Yes, an all-electric Macan is coming for 2024, but until then, get one of this fabulous petrol powered Macan's while you can. We expect this car with the Sport Chrono Package to sprint to 60 mph in well under 4 secs. Would you guys wait for the electric one or get one of these right now?
I just custom ordered a 23 Macan GTS, excited to get this car. Miami Blue with beige interior with GT design 21 satin platinum wheels with all other goodies. Can’t wait for delivery in November!
@@johngalt5411 the allocations are tight for sure because of the shortage and the boat burning. Some dealers have ADM and some don’t. BUT there’s a big waitlist for no mark-up so get on it asap! Taycan and 911’s custom ordering is a 2 year wait.
@@OM_42 Yup, Porsche knows many of its buyers will fight tooth and nail not to pay employees $15/hour, but will gladly spend $1,000 on color seatbelts or 'designer' logos within the cabin. In fact, if you ticked every box I bet you could easily get this Macan past $120K.
Porsche is inconsistent, which I find very confusing when shopping their various models. Some GTS trims include Chrono, some do not. Some give you access to Sport+ through the menus w/o Chrono some do not, bizarre.
Cherry pick options from the Premium Pkg (I selected BOSE & the Panoramic roof), add Sport Chrono and that beautiful leather interior and you can get into this for $90K.
I had a 2016 Macan S and enjoyed driving it. The things I noticed about it was it did have some turbo lag until it hit above 2,000 rpms. I ended up selling it and now have a 2018 BMW x3 m40i, which is faster but doesn't have the same cornering and poise the Macan had as far as driving dynamics. Porsche's definitely seem to be head turners versus BMW but that's not what I bought either for. I wanted more power and the M40i seems faster than the 2018 Porsche GTS and as fast as the turbo for that year, but for much less money.
Love it. I would get this Macan if I wasn't getting a Rivian. Love the looks and the performance - hate the MPG. I sometimes drive aggressively, I would be filling this up at least twice a week. I sure I would get about 14 MPG on a good week; but I would be having fun - so It's all good.
Another great review Sofyan!! Thanks for sharing. These are one of the cars that I'm considering for my wife. If it's being refreshed to electric and this is the last gasoline-powered car, we may need to consider getting one soon before they disappear. Hey there's a red Type R there 19:37
What shocks me is that fords 3.5 twin turbo ecoboost gets one mpg better yet has a lot more torque, it does make a little less horsepower but also weighs quite a bit more and isn’t as aerodynamic. The way I feel is that when you pay the hefty porche price this engine should have gotten a couple mpg better than a heavier truck is all
10:34 Actually on the new PCM 6.0 infotainment system that Porsche is rolling out to all their new models including this one finally features Android Auto, I think it’s wireless too.
I love this car, but I might be the only one that dies not like the GTS back of this vehicle lol. I much rather prefer the better flow of the other models
My fav compact SUV but it’s too small for my 6’-3” frame. The cargo area is paltry and sloping roof makes it worse. Porsche should make this car slightly bigger inside nd reduce the rear roof rake a bit. They must reduce curb weight too. Can’t wait to see the new one 👍
I've been driving my 2015 Macan S for 6 years.. I'm 6ft7 with no issues with leg room at all, I can even allow a small child to sit behind me if needed for short trips.
@@glucia2223 Porsche claims 4,5 sec. but that wasn't my question. This here is a turbo engine and the GT3 engine is a natural aspirated high revving one, and I was just curious, how this configuration in an SUV would sell.
@@0Turbox Porsche always undersells their time and they also give that number without the Sport Chrono package. It is 3.5 on a GTS with sport chrono. And wasn’t trying to be a jerk. Was just really wondering if anyone else would need anymore power. This is super car speed in a large body. Anymore power would probably be overkill and not really usable. But I get your point/question on a naturally aspirated engine. The only Performance SUV that I can think of it has a naturally aspirated engine is the jaguar F pace SVR. It’s a big and beautiful V8, but still slower than a GTS.
Although fast and really good looking I think the market for a sport suv at 90k is really dwindling. A Tesla would absolutely demolish this with no gas needed. Someone please help me understand who buys this gas hog in 2022 and beyond…
I can't afford a Macan (or a Tesla for that matter), but if I could, I'd take Porsche's build quality over Tesla's any day of the week and twice on Sunday. I'd also be willing to bet that this drives way better than any Tesla. There's more to driving than just insane 0-60 times. Ride quality matters.
I can’t afford either but I would never recommend a Tesla who wants a boring car Tesla’s are only cool for their straight like acceleration and all the tech which is gimmicky. They’re also Lowkey the best electric car manufacturer however the competition is catching up. Every Tesla looks the same no options besides autopilot and one wheel option. 5 colors 2 interior colors so boring and common. Porsches are unique because they have so many different configuration options and so many different colors and materials on the exterior and interior. Porsche will hold its value more long term probably be more reliable, and you’ll enjoy it more than a Tesla each time you drive it. You don’t even look cool driving a Tesla you look like a nerd. Driving a Porsche you look sexy in a way. Besides the Tesla has horrible build quality while Porsche has excellent quality. It’s night and day Porsche is superior
As someone who owns a 2022 cayman gts 4.0 and a 2023 macan gts… so far you have said the macan looks like a cayman… ummm not even CLOSE… then you said it’s drives like a cayman… like… W. T. F. are you talking about? I mean the macan gts handles very well, but a similarly equipped cayman handles so much better. You should stick to things you understand. Decent review fwiw. Also the manual mode moved from the shifter to the left hand side of the steering wheel.
That's exactly why I asked. Most people get overwhelmed in their jobs or careers. Lawyers, Executives, and the like. And I don't believe that question was for your response, respectfully of course.
I'll wait for the EV version. I'd like a Taycan GTS Sport Turismo, but wish it were taller. Ergo a Macan EV. I imagine the EV GTS will come out a year after the base model does.
Does anybody know why Porshe refuses to add Android Auto to their cars? They are literally alienating 50% or so of the population who have android phones, I dont get it. Someone please fill me in...
Crazy thing is I don’t think any on their vehicles have a digital which is unacceptable. I was debating between Audi or an Porsche a couple months back but had to go with the Audi.

I have a 2017 GTS. It has sport Chrono, but I never use launch control. Frankly, I could live without it, but it helps resale value.
I know I say this every year...
And this year is no exception lol
Awesome reviews, great and simple videography, and unmatched witty banter.
I love that interior color OMG. But Porsche needs to update the interior honestly
It should of had a fully digital instrument cluster for the price.
The Taycan and new 911 style interiors will slowly make its way throughout the Porsche lineup.
They most likely will when the electric Macan comes out
For $250 add A PEDAL COMMANDER. I have one on my 2017 Macan S and it's a game changer. Best money ever spent on any of my car upgrades.
Thanks Sofyan for reviewing my favorite Porsche SUV and also I will be planned to afford one of these SUV'S like this someday.
Cherry pick options from the Premium Pkg (I selected BOSE & the Panoramic roof), add Sport Chrono and that beautiful leather interior and you can get into this for $90K.
That macan looks 🔥🔥🔥🔥 it's high up the styling looks great
That interior is beautiful.
when the only downside is the price, you know you got something special
It was a great way to get a chance for your reference and the way that the people in the world of a new one of the best ways
Just placed an order for a Macan S, Can't wait to take delivery.
How much did it come out to?
@@nero9985 I did not go crazy with options so pretty close to $80K

I only don't like the touch on the middle console.
Mazda CX-5 is better and a lot cheaper
@@phatgringo2.0 😱
Mine is Black with Satin PPF, front end looks very good with that extra expense.
Test drove one of these today…didn’t blow me away like the Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio.
I was surprised to see it had the power tilt/telescoping steering column, it’s one option that was removed because of the supply chain issues.
Yeah, I think this must be an older 2022 press car he’s driving. AFAIK, 2023s will also be missing the power columns.
Anybody else not a fan of the black 'lipstick' on the front?
Yes, looks like some kind of S&M mask…white does exacerbate it. The 20/21 GTS was better looking.
you can option that a few ways
Nah looks 🔥
Too much plastic and cheap looking
Looks Gothic
Excellent review. You rock boss!
The first iteration of the Macan has the best design in my opinion. This one looks like it’s wearing black lipstick.
Love the MACAN.. Love the color as well.. Great Video, Sofyan!!!
Love everything about this auto! Except price…. I cannot afford it! Lol
Very Nice Bro! Get Good People!

10:34 Actually on the new PCM 6.0 infotainment system that Porsche is rolling out to all their new models including this one finally features Android Auto, I think it’s wireless too.
Not so.
Makes no sense for a GTS trim car to not have Sport Chrono, that's supposed to be included
Clearly NEEDS more speed to get this to the dealer quicker i.e. Check Engine Light!
The GTS model is now the 'top dog' in the range, btw 😂
could you please review Cayenne platinum 2023 ? Would love to get your perspective on the car....
Does anyone know if Macan GTS pre-2022 come standard with PSE? Or did that only take place once GTS replaced Turbo in ‘22
Am I only the only person that thinks the rear cup holders would suck because your elbow would go in? The could have taken the style from the q5.
There's Porsche engineering and then there's automobile engineering
love this car. Will buy 2023 GTS after chip shortage issue.
better order now
I love this car, but I might be the only one that dies not like the GTS back of this vehicle lol. I much rather prefer the better flow of the other models
This car is fitted with the best tires Michelin‘s are the best tires
I don’t like the front at all I don’t care for the grill. know the headlight design is a tradition but they need to do something different.
Are you reviewing the 992 GT3 or the 718 GT4RS?
Nice. 👍
for a $100k car, why would you get the gt steering wheel for couple hundred bucks? Much better feel
I thought the 2023s started production this July with August delivery so this is a 2022?
S and GTS is exactly the same in terms of engine -- just not tuned to 434.
Acceleration and handling is practically identical to the S. This is all Porsche marketing bs. They underrated the S's hp figures
Surprised that reviewers compare Macan to X3 when it’s clearly the X4 M Comp that’s the direct competitor
They will offer both. Not just gonna have an electric
2022 0r 2023?
What I don't like is the design of the Macan and the Cayenne Coupe from the road look the same basically.
Nice interior for a nice fat car
I think the front is ugly now. I agree with Sofyan.
Front looks great.
please review the cayenne gts
that gauge cluster is a huge disappointment for a car at that price point.
