2026 Porsche Macan Wins Car and Driver Award

Porsche's popular Macan earns this prestigious award for the 9th time

Car and Driver has chosen the 2026 Porsche Macan as a 10Best Truck and SUV award winner for the ninth time. This accolade by the Car and Driver editorial staff is coveted and underscores the driving enjoyment, in-segment value, and curb appeal that the Macan exudes. More than 100 entrants, representing most new road-going passenger vehicles with an MSRP under $115,000, are tested and evaluated for at least two weeks before the winners are selected.

‟The Macan is still the only SUV that can do a convincing impression of a sports sedan. A really good sports sedan!” remarked Ezra Dyer.

Timo Resch, President and CEO of Porsche Cars North America

”We are thrilled and grateful that the blend of engaging driving dynamics, everyday usability, and value that has defined the Macan since it was first introduced has once again been distinguished by the discerning editorial team at Car and Driver. Receiving this award for the ninth time is proof that a compelling, sports car-inspired package will continue to stand the test of time – something our engineers always strive for.”
