Hot on the heels of the Porsche Macan GTS that was revealed at the 2015 Tokyo Motor Show, Porsche has tweaked the rest of its siblings to bring them all in line.

The biggest addition to the rest of the Macan range is the Porsche Communication Management (PCM) which was first introduced on the 911 variants and then on the Macan GTS. The system now comes with a seven-inch high-resolution touchscreen display that accepts multi-touch gestures and also has Bluetooth, USB, SD, Wi-Fi hotspot and compatibility with Apple’s CarPlay.

Then there are the new full LED cornering headlights that make use of a camera-based dynamic main beam function (for best driving assistance during the night) to the optional Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus (PDLS Plus). The system can also use navigation data from the PCM to activate additional illumination when for example approaching an intersection in the city.

The top-of-the-line Macan Turbo gets additional exterior and interior packages inspired by the GTS, along with 21-inch rims in bi-colour 911 Turbo design, Sport Design door mirrors and wheel hub covers with coloured Porsche crest add further accents. Contrasting elements in gloss black can be found on the air inlets and side blades, as well as the window trim strips and the rear underbody. Black pipes and smoked rear lights are now standard on the Turbo too.

Inside, there’s an enhanced Alcantara kit with contrast stitching, Turbo embroidery illuminated door sill plates and Rhodium Silver or Garnet Red decorative stitching around the cabin. The entire Macan range now comes with new body hues and optional Alcantara-trimmed heated steering wheel, as well as new design options for the cabin such as contrasting stitching or painted central panels of the seats.
