Safety and Driver Assistance Rating:
*Due to lack of NHTSA and IIHS crash testing.
The Macan hasn’t been tested by either crash-test agency (nor has any other Porsche currently on sale, for that matter). The Macan can be had with a wide array of active-safety technology, but almost none of it is standard.

What’s New for 2018?
The Macan still has not been crash-tested by the IIHS or NHTSA-and, like other higher-end cars that don’t get crash-tested by either agency, odds are good it might not ever be. Still, the rest of its available active-safety features are unchanged for 2018.

Crash Test Results
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the nonprofit, independent Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) evaluate vehicles for crashworthiness in the United States. NHTSA assigns cars an overall rating out of five stars. IIHS uses a different set of tests, grades cars on a scale of Good to Poor, and awards the vehicles that perform best across its tests with Top Safety Pick or Top Safety Pick+ honors, the latter of which requires that the subject’s automated forward-collision-braking system performs well. The Macan has not been tested by either ratings agency.

Airbags, Child Seats, and Spare Tire Location
The way the Macan’s rear seats and child-seat LATCH anchors are designed make it slightly challenging to tightly secure a child seat, but flat seat bottoms help to keep the seat level once it’s installed.
Active-Safety Features
Of the many safety features offered in the Macan, only front and rear parking sensors and a rearview camera are standard. In many Porsches, even those basic features cost extra, so Macan owners should count themselves lucky.
