FIVE REASONS TO BUY...

... THE PORSCHE MACAN

1.The Macan offers all the pace and handling you’d expect from a Porsche, yet bundled-up as a useful mid-sized luxury SUV.

2. The entry-level model costs £45,553, but you can upgrade to the S or S Diesel for only a few hundred quid more. Well worth the extra for the better performance.

3. It doesn’t offer the biggest interior in its segment but the Macan GT3 RS is the only SUV you could consider for trackday use.

4. All models come with a generous amount of standard equipment. The available options do make a compelling argument for upgrading the spec, though

5. So much better than Range Rover Evoque. Or anything else in its class.
