Porsche's new Macan SUV debuted with a Macan S, a Macan S Diesel and a Macan Turbo. What about the basic Macan? Porsche has finally revealed what will be powering the baseline Macan - a 2.0 litre turbocharged four cylinder engine.

The Macan's 1,984cc four cylinder engine produces a peak output of 237 horsepower from 5,000 to 6,800rpm and a peak torque of 350 Nm from 1,500 to 4,500rpm, with a compression ratio of 9.6:1. It sounds like the Volkswagen Group's EA888 engine to us. Mated to a PDK dual clutch transmission, it hits 100 km/h in 6.9 seconds. Combined fuel consumption is about 7.5 litres per 100 km.

Other than the different engine under the hood, there are exterior changes as well. The easiest way to tell between Macan models would be the tail pipes. While the Macan Turbo has quad rhombus tail pipes and the Macan S uses quad circular tail pipes, the Macan uses dual rhombus tail pipes.
