Used 2023 Porsche Macan SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2023 Porsche Macan is a five-passenger compact SUV available as base Macan, sporty Macan T, twin-turbocharged Macan S and performance-tuned Macan GTS. The Macan and Macan T have a turbocharged four-cylinder engine, while the Macan S and Macan GTS feature a twin-turbocharged 2.9-liter V6 engine. Every Macan has an all-wheel-drive system and a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission with shift paddles, which Porsche calls PDK.

  • Turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (261 horsepower, 295 lb-ft of torque)
  • 19-inch wheels with all-season tires
  • Adaptive LED headlights (swivel as you turn the steering wheel for better illumination in curves)
  • Rain-sensing windshield wipers

  • 20-inch gray wheels
  • 14-inch vented front brake discs with six-piston red aluminum front calipers
  • Sport mode button
  • Partial leather seats with simulated suede inserts

Macan GTS
The top-line GTS comes with:

  • Upgraded brakes (Porsche Surface Coated Brakes, or PSCB)
  • Adaptive air suspension (adjusts the Macan's ride height)
  • Sport exhaust system
  • Darkened headlights and clear taillights
  • GTS Sport front seats

Each Macan is available with option packages. They include:

    • Additional driving modes with control switch on steering wheel
    • Launch control
  • Premium package (not available on Macan GTS)

    • Features from the Premium package
    • Panoramic sunroof
    • Upgraded front seats with ventilation

  • Roof rails
  • Thermal and noise insulated glass
  • Wireless smartphone charging pad
  • High-end 16-speaker Burmester surround-sound system
  • Surround-view camera system (gives you a top-down view of the Macan and its surroundings for tight parking situations)
  • Automated parking system (steers into a parking spot with driver controlling throttle and brakes)
  • Lane keeping assist (steers the Macan back into its lane if it begins to drift over the lane marker)

Which Macan trim does Edmunds recommend?

While the new Macan T is an appealing addition to the lineup, we think the slightly more expensive but significantly more powerful Macan S delivers the best combination of performance, style and personalization while remaining a good value relative to its larger Cayenne sibling.
