Porsche SUVs. Choose your weapon wisely.

Within the last 7 month bought a 2024 Macan base. Then my wife bought a 2023 S. The power difference was so significant that I traded the base, at great expense, for a 2022 GTS. The GTS was by far worth the cost. Thanks for the video !

[@mikerusznak]

Yeah I bet from a base to GTS! Huge. 👍🏼

After 3 months of research I found a 2024 Macan GTS in chalk. I have factory hitch, it’s 2in and towing capacity is 4400lbs. Love it.

[@mikerusznak]

Thank you for clarifying towing capacity. Curious what do you tow?

[@rejeanpaquet4375]

@@mikerusznak I don’t tow at the moment but it’s good to know I have the capability for a small utility trailer for short distance. PDK is not so recommended for towing. Right now I’m using it for my 2 e-bike hitch rack.

Although Macan GTS needs another refresh with more modern features, it is sportier and much closer to reflect Porsche heritage than the latest Cayenne. It has the traditional key fob on the left with mechanical instruments panel and traditional mechanical shifter.

💯👍🏼

I own a 2023 Macan GTS. I recently drove a loaner from our Porsche dealer. It was a base Cayene and it is much higher off of the ground and drives like it. It was a pleasant car to drive but there is a chasm of difference between the two vehicles. My wife expresses it well, the GTS “it is a sports car with a hatchback.” I love my Macan GTS for every minute that that I drive.

[@mikerusznak]

💯👍🏼 your wife gets it.

[@JamesKromer-c2l]

My wife does get it!! She drives a 2022, Miami Blue, Macan S. Be well

[@emcmanamna]

Thank you for answering the question I was always wondering. :)

[@mikerusznak]

Glad it was helpful! 👍🏼

[@jeffscott2246]

They need a Macan GT3 🤙🏽😛

[@mikerusznak]

Ha! 9000rpm in a Macan would be awesome 👍🏼

[@blakeeverts7075]

Another great comparison, both awesome choices, but I think I prefer the Macan

[@mikerusznak]

I can’t drive a Macan GTS without smiling 👍🏼

[@Neomet010]

Very good points. I really prefer driving the Macan GTS but we have two 45lb aussies that come everywhere with us. I don't like having the back seats folded down to carry them so we ended up with a Cayenne S. Nice vehicle, but I would never call it nimble after driving a Macan. Our next will probably be a GTS Cayenne. Agree with you on the red. Guards Red in particular, but the Carmine is a nice color as well. Thanks for the video!

[@mikerusznak]

I’m sure the dogs appreciate the space. 👍🏼 is it a 24 S?

[@Neomet010]

@ Actually a ‘20 with the V6. With Covid I just have not put many miles on it. :-)

[@TTT-1961.]

OK, in fairness, the reason you sell more of these than anything else is because there is a supply issue; Porsche makes the 911 hard to get and they make the SUVs easy to get.

[@brianfromthirty]

also most people are looking for cars they can use daily. theres probably more guys with families shopping at Porsche than rich single guys looking for a daily.

[@Marc-nc9yv]

I’m torn between the new Cayenne GTS and Audi RSQ8 performance I’ve loved my cayennes in past but for same price in Audi I get 140 hp more and carbon ceramics standard.

[@mikerusznak]

Yeah, that’s a tough choice. Have you driven both?

[@allahyarnejad4797]

Let’s cut the bs. You are buying an Audi in drag. Both motors are absolute nightmares. The 4 liter and 2.9 are nothing but plastic fantastic and the prolific use of Audi engines will absolutely destroy the reliability.
