The new Macan saw the world premiere. Now, it is time to think about upcoming models and trim levels. True enthusiasts will look beyond the moment. They will wait for versions the bring more excitement. The 2019 Porsche Macan Turbo and GTS are these. From this stance, it seems like the German carmaker is not going to make radical changes since the same engine takes the position under the hood. On the other hand, the exterior is the same as for the new 2019 Macan. Well, some things are unique as always. Wheels, spoiler, and special grille make the Turbo version distinctive and eye-catching. Under the bonnet of the 2019 Porsche Macan Turbo remains the same 3.6-liter V-6 drivetrain. This beast can crank out over 400 horses. Torque will get an improvement from the current level. Also, the new Macan Turbo will drop the time needed for 0-60 mph sprint. Currently, the SUV needs 4.5 seconds to do that.
If this is not enough, then buyers can pick a Performance package. The next update will bring more power. We expect this version to produce at least 450 hp and 470 pound-feet of torque. However, the company is still about to confirm these rumors. With such drivetrain tuning, the 2019 Porsche Macan Turbo will stop the clock under 4 seconds for acceleration 0-60 mph. Both versions of the engine are using a seven-speed PDK auto transmission. The drivetrain is making the SUV a true rival to the BMW X3M. We already know the shapes of the new 2019 Porsche Macan Turbo. The only thing you need is to take a look at the standard model. 30,000 more just because of the drivetrain. Wheels are getting bigger and there are more options for rims. Also, custom-color brakes behind them will make the car breathtaking. Maybe the exterior is not so rich with additions, but the cabin will show why is the 2019 Porsche Macan Turbo is one of the most expensive SUVs. Alcantara leather and so-called Tequipment features will make it out of reach for many fans. Nevertheless, the Macan Turbo has plenty to offer. Buyers have to choose different color options for the interior. Power- or Adaptive Sport seats come with a 14- or 18-way adjustable position. Since the new Macan is out, it is just a matter of time when the other trim levels will start to appear. First, we can expect Macan S and GTS. After these are out, the 2019 Porsche Macan Turbo will appear. Everything should happen pretty fast. Early next year we will have the entire lineup available in salons. 10k short from the offer with Performance Package.
Nimble, agile, and even tossable aren鈥檛 words that you鈥檒l often find in driving impressions of a big three-row utility vehicle. Yet they most definitely apply to the 2017 Audi Q7. The new Q7 manages to provide a driving experience that, on tight, curvy roads, feels like that of a tidy mid-sizer. You might actually forget you鈥檙e in a tall utility vehicle that鈥檚 around 200 inches long鈥攖he length of a full-size sedan. The 2017 Q7 is essentially the same size as its predecessor, yet it has a new aluminum-intensive body construction (alloy body panels and a structure using high-strength steels) and completely new platform. It鈥檚 nearly 500 pounds lighter (or by official U.S. But it also has its tricks鈥攍ike all-wheel steering. In top-trim form, with all the right option boxes clicked, this big utility wagon has a sophisticated, height-adjustable air suspension and well-tuned suspension that really work to maximize this vehiclesride quality and cornering potential. The Q7 is the first SUV with four-wheel steering since GM鈥檚 Chevy Suburban and GMC Yukon XL models offered it more than a decade ago.
Victor Underberg, the head of chassis dynamics at Audi AG, rode along with us for an hour or so, and he helped us understand how the all-wheel steering works in the Q7. According to Underberg, there are some serious differences in the behavior of the rear wheels between the Q7鈥檚 Drive Select modes (Comfort, Dynamic, Auto, and Individual, as well as Off-Road in some situations). The Q7鈥檚 Dynamic Mode not only reduces the maximum angle of the rear wheels in tight cornering but changes the entire way the system works in quick maneuvers and nearer to the limit. All-wheel steering is now offered in the Porsche 911, and in the Acura RLX sedan. The Acura system requires a bit of a learning curve to understand exactly when the rear wheels are going to pivot and give you a predictable, pronounced nudge鈥攈opefully back onto your intended, non-understeer trajectory. Compared to that Acura system, the Audi system provides less of the nudge and more of a consistent, French-curve-tightening of your cornering arc. From the driver鈥檚 seat it feels as if the vehicle is no longer pivoting around its rear wheels but, momentarily, a point a lot closer to your tailbone.
