I've always thought of the Porsche Macan as a small SUV. Relatively speaking, it is, because the Cayenne is the big one in Porsche's SUV lineup. And compared with a Lincoln Navigator or a Range Rover or a BMW X7 or countless others, it is rather diminutive. But then I looked at the spec sheet for this new GTS and was surprised to find that it isn't actually that much smaller or lighter than its peppery sibling. It weighs the better part of 4,400 pounds, which is only about 200 pounds shy of a Cayenne with the same engine.
With regards to the GTS and its 2.9-liter, turbocharged V6, the output is surprisingly tame given the hefty curb weight. Power is quoted as 375 horsepower between 5,200 and 6,700 rpm, while torque is 383 pound-feet from 1,750 rpm. Not bad numbers, mind you, but an Audi RS4 and even the best hot hatches (which weigh about 25% less than a Macan) have a power figure beginning with a 4. In fact, it places the GTS in a slight no man's land below the real performance heavyweights like Mercedes' AMG 63 models and the Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio, but above the second-tier AMG 43 or Audi S models. I realize the Turbo exists at the top of the Macan tree, but the jump to that has now widened when compared with the last generation. Previously there was a 40-hp gap between Turbo and GTS, now it's 60 hp. Surely a GTS badge deserves more?
So, on paper, the Macan GTS doesn't have a very impressive power-to-weight ratio for a performance SUV with a Porsche badge. But things get a little confusing when you look at the 0-to-60-mph time. With Sport Chrono fitted the GTS will hit the historic mark in just 4.5 seconds, which is hardly slow. And things get even more confusing when you drive the GTS down a good piece of road like the one I found in Portugal. From behind the wheel, the GTS not only feels small in terms of its size, it also feels really lively, quick and responsive in the way it accelerates.
The new V6 has moved the turbos inside the V, which shortens the path the exhaust gasses have to travel. The theory is that this should make for a more responsive engine and that's certainly how it feels. Combined with the snappy, seven-speed, dual-clutch gearbox, the GTS really rips through its revs. It feels happiest living in the upper half of the rev range rather than leaning on low-end torque, but if you keep it on boil, then it leaps between corners like a puppy late for lunch.
What's more, the chassis is a perfect match for the engine. I drove a base, 2.0-liter Macan recently, and although it initially felt like it should turn in with real poise, it never quite lived up to the promise. The GTS fulfills that potential. The steering gives you a decent idea of how the front tires are loading and the whole car pivots like a lofty hot hatch. Get on the throttle early and it even feels pleasingly rear-biased as it drives through and out of corners.
The car I tested had the optional 21-inch wheels but the standard steel-spring sport suspension (which rides 15 millimeters lower than that of the base Macan). There is an air suspension option, but I don't think it's necessary from a comfort point of view. I drove on some cobbled streets that had been made even rougher by roadworks and it was as plush as I think you'd ever need. On the more interesting sections of tarmac you do need to set the dampers to their firmest setting, Sport Plus, rather than just Sport, as otherwise bigger undulations can leave you with a bit too much wallow.
Rather pleasingly, you can jump between these and other settings via the myriad buttons on the transmission tunnel. Such a plethora of things to push looks a little old-fashioned given the modern trend for one big touchscreen (there's one of those in the Macan, too), but I think it makes life much easier. The large gear selector looks slightly old-fashioned too, but again works well and is useful for resting your arm on while operating the aforementioned touchscreen. The other standout feature of the interior are the sports seats. Although they look like quite conventional chairs with separate headrests, the bolstering is plentiful and placed perfectly.
The only big disappointment is the sound of the GTS' V6. The previous generation's 3.0-liter V6 had a wonderful voice, but the new one has been muffled, almost certainly by the addition of particulate filters. It's not an unpleasant soundtrack but it is a noticeably thinner noise that lacks depth and complexity. It's a real shame, as it does slightly dampen the whole character of the car.

Porsche has traditionally done more with less in terms of being able to set a fast time on a track or road course. 375hp does seem low for a vehicle of this size and weight (and in the current market) but, just like Porsche cars of the past, keeping the revs up and really using the suspension and handling capabilities to their fullest will really hustle this Macan down the road. It's a recipe that Porsche has been working on for a very long time and they are very nearly perfect at it.

The vehicle you are driving in this video that you show "all these buttons down here" early on, does have the Adaptive Air Suspension. It’s that button with the side view of the car with the arrow pointing down underneath it. I’m fairly certain all Macan GTS variants come with the Adaptive Air Suspension as standard. But a special version that’s 15mm lower than you are able to get on any other trim level. Maybe you can opt out of the Air setup, and specify steel springs. But it would be odd to have that on a press vehicle I would think.

What I don't get is why the Taycan does use a touchscreen for basic controls unlike the rest of its lineup. Same as the VW ID, and the Mazda EV. For some reason, every automaker has decided that an EV needs touchscreens for anything. It makes no sense and it has to stop.

I wouldn’t say there’s a right or wrong choice- the GLC63 is definitely the more wild one with the crazy exhaust and drama.... but it doesn’t drive like the Macan. I’d say drive a Turbo (the GTS will feel considerably slower than your GLC) and see for yourself. But those AMGs are amazing...

The current darling of the motoring journalist anti-SUV brigade is the Audi RS6 which actually has an unladen weight greater than the Macan. However, said scribblers are obsessed with the weight of SUV’s but not estate cars which not so many years ago were rather sniffly referred to as the wheels of choice for Antique Dealers and Travelling Salesmen. New GTS looks good but I’ll stick with my S Diesel and ride the torque.

Is it just me or has it felt like a bit of a dry spell for exciting new car releases. Seems like the same old updates and tweaks to established models or just a variation of a existing model. I can't remember the last time I saw a new car and said WOW!

@n s You have a point..... but when you look deeper at that car it's far less exciting. Turbo in the name? Wicked expensive. Not that great range. It is beautiful though.

Porsche make a wagon. One wagon is enough even though a smaller wagon would be nice. The wagon market has been on the decline since the growth on suv. Another 5 year later maybe but cars will be electric and plug in with decent ish range by then

I understand people buy lots of SUVs, but almost any job people want an suv for (terrain worse than a gravel road excluded) could be done better by a wagon or van.

@@decdeclanlan agree 100% but people are not buying suv for work. Suv are generally smaller(length) which is more practical and better in Europe, America has a pickup culture and asia is a pickup/ suv. I would more likely own a macan than rs4 as someone in the UK ( rs6 is now too expensive and too big)

Task would have been a more apt word for what I meant than job. Length wise a VW Caddy SWB can fit seven seats in a marginally shorter length than a Tiguan can fit five.

i think another reason for the big difference in sound between this one and the 'old' one (which really does make a pretty wonderful sound) is that the old Porsche-developed 3.0 V6 T was a heavily oversquare design, in typical Porsche sports car fashion; probably also explained the powerband. this one, in contrast, is slightly undersquare, in pretty typical VW/Audi fashion. the upside of that is that all the reviews I've seen or read so far make it seem like this one really rips from down low - eager to drive it and see. in the Macan turbo, acceleration testing results are way ahead of Porsche's official numbers. And maybe it will sounds better if the US models come without the GPFs, anyway.

Less obnoxious noise is great. A Ferrari V8 is music, virtually all others, particularly the German V8s aping 1970s American V8s (likely a Stockholm syndrome love response to American occupation) is greasy flatulence. That a V6 doesn’t suffer the same indignity is a huge plus.

Another 2ton plus auto boxed anomaly - the fact that is better than all emotionless EVs is irrelevant. Sport Plus for track :) The jokers plucking your pockets. Must be painful for reviewers of this calibre to have to review this much rubbish. Luxury hotel stays and all Porsche’s PR machine does throw at them must certainly help to easy it out...financed by you and me...

In my limited experience as a Porsche owner, noise was a problem: I wanted a touring sporty car. I wanted to listen to good music on long drives over unchallenging high speed motorways. Having never chased horsepower (being content with 'adequate'), I was concentrated on reasonable ride and superior road holding on the twisty bits.

In the US PASM w/air is standard. Additionally, the video footage you showed while it may not be of the car you were driving was equipped with the PASM w/Air. Was this an overlook Henry or does the Macan GTS in the UK not come standard with Air?

I don't understand why you would make the rear wiper assembly that much more complicated by putting the button for the hatch at the base of where the wiper arm attaches. We've already figured this placement out. Put the button between the license plate lights where the overhang is just like every other sane manufacturer, or where the grab handle for the hatch is.
