Offroad pack worth it?

I really don't like the design of it, especially the metal finish at the edges. Prefer the stock look, it's much cleaner. Also wouldn't it be cheaper to replace the plastic bumpers than the offroad ones, as they are pricier? Last thing, is the 10mm extra clearance going to really make a difference?

Don't like it either, not something I would consider.
I suspect the off road one may be sturdier and therefore have better chances of surviving off roading... but doubt anyone will do serious off-road driving with the Macan. I'd skip it.

Of course this is all personal preference but for those (like me) who are not keen on the glossy black wheel arches, sideskirts and aprons that come standard with the Turbo, the Offroad Design Package brings back the matte finish of the Macan 4. I really like the Taycan Cross Turismo packaging and I think this Offroad Pack provides the Macan with a similar aesthetic.

I would have also spec'd the roof rails, which are included with the Offroad Design Package, so the cost increase is somewhat mitigated.

Not sure if this option actually provides any more ground clearance or whether it just sets the normal mode height 10mm higher (which is ultimately user adjustable).

The additional factor with the Off Road front bumper apart from the increased lift is that it projects forward less than the standard bumper- ? 2cms less, so that improves the angle of attack for clearing gutters, driveways, ramps etc
