    Porsche used to be known as the 911 company. The Cayenne put an end to that, and so did the Taycan, both of which have comprehensively out-sold the iconic 911 sports car in Australia this year.
    But if you’re looking for the model that really matters to Porsche in the modern era, it’s this one, the just-updated Macan, which outsells its nearest sibling by a factor of two to one in this market.
    So yes, it’s important to Porsche. Which is why a heap of work has been done here to make this updated version more powerful and tech-savvy. There are new engines, new equipment and more performance, as well as an updated new look.
    Porsche has pushed up the prices, yet still left out one crucial safety item as part of the standard equipment list. Has the Stuttgart sports-car brand done enough with this facelifted SUV? Can it compete with the likes of the Audi Q5 and Sportback, Mercedes GLC and Coupe, and the BMW X3 and X4?
    Our man Andrew Chesterton has all the info you need to know.

    I've had more than a dozen Porsches including two Macan's, currently have a 2020. A phenomenal car. Kick ass styling and kick ass performance. It's my winter car.

    Great review! Only thing I’d say is you can’t compare the pricing of a 2022 GTS to the price of the 2021 GTS because the 2022 version has replaced the turbo. In the US the price for the flagship model has decreased $5,000 from last year

    The Macan S was always the best choice in terms of usable performance, looks (marginally different) and price (unreasonable high). Despite the Turbo is more powerful, in real life traction issues limit power exploitation two-third of the time (few exceptions in summer).
    What I miss in in this facelifting ( to smooth the introduction of the new generation) are revised seats like in the Cayenne, current one are quite old-style and do not match with Porsche vision. Definitely a marketing choice to avoid jeopardization with the upcoming versions ...

      I have air suspension on my S. In Sport+ mode it's pretty firm. Too floaty for me in regular mode. Sport mode is acceptable, but I'm in lowered and S+ 99.9% of the time.

    No rear aeb, no heads up display, terrible voice control commands, poor safety integration and $3k option for basic safety options. I really want to like the Macan S and even buy one but Porsche are really taking us as fools with the lack of a safety rating and safety equipment.

    As soon as you start adding options to the S, the GTS makes more sense and is only slightly dearer

      The launch GTS where I live was advertised at nearly $170K aud the launch S came in at just under $140k that’s still a significant difference.
      Both had really good options added like panorama roof.

    That’s all well and good, but Porsche is a sneaky mob. If you want ANY added extras that are basically standard in most luxury brands you pay - and you pay through the nose.
    Case in point: I designed an S model with some basic additions I’d expect in a luxury car and the DAP was >$170,000.00…… that’s far, far too much for a mini SUV….

    • @macans5010
      @macans5010 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      You must have ticked every single option incl paint to sample to get a Macan S up that high. I have a fair number of options on my S (PASM + Airsusp, 18way, torque vectoring, 20" etc) and it was half that.

    • @macans5010
      @macans5010 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Going through the configurator I could not get it above 130K. That includes options that you'd likely never put in an S, since they come included cheaper in a GTS.

    Every Aussie reviewers seem to say the same thing - the S is the sweet spot. I genuinely do not think that the base S without any option is the Macan to get - $100,000+ just for the badge. It’s like buying an A1 and tell everyone you drive an Audi 🤦🏻‍♂️
    Add the options that most Porsche buyer would and the S is no longer as sweet a spot as the GTS in my opinion. GTS all the way or save up a little bit longer to get one.

    • @shenteke2001
      @shenteke2001 ปีที่แล้ว

      I agree - once optioned the price isn't that far off and there are a few exclusive aesthetics you cannot get on the S either. I'd get the GTS over the S and fork out the extra $ hah. It's more I can't decide between a base Cayenne with some options vs. Macan GTS and how much space I can compromise T_T

    Wow 😮 now I understand why used vehicles are so expensive now. The prices are insane and not worth it especially for the basic model. With options you then go to another level of insanity. Performance is not good either. While the ride quality is excellent the ICE has no business being there. Too dam slow for a Porsche. The Tesla model Y long range will zip of the line just as good for 20k less and spend an extra 2k and you will blow the doors of a gts macan. We now see who inflation ruins everything
