How this compares
At 21 MPG combined, the 2019 Porsche Macan ranks 5th of 5 small SUVs (4WD) EPA rated for 2019 — 2 MPG short of the 23 MPG median for that group.
That places it among the thirstiest vehicles in its class. If annual mileage is high, the running-cost gap against a class-average rival compounds quickly.
EPA puts annual fuel spend at about $3,600, $300 more than the $3,300 typical for the class. Over five years at 15,000 miles a year that is roughly $18,000, a $1,500 difference against a class-median vehicle.
Tailpipe CO₂ is 426 grams per mile — about 6.4 metric tons over 15,000 miles of driving.
