Porsche has introduced an exciting new special edition of its highly popular Macan SUV for the Indian market. This new variant comes equipped with a comprehensive “Design Package,” offering a range of aesthetic upgrades that sharpen the SUV’s visual appeal both inside and out. The launch price for this limited-run model is set at ₹96.05 lakh (ex-showroom).
The new Design Package is a strategic move to provide customers with an exclusive and distinct-looking Macan without altering its core performance. While the special edition is priced the same as the standard Macan, a significant catch is that the Design Package is complimentary for the first 30 buyers.
Following this limited-time offer, the package will be available as an add-on for a premium of ₹7.5 lakh, both for new buyers and existing Macan owners looking to upgrade their vehicle’s aesthetics.
A Detailed Look at the Package
The Design Package is a collection of accessories and styling elements that collectively give the Macan a more aggressive and personalized feel. The most prominent of these is the inclusion of the Sport Design Package.
- Exterior Enhancements: The Macan with the Design Package is instantly recognizable. The Sport Design Package replaces the standard bumpers and side skirts with body-colored front and rear aprons and side skirts, creating a more cohesive and low-slung look. The side-view mirrors (ORVMs) are finished in a sleek black, providing a sharp contrast. Other exterior touches include tinted LED tail-lights, a new sportier exhaust pipe, and colored hub caps that add a subtle splash of color to the wheels. Underneath the doors, LED puddle lamps project the Porsche logo onto the ground, a premium touch that enhances both style and functionality.
- Interior Upgrades: The interior receives a similar treatment, focusing on a sportier and more luxurious feel. The gear knob is now finished in black, and the vehicle is equipped with the “Carbon Interior Package,” which introduces a carbon-coloredfinish to the dashboard and door panels. These changes create a more driver-focused cockpit, subtly elevating the cabin’s atmosphere and sense of occasion.
Performance Remains Unchanged
Underpinning these stylistic changes is the same robust mechanical package that makes the Macan a leader in its segment. The car is powered by a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine that produces a healthy 265 horsepower and 400Nm of torque. Power is sent to all four wheels through Porsche’s renowned PDK dual-clutch transmission.
This powertrain combination allows the SUV to accelerate from a standstill to 100 km/h in a brisk 6.4 seconds. For drivers who desire a more exhilarating launch, the optional Sport Chrono Package can shave this time down to an even quicker 6.2 seconds.
By offering this new Design Package, Porsche is giving its Indian clientele a chance to own a Macan that stands out from the crowd, combining the brand’s core values of performance and precision with a fresh, exclusive aesthetic.
