This is a Motormouth couple car review of the updated 2022 Porsche Macan GTS high-performance luxury SUV. The GTS turns up the fun factor with a twin-turbocharged 2.9L V6 and a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, 434 horsepower and 405 lb-ft of torque. This GTS has the same engine that powered last year’s Turbo model giving it an extra 59 horsepower and 22 lb-ft of torque. Standard AWD and premium fuel is required. The GTS doesn’t disappoint, in my opinion, it is one of the best high-performance crossovers available. It’s responsive and engaging but also practical, you get the versatility of a crossover with the performance of a sports car. It comes standard with adaptive air suspension and Porsche active suspension with available Porsche torque vectoring plus and the sport chrono package. Standard exterior features include, high gloss black accents, summer tires with 21” RS Spyder wheels, red brake calipers, LED headlights with Porsche dynamic light system and a 19” collapsible spare tire. Our test model has the available carbon fibre side-blades and 21” black GT design wheels. The interior of the Porsche macan has some big changes, the hard buttons are replaced by touch capacitive buttons on a piano black trimmed centre console and a new sport steering wheel. These changes bring the design up to par with other Porsche models. The Porsche Macan GTS comes standard with a 10.9” touchscreen, a 4.8” instrument cluster, wireless Apple Carplay, Android Auto is not available, a GTS leather package with Race-Tex in black, heated steering wheel, power tailgate and heated 8-way power GTS sport seats, available 14 and 18-way power seats. Our test Macan GTS model in black and Bordeaux red leather has some extra features including, ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, 14-way power seats, a panoramic sunroof and the 14-speaker Bose surround sound system. There is an available Burmester system with a total output of over 1,000 watts and 16 individually controlled loudspeakers. Most features can be added as a la carte items or they are part of a package, you can build this Macan GTS exactly the way you want it, you just have to spend more. The Porsche Macan GTS starts at $85,500 CAD/$82,900 USD. As tested: $109,640 CAD

I just took delivery of my 2022 Macan GTS as a replacement for my 2018 Macan GTS in almost the same spec as the one in this video (Chalk with red interior and all the carbon fiber options). I absolutely love the subtle updates Porsche has made to the 2022 Macan - evolution not revolution. Great video! Love your car reviews, always so informative and enjoyable to watch!!
Great videos guys, your production quality and format are turning out great! Haven't watched a video in a while but I followed you for years when Andrea was just joining you, wow has she become a great car reviewer. Keep it up!
I just got my 2022 GTS last month after going back and forth about whether to get the S Cayenne. I haven’t regretting it for a second. I never use the back seat anyway. I love the perfect balance of seat position and height. It’s just a perfect car.
Congratulations, enjoy!
Pretend Porsche
@@MT-xl8jy have you driven one, to make such a comment?
@@gordonwinter4540 Yeah, @M T sounds like a lot a fun a parties. What a d@ck thing to say to someone you don’t know that just bought a new car they’re excited about. 🙄
Good Man
Always love watching your reviews
You guys bring out all the excitement when you have Porsche to review.
U and Zack, make it exciting to look at cars..👍🏽😉... U guys give the right answers, that one forgets to ask when buying one...WOW ..👌🏽
Great Review and quality as always. It's amazing SUV's now are going that fast.
The GTS variant of any Porsche are always my favorite. From the subtle styling enhancements, to the suspension tweaks and the motor choice it's just a "for sure" thing.
Ha.
The last time I saw a motor it was sitting on our landscaper’s mower.
If I had the money, I would've snapped up one of these before they all go electric; it's just about perfect! Thanks for another brilliant review; I can see your glee when you review a Porsche, especially Andrea's, which I think is adorable :)
Great review, as always 😊❤️👍
My dream car!!!! And you guys really do a wonderful job making it more appealing. Your voices are so genuine and soothing, you could probably sell someone some ocean front property in Arizona 😆
Hi, great review. Do you expect to test the Macan T ? Thanks
The air suspension also accommodates the Macan riding 1" lower than the base & S trims, a GTS feature that rarely gets mentioned.
Good point
ok you guys are the best couple!!! keep it up
Awe thank you so much!
Andrea has become such a speed addict 😊
Another great review...this is an ultra cool 911 for those wanting more utility. My cousin in San Francisco just bought the Macan S and she loves it. I agree with you and Zack, Andrea - this is the end of an era. The E-Macan will be faster, quieter, more contemporary and emissions-free. Having said all of that...do you think there is a market beyond status symbol for this type of vehicle in North America? Other than going to a track I don't see how you could ever enjoy it's potential. Still, a fantastic car and a great review.
Wow! Thanks for this review! My favorite int/ext combination! Little disappointed about the gap between the panels 😢. Maybe a pre-production model? Who knows...
I literally bought a (used) Porsche Macan because of all your wonderful reviews of this vehicle! Thanks you two!
Enjoy!
Thank you so much, glad it was helpful!
Thank you for the review
Just drove a 2022 macan s with air suspension. Drives great for what it is. So many others rave about the handling and act like it’s a sports car. It doesn’t drive anywhere near as good as a sports car because it’s over 4000 lbs and high off the ground. For a crossover it probably drives best in class though.
It’s an SUV so obvs doesn’t drive like a sports car….
I agreed with Andrea on the black rims . Make sure you pick the black ones for all the other 3 seasons and yes Vancouver is beautiful. Zack can have the ugly ones in the winter as we are all miserable at that time 😂
didnt know we had some motor journalists in Vancouver! good to know
Great review. If I decided to get rid of my 911 Carrera it would be for a Macan GTS. Love the red and black leather interior, have it in my 911. Keep making these informative videos. Thanks.
Andrea and Zack - spectacular review as always!
I feel like this is the thing for me to go for if not going for a BMW when updating my 10 year old X3 .
Porsche might be expensive, but BMW and Mercedes have skyrocketed in price over the past years. I don’t think the difference is as big as it was.
Just took delivery of my smoke grey 22 GTS in May. Love this car and optioned it out heavily. Basically my 911 on stilts. Wonderful steering feel and the perfect blend of horsepower and torque for a street ride. The Haptic touch console is no issue for me and most setting are at the steering wheel, so once you set your auto air,suspension hight and auto off….your done. Looks incredible at night. The deviated stitching option is beautiful btw. Nice review . I might note my wife drives an SQ5. Great vehicle…..no contest. 😊
Love my Audi but Porsche is definitely another level! I also love how little the changes are overtime but still keeps their stuff looking modern. 10 yrs from now that car will still look newish😂 👍🏻. One of my good friends use to have a Panamera that thing was clean 😍
How’s ownership going?
Does the gearbox pour oil? Or they improved and now it just drips.
You both do a great job and it's always very entertaining and educational. We bought an S and loved it. Then got a white gts and really wasn't a fan of the color but loved the car. I got stupid and sold it and bought a ford bronco badlands soft top. Hmmm a ford over a porsche. It was way to loud and definitely wasn't a porsche lol so now we are selling the bronco and have a 2023 macan gts on order. Sad thing is we can't get it in Miami blue anymore. So we are planning on getting it wrapped in auratium green. Keep up the great work and thank you
I live both lives…A Porsche 911 and a Tesla M3…I love having both as we take the Tesla on long road trips here in AZ. Of course having the BMW R1200RT motorcycle is the ultimate ride. My wife is looking for an SUV and the Meccan is one to be considered 😂🎉
My dream car!
Can't really afford a 2022 GTS. What do people think between a 2017-18 Macan GTS and a 2022 GV70 3.5? Love the GV70's great infotainment and amazing audio system (test drove one) but I also love a sporty car. Never been in a Macan.
I could not find ACC in the configurator. I love the ACC on my 718 on a long trip.
Love your review, very personable
Would love to see your review of the Cayenne GTS!
Sick 👌🏼
I just realized you guys have stopped "night life" showing the car at night time.. Why was that stopped? Just incase I missed it..
Good review..
Love this macan
What about ventilated seats? Is that an option on these?
Exceptional review!
Thank you so much!
What people don't realize is they may find themselves in a situation where you're wishing your vehicle had more height and capability. That is exactly what happened to me one morning on the way to work where the parkway I use rarely floods. My Q50 barely made it through. While I was hoping my car didn't flood, I was saying to myself my next car will be an suv/cuv.
I really like the style of the reviews you guys do, specially the different segments you have so thanks for that!
I’m considering getting a 2022 Macan S or GTS. I currently drive a 2019 Kia Stinger GT2. Overall I’m a sedan person and handling is important to me. I’ve heard this Macan drives like a sedan. Will I feel a compromise in terms if handling if I get S or GTS since it’s a cross over? Definitely I’m not comparing my car to a Porsche, but Is it worth the $50k difference in price?
The S is the best "deal" in the Porsche lineup and you won't be disappointed
I love the piano black console. Have not noticed dust and fingerprints.
Can’t wait to drive this😍
Thanks for another great review. Another way to compromise on the wheels would be to have black on one side and silver on the other, that would keep your neighbours guessing! :) Does the Sport+ effect performance much, it is it mainly just a different sound? Do you know whether the future EV version will be a new dedicated platform, or will it be built on the same basic chassis as the gas version?
I am a GLC 63 AMG driver. I have driven them all, but. The GLC for me. I am about to trade in, but I am interested in the Macan GTS and have priced it at about $99k US, that is steep, but the GLC has also increased its cost.
Zack wanted it out of sport plus…and Andrea gave him the Heisman and said no way!!!!!
The Macan GTS is a very well balanced sporty SUV that also has the luxury, my wife got a 21 last year before the face lift and removal of physical buttons. To me it's a bit too luxury lol. Always enjoy your enthusiasm driving a Porsche 👍
Thank you so much, glad your wife is enjoying her Macan.
Never heard of winter and summer tyres, I'm guessing coming from Australia we only get Summer tyres
How about that cruising range, 275 miles downhill with a tailwind?
As an enthusiast, I thought it was the power that mattered most. EV's have shown me that it is the sound of power that stirs my soul. After five minutes in an EV, I'm bored, and don't care how fast it is.
What do you drive?
Your President Sleepy Joe wants Gas Prices to be HIGH... so everybody will be FORCED to buy Electric Cars !
If power was everything
Nobody would love the Miata
nice machine...they certainly build a fantastic product...if I could afford one would love to have one...Happy Fathers Day Zach...enjoy😊
Thanks 👍
Besides the comment on vegan leather (Zack) : yes, the sound of an ICE engine like this is what many of us live for !!! You guys rock...
Chalk color is the best color. I hope they still offer it in 2 years when I can afford either this or a Cayenne. (Having just gotten rid of my 2004 Cayenne S, I miss it)
Great review once again, guys!My wife and I could never afford a new Macan, even the base version. We looked at a low mileage base 2018. Still 55k +. Would you recommend a low mileage base 4 cylinder Macan over brand new comparable compact crossovers?
These are very reliable but the maintenance can be high for things like brakes and tires, plus annual service, keep that in mind.
@@Motormouth... Thanks for the info, Zack. Just yearly maintenance can break the bank. Maybe I’ll buy one for my 60th birthday in 5 years!
Maybe get a Lexus or high trim level mainstream vehicle. It’s a nice car but don’t break ur back for it get something that won’t give u any issues and will be closer to ur budget
Fancy!! 😎👍🏼
Call me crazy, but I’m actually thinking about trading my 2022 PDK GT4 for a 2023 Macan GTS with all the performance goodies.
I’m sure most will say I’m crazy, but let me explain…
The GT4 is a 4 wheel strut suspension and with poor PASM damping. I live in CA and it gets so unsettled on anything but perfectly smooth pavement, and that is most roads in CA. It has poor rebound control and the chassis moves around a lot near the limit.
Now you compare to the Macan GTS, which is double wishbone front and multilink rear , better PASM damping AND air suspension and I bet it can carry more speed on crappy CA roads and stay more composed doing it than the GT4. On track different story of course , but I live on the street not on the track.
I don’t think you’re crazy at all. Unless you can afford both or have the space for both, the Macan GTS is a much better all around far than your amazing super car. If I could afford both, I’d gladly have a GT4. But like you said, we don’t live on the track. GTS is doing 0-60 is 3.5 seconds and drives comfortably. Can’t beat it as a daily driver.
There is a Macan T, with a 4cyl engine and the base 4 cyl which has more hip than the base from 2021.
Which roads were those rolling shots filmed on? Looked great
We were near UBC
Why a v6 instead of a flat 6?
I know that you "LOVE" the Macan but which is truly better the Macan or the new Merc GLC? Please advise. 🙂
GLC isn't here yet
Sweet spot GTS MACAN
Great review of this Macan… I’m thinking my wife only needs the S model. And I need the Cayman S. maybe next year
Glad you enjoyed the review. I would be quite happy with the Macan S, it has plenty of power.
Good Morning Mr. and Mrs. Motormouth.. Why do you tease me like this?!?!?!?!? lol You know I love the Macan!!!
Such a fun crossover to drive, we had a lot of fun with this one!
@@andreaspencer9813 By the smiles/Grin you were giving off?? Umm yeah, I'd say you were having PLENTY of fun!!! lol..
Although Zack also loved it.. He is very much into his Cayenne(s). Rightfully so, with the roomier cabin.. With me being a shorter Italian, and an empty nester, The Macan fits me/us, like a glove.. But yes, Always love to see you guys have so much fun(Together) reviewing great vehicles.
@@Kiss__Kiss Thank you so much, we appreciate that!
We have an S model on order. It’s the sweet spot in the 2022 range.
Thanks!
Wow, thank you!
Good car review to tune back into Andrea and Zack, very nice car.
Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed the review!
@@andreaspencer9813 I certainly did enjoy the review Andrea!
If these vehicles has so much power, why is nobody driving 200 km/h + on the highways. It's a waste there is no public roads to utilize a sports vehicle's full potential. OPP in Ontario with impound you just going 160. Please be safe out there. Awesome Porsche Macan, love this model.
So you say🥴
I expect nothing less than a glowing review for a Porsche, especially from this channel. It’s probably the closest you’d ever get to the perfect compact crossover!
Of course…a little bias because they drive one. I would do the same if I was reviewing any Subaru…that’s all I drive.
@@Subie-Driver Amen... Right there with you.. Although we also Drive An Audi, and our weekend Fun is our Lexus GX.. But over all, we love our '20 STI
@@Subie-Driver I think its becasue subaru was only behind honda in American customer satisfaction index in non luxury segment, while porsche topped it in luxury segment
In the reviews I've seen there are little lights constantly flashing while driving---can they be turned off? Those would annoy me.
The human eye cannot see this, it is only the camera that can pick up the lights, no worries...
Would you guys choose this Macan GTS or a X3m Competition?
I have 2 Porsche Macan, yes I prefer the old model with physical buttons
Nice ride, bro. Not bad for the car either😉
sold mine after 8 months of ownership (uk based) for a chunky profit. Great car but everything has its price
Buddy we need to win jackpot😂
This is my dream car , I ready to jump from my BMW , I prefer red colour
oof... empty nester comment really hit home! Love our 18 Macan Sport Edition and just ordered a 23 GTS to sit along side it.
Oh, somebody really enjoys driving this car. (Andrea!)
What about the Maserati grecale ? Is it more premium than this ?
Which is better macan it cayenne
Zack curbed my wheel.... 🤣 jking
Best daily driver ever
ahhhh If I get to choose I will still take the stelvio qv (used)
Please try the Alfa Romeo Stelvio QV 🍀😉🍀
Excellent SUV. I wish black piano wasn't invented in cars :)
The Macan is a stunner...what can ya say it is a Porsche. I think it is not a wise choice to switch the Macan to all electric and not offer a gas engine at all. Not only because I want to get one but I think it will hurt them considering the Macan is their top seller in the US.
I like GTS. However, I do not like the fact that the front spoiler of the GTS is plastic. Therefore, I chose S.
I wanna know if Porsche still uses aluminium bolts on the timing cover of the Macan engines. If yes, expect oil leaks several thousands of miles later. Plus the AWD system is problematic. Having money to configure a Macan doesn't stop there. Have money to maintain it. As for driving dynamics it's a great vehicle.
2019 and newer models have that fixed
You found a day to film when it wasn’t raining?
Can you believe it? Not easy to do these days.... - Andrea
This is a great Porsche. But really it is just the cute little irritating baby kid brother of the Real Deal… the Cayenne. I only have two concerns, its size (unavoidable) and I’m not so keen on these ‘four-point daytime running lights’. They originally looked super cool, but now I’m tired of them and miss the simplicity, the symmetry?, of just the regular Porsche crisp driver focused headlights (I don’t want to sound like a hypocrite because I absolutely love the benefits of Porsche’s dynamic light system plus (PDLS Plus)). Finally, I’m not a big fan of Carbon Fibre - but that’s just good taste. Thanks for the video! Cheers.
The reduced size and weight is actually why I picked it up over a Cayenne. I already have an Audi SQ8 for the family, i wanted the better daily driving dynamics of the Macan GTS vs the Cayenne. Not to mention it’s less $$…
Nice garage! You are obviously covered … at least space wise. I don’t have that luxury. I need the size (2 tallish 6’ teenagers and a dog). My well used ‘87 Carrera is only for driving … sans enfant. and both other ‘cars’ require a roof rack to travel. I have no SUV. For bigger trips, I absolutely love renting (always interesting, always ‘bigger’ and newer). This is why I’d have the bigger Porsche… the Cayenne. My opinion would be definitely different without the kids and dog. It clearly is a spectacular automobile and the smaller size would have its benefits. Especially in the city. Cheers!
Andrea is hella cute 🥰
There is no substitute.
I had always understood that the “S” was the sweet spot in the Macan line up. Especially now that the S has the GTS engine. On a side note, I only see women driving the Macan. Is this basically a soccer mom car?
Great Porsche! You guys are funny. But that’s what you had pay for it. 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for watching!
@@andreaspencer9813 You are an very welcome Andrea! 👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Zack, keep your hands off the wheel while Andrea is driving, it makes you a back seat driver.
Front seat actually
Why do you say "car is up here" and not put the link bro
It is there.
@@Motormouth... ahh i see it on the desktop now thanks sir 🙏👍
🔝🔝🔝
Don’t like the new style rear light lights and the black plastic exterior trim looks naff.
Don’t hit the biker! 😂
109K? My dreams of owning one just got washed away down the drain. Time to survive off of Cup O' Noodles and tap water and 20 years of saving just to afford one of these.
Terrific car but a bit expensive for what it is
Don't be surprised if car makers add performance "sound" to their high performance electric lineups.
