 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder model. The base Macan produces 261 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of power, while the T is faster.
Porsche’s Active Suspension Management System is standard equipment for making the Macan T more responsive. You can add the adaptive air suspension to your PASM package. Each model also receives stiffened anti-roll bars. This reduces body roll and improves handling. For the Porsche Traction Management system you can choose T-specific tuning, which increases power bias to your rear wheel. Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus is also available, which was specifically designed to improve the handling of the T model.
Another notable standard equipment is the Sport Chrono Package. This gives Porsche launch control and a time in 5.8 seconds between 0-60 mph. The exclusive model also includes 20-inch Macan S wheels in “dark Titan”, which are highlighted in the gallery.
2023 Porsche Macan T
Contrast trim in Agate Grey Metallic is one of the upgrades to the Macan T’s exterior. This finish is found on the front bumper trim as well as the side mirrors. The Sport tailpipes are now available as a standard feature and are finished in high-gloss Black.
The interior features eight-way power, heated sport seat and Sport-Tex Stripe upholstered design. To imitate the gray paint, silver stitching covers the steering wheel, seat, and headrest. The Porsche crest is placed on the last. The GT Sport heated steering wheel and door sills made of black aluminum have the “Macan T” logo inscribed.
Porsche claims that the T model will be available in spring. However, pricing is not yet available. You can order any Macan model from 2023 and have it configured this year. It will be priced below the S model with a base price of $66,750 in 2022.
