What's the story
Porsche has expanded its Macan lineup in India by introducing a new limited-run variant, the Macan with Design Package. It costs ₹96.05 lakh (ex-showroom).

Exteriors
The SUV gets LED puddle lamps and tinted taillights
The Design Package for Macan adds a host of exterior and interior accessories to the standard SUV. The exterior upgrades include LED puddle lamps, a sportier exhaust pipe, colored hub caps for the alloy wheels, and tinted LED taillights. The package also includes the Sports Design Package (worth ₹2.2 lakh), which features body-colored front and rear aprons as well as side skirts.
Inside
A look at the interiors
On the inside, the Macan with Design Package gets a black gear knob and the Carbon Interior Package (₹2.2 lakh), which gives a carbon-colored finish to the dashboard and doors. However, there are no mechanical changes with this special edition variant. It retains its 2.0-liter, four-cylinder, turbo-petrol engine from the standard Macan, producing 265hp of power and 400Nm of torque.
Performance
It can sprint from 0-100km/h in 6.4 seconds
Porsche claims the Macan with Design Package can go from 0-100km/h in 6.4 seconds, which can be improved to 6.2 seconds with the Sport Chrono Package. In India, this model costs ₹96.05 lakh (ex-showroom). This makes it pricier than competitors like Audi Q5 (₹68-73.79 lakh), BMW X3 (₹75.8-77.80 lakh), Mercedes-Benz GLC (₹78.3 lakh), and the facelifted Volvo XC60 (₹71.90 lakh).
