Updated Feb 25, 2022 | Same topic: Automotive Industry Updates

It’s the first four-door Porsche with the exclusive designation.

A total of 13 colors are available for the exterior. 

Inside, the 2023 Macan T offers room for five with exclusive black leather upholstery, including headrests carrying the Porsche crest. A heated multi-function GT steering wheel is standard for drivers, accompanied by the Sport Chrono stopwatch on the dashboard.
