2026 Porsche Macan GTS Review, Pricing, and Specs

Specs See all specs Seating 5 Seats Powertrain Gas Drivetrain All-Wheel Drive Limited Warranty 4 Years/50,000 Miles Overview Every Porsche Macan feels like a sports car trapped in a luxury compact crossover body, but the GTS takes that formula to the limit. Brandishing a 434-hp twin-turbo V-6, all-wheel drive, and a 60-mph sprint time of just 3.5 seconds, the Macan GTS's Carrera-rivaling specs only tell part of the story. Its ultra-responsive steering is something that you have to feel to believe, and its chassis is tuned to get the most out of backroad antics. While rivals like the BMW X3M and Mercedes-AMG GLC-Class offer more slightly more cargo capacity, neither of those models can match the GTS's athleticism. What's New for 2026? It has been a while since the Macan GTS received a notable update, and that trend continues into the 2026 model year. Pricing and Which One to Buy The price of the 2026 Porsche Macan GTS starts at $93,250. Macan GTS $93,250 0 $25k $50k $75k $100k $125k $150k The Macan GTS comes well-equipped with performance goodies right out of the gate, but we think the SUV's luxury is a bit lacking. So, we'd order the Premium Plus package, which includes a panoramic sunroof, heated and ventilated 14-way adjustable front seats, and a 14-speaker Bose stereo system. Want to compare the 2026 Porsche Macan GTS to other vehicles you're interested in? Our new compare tool provides a comprehensive, side-by-side look at up to five cars of your choice. Compare Cars Engine, Transmission, and Performance Although the base Macan (reviewed separately) is available with a turbocharged four-cylinder, going with the higher-performance GTS gets you a much more powerful 434-hp twin-turbo V-6. Several rivals offer even more power, including the 505-hp Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio and the 503-hp BMW X3 M Competition. Despite the disadvantage in power, though, the Macan GTS feels like the more accomplished option thanks to its crisper handling and more communicative helm. 0–60-MPH Times The Macan GTS delivered an impressive 3.5-second 60-mph time at our test track. That's quick, but so is the slightly less powerful Macan S, which did the same in 3.8 seconds.

Without any significant changes, the newest model should achieve similar results. We'll update this section with updated EPA estimates and results from our 75-mph real-world highway fuel economy test when they become available. For more information about the Macan GTS's fuel economy, visit the EPA's website. Interior, Comfort, and Cargo While entry-level Macans can be a bit too spartan for their price, the GTS model comes with more niceties such as leather upholstery, aluminum trim, and heated front seats. Still, those seeking an SUV with a plusher cabin may find the Genesis GV70 more appealing. The Macan GTS aims for maximum fun, with well-placed controls, good outward visibility, and a comfortable driving position. Its cargo hold isn't as large as some of its rivals, but when has buying a Porsche ever been a rational choice? We fit six carry-on bags in the cargo bay and 16 with the rear seats folded, which should be enough for most people. View Photos Porsche Infotainment and Connectivity Porsche's infotainment system offers all manner of high-tech features, including standard Apple CarPlay and a wireless charging pad. Still, as with nearly everything on the Macan's equipment list, the best features cost extra. Upgrading to the 14-speaker Bose audio system adds $990, and the even more powerful 16-speaker Burmester stereo is a whopping $5690 option. USB ports and 12-volt outlets dot the cabin, so driver and passengers alike should be able to keep their devices fully charged. With the standard mobile Wi-Fi package onboard, the family data plan might be able to escape a road trip unscathed too. Safety and Driver-Assistance Features The Macan GTS is available with a wide array of driver-assistance technology, but almost none of it is standard. For information about the Macan's crash-test results, visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) websites. Key safety features include: Standard lane-departure warning Available automated emergency braking Available adaptive cruise control Warranty and Maintenance Coverage Porsche's warranty coverage is good but not great. The BMW X3 M and the Jaguar F-Pace SVR offer greater coverage in certain areas. Limited warranty covers four years or 50,000 miles Powertrain warranty covers four years or 50,000 miles Complimentary maintenance covers one year or 10,000 miles Specifications Specifications 2022 Porsche Macan GTS Vehicle Type: front-engine, all-wheel-drive, 5-passenger, 4-door wagon PRICE Base/As Tested: $81,250/$104,410 Options: GTS Sport package, $12,010; Python Green paint , $2910; Surround View, $1200; adaptive cruise control, $990; BOSE speakers, $990; thermal and noise insulated glass, $920; Lane Keep Assist, $700; Lane Change Assist; $700; heated steering wheel in Race-Tex, $680; wireless charging, $580; heated front and rear seats, $570; LED headlights in Black, $520; Self Steering ParkAssist, $390 ENGINE twin-turbocharged and intercooled DOHC 24-valve V-6, aluminum block and heads, direct fuel injection Displacement: 177 in3, 2894 cm3 Power: 434 hp @ 6600 rpm Torque: 405 lb-ft @ 1900 rpm TRANSMISSION 7-speed dual-clutch automatic CHASSIS Suspension, F/R: multilink/multilink Brakes, F/R: 15.6-in vented, cross-drilled, carbon-ceramic disc/14.6-in vented, cross-drilled, carbon-ceramic disc Tires: Pirelli P Zero Corsa PZC4 F: 265/40R-21 101Y NE0 R: 295/35R-21 103Y NE0 DIMENSIONS Wheelbase: 110.5 in Length: 186.1 in Width: 75.9 in Height: 62.8 in Passenger Volume: 96 ft3 Cargo Volume: 17 ft3 Curb Weight: 4332 lb C/D TEST RESULTS 60 mph: 3.5 sec 100 mph: 9.4 sec 1/4-Mile: 12.1 sec @ 112 mph 130 mph: 17.5 sec 150 mph: 27.7 sec Results above omit 1-ft rollout of 0.2 sec.
