We put a customised order through last week so the waiting game begins. Won't arrive until early/mid September. Just as long as we waiting for our RS6.... usually 2 months wait. Now it's double the time for delivery.
Nice video ! Do you know if it’s the same turbo size of the Macan Turbo with just a detune (lower turbo pressure) or the turbo size of the GTS is smaller ? Thanks
It's the same size 2.9 turbo as the flagship Macan turbo but it is detuned however it is not that much slower. You wouldn't notice the differences unless you were passing over 100 m.p.h. It's the best handling of the 4 iterations as well and the most fun to drive of all 4 Macans offered.
I've always like the GTS trim of all Porsches but I wish they offered all the blacked out trim as an option or at least offer the regular look. I'm sure I'm of minority but the blacked out everything isn't really an 'upgrade' for me. I like the how you can build a Macan S up to a GTS spec but the 2.9L V6 sounds like the tuners choice!
Are all the trim levels with airbag systems? I do a lot of highway driving, approximately 40,000 per year. And wonder the longevity. Would it be better suited with a fully loaded SQ5? Or a BMW X5? Thanks in advance.
Not sure about other markets. For Canada the air suspension is standard. In Europe I believe it’s an option. 40,000 a year is a lot! Air suspension would feel nice for longer trips for sure. I haven’t tried the SQ5 but have tried the X5 which is really nice but quite a bit bigger than the Macan. If you want to feel like you’re driving a sports car with awd and 5 doors, the Macan is your machine.
Great video! Love the macan but with two teenage kids not sure if the back seat is comfortable enough for long road trips and if the trunk has brought room.
Always good review. I had a chance to drive the prefacelift Macan gts for four days. I love It! Love those many buttons. In us, we don’t have Audi RS 4 avant. Macan GTS is the closest substitute.
I have the ''old '' Macan GTS .Iv been driving it for 3 years now .Personally i think that new back looks horrible and it makes the car look like it has a droopy ass .Headllights also look horrible (even the highest trim). It handles really well (if u dont go near the limit because the front starts loosing grip and the car understeers)The back seats are not so comfortable for ppl over 1.80cm. and it is a bit dark and cramped. The sound is great but it could be just a little bit lounder. Aceeleration wise it is great but not mind blowing ,but considering the HP it is amazing .It can blast much more powerfull vehicles. Not the best car for longer jorneys (expecially with the sportiest seast with alcantara:NEVER GET THEM.) I think it is not a proper SUV nor a sports car but it manages to combine the 2 worls in an unique way. Overal opinion after 3 years of constant usage :There are some quite anoying things in the car but overal i am very happy with it ,still having fun and puts a smile on my face.Thats the first car that after 3 years still makes me feel great and i turn around to look at it when i have it parked .
Was never a fan of the old Macan, but I love the changes/upgrades Porsche has made on this new one.
Great review! I’ve just got a new crayon colour GTS for my wife. Exchanged from our previous version of Cayenne. It is a great car!

2:34 They do come with standard 8 way adjustable but, just to be clear, those are the 18 way adjustable seats.
You are correct. They did not have a car that had the 8 way seats at the time.
Nice video !

Yes the same I believe

I always like your reviews, Thumbs Up.

Great vid, thanks. GTS also gives you painted front lip, side skirts, and rear lower bumper. Those are all extra on the S.

It's under warranty. Love my air suspension.
Great job, it's my next car hopefully and not too far away. Greetings fron Queensland Australia. :-)
Great video! Love the macan but with two teenage kids not sure if the back seat is comfortable enough for long road trips and if the trunk has brought room.
You'd be better off with the Cayenne with the larger kids.
I have one ... it’s too small for regular back seat use. Very little storage capability. It’s basically still a small sports car.
How does it compare to previous Macan GTS handling and steering wise?
Similar for sure but nicer engine with more power and torque.
Always good review. I had a chance to drive the prefacelift Macan gts for four days. I love It! Love those many buttons. In us, we don’t have Audi RS 4 avant. Macan GTS is the closest substitute.
I love it as well. The 2.9 twin turbo is such a good engine.
Any thoughts on Macan gts v Jaguar f pace svr apart from the size difference. Great videos btw
Excellent commentary
Great video, awesome scenery. Wish the GTS had a bit more HP with that engine, but overall looks awesome.
It’s funny how they can tune that engine to have so many different applications. Yes it can make more power for sure.
great video
Why does the car color you’re driving keep changing?
Using footage that I didn’t take. I can’t drive and film myself driving 😎
Think I'm going for this next!
Thinking myself as well I’m just wondering is it better to finance this I usually keep my cars long term
Gotta love the 5:12 historical reference and honor paid to the 951s of the past. Coincidence? Anybody else catch that one????
Don't answer if you can't talk about it but are you going to be the new host of Driving Television?
A great review of a great car!

It’s pronounced ma-chan. It’s Indonesian for Tiger. A c in Indonesian is always a “ch” sound. A hard c would be spelled with a k. Just saying....
wtf is up with the music????? Is this a kids program?
