The Porsche Macan rewrote the rule book for SUV handling. Since being introduced in 2014 it is still in peak demand. Whichever Porsche you drive, the motorsport DNA can be felt at its core, and the Macan is no exception.

The Porsche Macan is considered a benchmark in the small luxury SUV category. To prove it, we're putting our favorite luxury sport SUV, the 2020 Porsche Macan, against the 2020 Land Rover Discovery, in a side-by-side comparison. The Macan, which went through a model refresh in 2019, is available in several variations, including the Macan, Macan S and Macan Turbo.

The 2020 Land Rover Discovery, a midsize SUV, possesses power and off-road capabilities.

If you’re looking for a premium compact SUV deserving of the Porsche crest, look no further than the 2020 Macan. The Macan's sports car performance technology combined with its SUV size, make it one of the most rewarding luxury vehicles on the market.

With its dynamic overall look, the Macan is a pure sports car. Its redesigned rear appears extremely powerful. Like a bold line under its own signature, the new LED taillight strip emphasizes the "PORSCHE" logo. The seven-speed PDK gearbox has smooth shifts and well-spaced ratios that make the most of the engine. Sport and Sport Plus modes deliver tight body control and lots of grip, while the Macan’s steering feels meaty and responsive.

Although the 2020 Land Rover Discovery has many features, the 2020 Macan has customizable features that make it a cut above the rest. It offers Porsche Connect Plus and an in-depth connectivity and infotainment system; all found on a massive 10.9” touchscreen display with full-HD resolution. Connect Plus updates you with real-time traffic information and syncs with the Porsche Connect app. The Macan's cabin is further enhanced by high-quality leather surfaces, available heated multifunction GT sport steering wheel, and the optional BOSE Surround Sound System or Burmester High-End Surround Sound System.

The Porsche Macan has a smaller turning radius than the Land Rover Discovery, allowing you to more easily maneuver in and out of tight spots. Additionally, since the Porsche Macan is much slimmer than the Land Rover Discovery, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot.

Considering its precise ride, deluxe seating, and powerful engines, the Porsche Macan is well deserving of its reputation as one of the most well-rounded small SUVs in the market today.
