Porsche Launches Macan R4

Porsche has some really good news for the SUV aspirants 

Porsche recently launched its most affordable SUV, the R4. The R4 is the 4th generation in the Macan line-up.

The Macan R4 is the least expensive Porsche SUV you can get your hands on and the decision to bring this one comes closely after Jaguar launched the F-Pace in India. 

Benefiting from lower custom duties on cars with an engine capacity below two litres, Porsche has been able to price this car aggressively and this 2.0-litre, 4 cylinder turbocharged petrol engine churns out a good 248bhp and develops 370Nm of torque. Porsche claims the Macan R4 can go from 0-100km/h in just 6.7 seconds and reach a top speed of 229kmph.

Mechanical transmission duties will be handled by a seven-speed dual-clutch PDK auto box, which transfers the power to all four wheels. What comes as part of standard equipment is Porsche's air suspension with PASM (Porsche Active Suspension Management) and this certainly gives it the edge when compared to the F-Pace because this is what makes the Macan more agile.

The Macan R4 is the 4th variant to be available in Macan's portfolio. The other models include the Macan S diesel, Macan Turbo and Macan Turbo with performance package.

The Macan R4 sits below all its variants and is the only variant to be priced below Rs. 1 crore.
However, a Porsche lover in India, cannot get better than this. Priced at Rs. 76.84 lakh (ex-showroom, Maharashtra), the Porsche dealerships had already started bookings of the car in the country at a booking amount of Rs.10 lakhs.
