Anyone else thinking about the off-road package? The extra ground clearance might be useful, but I just can't get over the look of those metal edges. Seems like a potential headache. Plus, wouldn't replacing a standard plastic bumper be cheaper down the line compared to the whole off-road package? Trying to decide if the functionality outweighs the aesthetics for my needs. Thoughts?
 
I don't like it.I doubt someone will take a Macan in serious off-roading. The Macan's definitely more suited for on-road performance, which is perfect for me since I prioritize a sporty look. I have a Jeep who does the dirty job for me anyway.
 
The Macan is trying to branch out as an off-road vehicle but i think it would be best if they focused as a city ride car/ on-road. I dont think it can carry out the tasks of an off-road vehicle anyways.
 
The dealer usually upsells something but you have the option to buy or decline it. JUst think of it as an investment especially if you like riding off roads.
 
It depends on your preference, but if you're not a fan of the glossy black trim on the Turbo, the Offroad Design Package gives the Macan 4 a matte finish. I really like the look, it reminds me of the Taycan Cross Turismo. This package gives the Macan a similar rugged vibe.
 
The Off-Road Package is great if you’re actually going to use it, but if you’re mostly on paved roads, it’s extra weight, extra cost, and extra aesthetic compromise for no real benefit. Unless you plan to do serious off-roading, I’d keep the standard setup and just be mindful of clearance when needed.
 
those sharp edges do look like they could cause some trouble and they;d be a pain to keep spotless. Plus replacing a regular bumper is way cheaper than the whole off-road package. If you're not planning on doing serious off-roading, the standard look is probably the better option. You can always add tougher tires and a skid plate for some extra protection. Sure off-road features are useful but you also have to consider how it looks and how practical it is for everyday driving.
