Porsche Macan Buyer's Guide
A used gas Macan comes from one of three phases: 2015–2018 (95B.1), 2019–2021 (95B.2) or 2022 on (95B.3). Most documented problems sit with the 2015–2018 cars, led by transfer-case judder. In CarWhere's live listings, a 2018 Macan has a $21,411 median asking price and a 2022 has $42,053.

Options worth paying for
Air suspension, PASM, Sport Chrono, the Premium Package items and the sport exhaust vary car by car on gas Macans; the Macan T bundles PASM and Sport Chrono as standard. The Macan trim levels guide shows what each trim includes, and Porsche options that add resale value covers which ones buyers pay more for.
Used Macan pre-purchase checklist
- On 2015–2018 cars, test-drive slowly with the wheel turned for transfer-case judder, and ask a dealer whether the transfer case was replaced (see Macan known issues).
- On V6 cars from 2015–2018, check for oil and coolant leaks.
- Check open recalls for the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, including the fuel-pump flange and seat-sensor campaigns on early cars.
- Ask for service records, including PDK and transfer-case fluid.
- Book a specialist inspection — see the Porsche pre-purchase inspection checklist.
- Confirm the trim and options with the Porsche Macan build sheet by VIN; base Macans listed as an S or GTS are common.
Before you buy, check that exact Macan
Two Macans with the same badge can be equipped very differently. Check the car's factory trim, colors and recorded options — and original MSRP when the build data includes it — by VIN before you commit.

FAQ
What are the Porsche Macan generations?
The gas Macan (95B) ran in three phases: 95B.1 (2015–2018), the 95B.2 refresh (2019–2021) and the 95B.3 update (2022 on, ending in 2026). The second-generation Macan is all-electric, on sale since 2024.
Which used Macan years should I be careful with?
Most documented Macan problems sit with 2015–2018 (95B.1) cars: transfer-case judder covered by a warranty extension, fuel-pump flange recalls, and oil and coolant leaks on early V6s. Later cars are mainly about recall completion.
How much is a used Porsche Macan?
In CarWhere's live-listing data (as of 2026-10-25), median asking prices are $21,411 for 2018, $35,999 for 2021 and $46,772 for 2023 Macans, all trims combined.
Is the Macan transfer-case extension still valid?
Porsche's 2020 bulletin extended transfer-case coverage to seven years from first delivery with no mileage cap, so most early cars are now at or past the end of it. Ask a Porsche dealer to check the VIN.
How do I confirm a used Macan’s trim and options?
Run its VIN. The Porsche Macan build sheet by VIN shows the factory trim, colors and recorded options, and original MSRP when the build data includes it.
