Get in a Macan, hit the gas, and objections about a hot-rod compact crossover disappear. The 2018 10Best award-winning Macan is quicker and more capable on- and off-road than its corporate cousin, the Audi Q5. The base engine is a 252-hp turbo 2.0-liter inline-four. The S has a 340-hp twin-turbo V-6; the GTS makes 360. All-wheel drive and a seven-speed automatic are standard on all. The S hit 60 mph in 4.7 seconds in our testing and engages the driver in a way other SUVs simply don’t.
