POR-021 | 95B.2, 95B.3 Base Macan Tuning Guide
2019-2021 95B.2 Macan Base
2022-2025 95B.3 Macan Base
While Porsche has typically used Audi powerplants in the majority of Macan trims, the Base models have always been different, utilizing the 2.0L engine from the GTI along with the ECU and control strategies. That means that tuning these is fairly different from tuning a typical Porsche or Audi but there are still some overlaps. For most purposes, you can refer to the tuning guides for the GTI for the Mk7 and Mk8 generations.
95B.2 Base Macan = MK7.5 GTI
95B.3 Base Macan = Mk8 GTI
The approach taken for Macan Base can be very similar to the GTI but some considerations should be made for important differences. It may be difficult to make as much power in the Macan but it can still be a very rewarding car to tune.
