Porsche’s Macan is currently the performance leader in the compact SUV segment. Whether you’re driving the base 4-cylinder model or the range-topping twin-turbocharged V-6 Turbo, we bet there’ll be a huge grin on your face. However, with fellow German firms BMW and Mercedes-Benz...

The 2017 Porsche Macan GTS is the compact SUV the automaker always set out to build, according to Porsche. Based on the Audi Q5, the Macan GTS is, in our opinion, the best handling crossover on the planet, but how does it get that way? Let's dissect how a sports car maker turns an SUV into a...

Porsche's strategy for old GTS models had been magnificent in its mission: Even if buyers couldn’t afford faster cars, there was still a race to empty whatever they had left in their wallets.

A Chinese firm has so closely copied a Porsche Macan that it takes an especially keen eye to spot how they differ. Zotye Auto has developed a reputation for knocking off European crossovers and SUVs, but the company's new SR8 is undoubtedly its best effort yet. These latest photos, which follow up...

The Macan has been a roaring success for Porsche, with the small SUV rocketing to the top of the sales chart in only its first full year on the market. Porsche sold more than 80,000 Macans last year globally, enough to put it ahead of the automaker’s next best-seller, the Cayenne, which...

Like the Mercedes-Benz GLA45 AMG, the Porsche Macan is a new breed of crossover that more closely resembles the hot hatch than anything else. Call it a tall, fast wagon, we don’t really care. What it is is amazing. No, really, it is. As Marty Padgett wrote in our first drive review...

Porsche already has three plug-in hybrids in its lineup, the limited edition 918 Spyder as well as the Cayenne and Panamera S E-Hybrid models, but the sports car manufacturer won’t be stopping there. This is because Porsche sees vehicle electrification as a crucial element of its...

It's been ten years already, but if you still haven't absorbed the reality of a Porsche SUV, brace yourselves. There's a second one--and it's probably the best crossover SUV we've driven.
