Vehicle model
Porsche Macan
Launched in 2014, the Macan is Porsche's compact SUV and has become its best-selling model. More agile and affordable than the Cayenne, this sub-mid-size SUV combines everyday use with dynamic driving. Since 2024, a new fully electric generation (Macan Electric) coexists with the gas version, whose production ends during 2026. The Macan targets urban and family customers seeking a versatile, accessible Porsche. Tire/wheel note: the only Porsche with a 5x112 bolt pattern (not 5x130), with 19- to 22-inch wheels; in Quebec, a dedicated set of winter tires is strongly recommended for this SUV.

Tires and wheels
Tire and wheel compatibility
Les Porsche roulent presque toujours sur de grandes jantes : 19 et 20 pouces sur 911 et 718, 20 à 22 pouces sur Cayenne, Macan, Panamera et Taycan. La plupart des modèles (911, 718, Cayenne, Panamera) utilisent un entraxe 5x130 mm, tandis que le Macan se distingue avec un 5x112 mm. Les montes sont souvent étagées (pneus arrière plus larges qu'à l'avant). Porsche recommande des pneus homologués « N » développés pour ses véhicules. Au Québec, les pneus d'hiver sont obligatoires : un second jeu de jantes plus petites (souvent 19 ou 20 pouces) chaussé de pneus hiver protège les jantes d'origine et améliore nettement la motricité sur neige et glace. Validez toujours dimension, indice de charge/vitesse et déport.
