2024 Porsche Macan GTS
Starting from $88,450

The 2024 Macan GTS is a perfect example of how Porsche has applied its sports car formula to a high-riding hatchback crossover. A twin-turbo V-6 is standard and produces 434 horsepower; It comes with a four-wheel drive system and reaches 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds. That straight-line speed nicely complements the SUV's agile handling. The Macan GTS is so well balanced on a winding road that you forget you're driving an SUV when you exit the first corner. Consider us fascinated. But it also has its drawbacks: The fast roofline of the Macan GTS pushes the rear seat headroom to the limits of rivals such as the BMW X3 M. The Jaguar F-Pace SVR carries more cargo. Still, when it comes to driver satisfaction, the Macan GTS has no equal.

There's only one change to the Macan GTS for 2024: A wireless smartphone charging pad is now standard. Otherwise, the top Macan is just as spectacular as last year.

The Macan GTS comes well equipped with performance features from the first moment.

Although the base Macan is available with a turbocharged four-cylinder engine, stepping up to the performance-oriented GTS unlocks a much more powerful twin-turbo V-6. Despite the disadvantage in terms of power, the Macan GTS seems to be a more successful option thanks to its faster handling and more communicative steering.

The 2024 Macan GTS carries EPA fuel economy estimates of 17 mpg city and 22 mpg highway.

While entry-level Macans are a little too basic for their price, the GTS model comes with more goodies like leather upholstery, aluminum trim and heated front seats. Macan GTS aims for maximum entertainment with well-placed controls, good outside visibility and comfortable driving position.

Porsche's infotainment system offers all sorts of high-tech features, including standard Apple CarPlay and a wireless charging pad. Still, as with almost everything on the Macan's equipment list, the best features cost extra. Upgrading to a 12-speaker Bose audio system adds $990, and the even more powerful 16-speaker Burmester stereo is a whopping $5,700 option. USB ports and 12-volt outlets are located throughout the cabin; Therefore, both the driver and passengers should be able to keep their devices fully charged. The family data plan can also survive the trip unscathed, thanks to the standard mobile Wi-Fi package on board.
