2024 Porsche Macan GTS
Starting at $88.450
Highs: Maximizes back-road thrills, roomy enough for family use, potent powertrain.
Lows: Not as cargo-friendly as competitors, rear-seat headroom is tight for adults, requires deep pockets to obtain.
Verdict: Porsche's sports-car spirit meets family practicality in the Macan GTS.
Overview
Once a niche automaker catering exclusively to sports-car buyers, Porsche has reinvented itself over the past few decades by practically pioneering the performance SUV niche. The 2024 Macan GTS is a perfect example of how Porsche has applied its sports-car formula to a high-riding hatchback crossover. A twin-turbo V-6 is standard and makes 434 horsepower; it comes with all-wheel drive and hits 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds. That straight-line speed nicely complements the SUV's agile handling. The Macan GTS is so well-balanced on a twisty road that you forget you're driving an SUV by the time you're exiting the first corner. Consider us charmed: we've given the Macan GTS another 10Best award for 2024. There are downsides though: The Macan GTS's swoopy roofline cuts into rear-seat headroom, and rivals such as the BMW X3 M and the Jaguar F-Pace SVR haul more cargo. Still, the Macan GTS is unmatched when it comes to driver satisfaction, so we've included it on our 2024 Editors' Choice list.
What's New for 2024?
The Macan GTS sees one singular change for 2024: A wireless smartphone charging pad is now standard. Otherwise, the top Macan is as awesome as it was last year.
Pricing and Which One to Buy
The price of the 2024 Porsche Macan GTS starts at $88.450.
Macan GTS: $88,450
The Macan GTS comes well equipped with performance goodies right out of the gate, but we think the SUV's luxury is a bit lacking. So, we'd order the Premium Plus package, which includes a panoramic sunroof, heated and ventilated 14-way adjustable front seats, and a 12-speaker Bose stereo system.
Engine, Transmission, and Performance
Although the base Macan (reviewed separately) is available with a turbocharged four-cylinder, going with the performance-oriented GTS unlocks a much more powerful twin-turbo V-6. The engine makes 434 horsepower, which helped the Macan GTS deliver an impressive 3.5-second 60-mph time at our test track. Several rivals offer even more power, including the 505-hp Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio and the 503-hp BMW X3 M Competition. Despite the disadvantage in power, the Macan GTS feels like the more accomplished option thanks to its crisper handling and more communicative helm.
