2020 Porsche Macan GTS Review, Pricing, and Specs

Overview Some SUVs are built for practicality and others for luxury, but the 2020 Porsche Macan GTS is the rare one that’s purpose-built for driving fun. Sure, it has a rear cargo area and a back seat just like other compact crossovers, but it’s the only one that draws from Porsche’s rich history of sports cars to inspire its driver to push things to the limit. A twin-turbocharged 2.9-liter V-6…

Porsche Macan GTS 2020 UK review

This is our second encounter with the recently updated version ofPorsche's formidable Macan GTS– but the first in the UK.Our initial drive of this sharper, more focused take on Stuttgart's golden-goose SUV came all the way back in February at the car's international launch. And on smooth, technical Portuguese roads, it reminded us why the Gran Turismo Sport model has beenthe Macanof choice for keener drivers who happen to have families in tow. Now it's landed here in the UK and it's time to find out just how effective it is on bruised and battered British Tarmac.But first, a quick recap onwhat makes a GTS a GTS . The recipe remains pretty similar to last time: introduce a slightly more focused chassis tune; add in a dash of extra visual flair; and give power and torque a modest hike.So you still get a range of tasty visual tweaks that include darkened light housings, See: bluedriver lsb2 pro obd2 scanner. black 20in RS Spyder Design alloy wheels and some glossy black exterior trim pieces - all of which leave the Macan GTS looking suitably meaner than the standard car. The car sits 15mm closer to the ground, too, on a sportier suspension set-up that includes recalibrated adaptive dampers for enhanced levels of response and control. Optional height-adjustable air suspension drops it by 10mm in Comfort setting, but in Sport Plus mode takes it lower even than the coil-sprung Macan GTS. Our test car had it, at a cost of £1044.The most significant tweak, however, relates to how the GTS gets its smattering of additional straight-line punch. Whereas the last car got a gruntier version of the 3.0-litre twin-turbocharged V6 from the Macan S, this one uses the 2.9-litre motor fromthe flagship Turbo . So that it doesn't step on the range-topper's toes, power and torque are capped at 376bhp and 384lb ft, as opposed to the 434bhp and 403lb ft of the Turbo. Even so, that's still 20bhp and 16lb ft more than you got in the last Macan GTS.Just as quick as you'd ever need it to be, that's for sure. It may not be the most powerful Macan out there, but it's unlikely you'll really notice out on the road.Our Sport Chrono Package-equipped car felt every bit as quick as its claimed 4.7sec 0-62mph suggests it should, with its V6 delivering heroic acceleration right through the rev range. Its aggressive and pleasingly feral-sounding snarl is accentuated very nicely by its standard-fit sports exhaust, while the hot-vee positioning of its turbochargers and sharpened seven-speed PDK gearbox deliver swift throttle response and quick-fire shifts.So it's very easy to find yourself travelling really very quickly. And thanks to those suspension tweaks, the fitment ofPorsche'sclever torque-vectoring PTV Plus differential, an accurate, communicative steering rack and rear-biased all-wheel traction, maintaining that pace through corners isn't a task that'll faze the Macan GTS too greatly, either.Faster bends will result in a bit of body roll, even in Sport Plus mode, but such movements arrive in an exceptionally controlled fashion. Grip levels are very high, and the steering gives you a reassuringly clear idea of how the outside tyres are loading up and responding to the surface under wheel. It doesn't feel quite as energetic or immediate in its responses as, say,an Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio , but neither is it uninvolving or dull in the way it reacts to you getting your foot down. In fact, the sense of sure-footedness that underwrites its impressive dynamism only heightens its appeal as an everyday performance SUV.So, too, does its ride quality. There's a firmness, but it never feels agitated or as though it's about to run away from itself on harsher surfaces. In fact, the manner in which you can sense its suspension working to keep its wheels in contact with the road and its body level as you nail it down an undulating stretch of B-road is pretty incredible. As is the fact that it won't make you wince as you hit a rut or bump, even when everything is dialled up into Sport Plus mode.Then when you decide you want to chill out and take it easy, it turns back into a liveable and well-mannered family SUV. There is a small amount of fidgeting that's de...

2020 Porsche Macan GTS review: Emphasis on performance

2020 Porsche Macan GTS review: Emphasis on performance

The GTS looks great in Carmine Red.

Steven Ewing/Roadshow

At this point, GTS in Porsche parlance should just stand for Get This Spec. The company’s GTS-badged cars strike the best balance between outright performance and daily drivability, and that’s as true in this 2020 Macan as it is in any 718, 911, Cayenne or Panamera. I’ve driven the S and I’ve driven the Turbo, but the GTS is the Macan I’d park in my garage.

Like

Outstanding chassis balance

Sports car-like steering

Sonorous sport exhaust

Robust infotainment tech

Don’t Like

Twin-turbo V6 lacks character

Gets expensive in a hurry

The GTS uses a detuned version of the 2.9-liter twin-turbo V6 from the Macan Turbo. Here, the engine produces 375 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque — noticeable reductions compared to the Turbo’s 434 hp and 405 lb-ft. But on the road, you’d have a hard time noticing the difference. This engine lacks visceral drama, though I think that’s less egregious when the associated output numbers are lower. The GTS at least makes up for this somewhat with a standard sport exhaust, which adds some sonority to the powertrain’s buttoned-up demeanor.

Porsche says the GTS can accelerate to 60 mph in as little as 4.5 seconds with the optional Sport Chrono package, which is 0.4 seconds slower than the Macan Turbo. I genuinely don’t believe that less-than-half-a-second discrepancy is something anyone can feel during daily driving on public roads. And since the engine’s torque is fully available from just 1,750 rpm, there’s never a lack of urgency to the GTS’ acceleration, whether pulling away from a stoplight or just trying to shoot the gap between slower cars on the highway.

The seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox is always up for an impromptu downshift via the steering wheel-mounted paddles, and the Sport and Sport Plus modes — the latter is part of the $1,360 Sport Chrono package — alter the throttle and transmission programming just enough to liven up the Macan’s character. You could drive the GTS in Sport mode all day, every day without it ever feeling high-strung, while Sport Plus is best left for tighter sections of winding roads where you’ll want to take advantage of its tendency to hold gears up near the engine’s redline.

The GTS’ powertrain is fine, but the chassis, steering and brakes really make this Macan feel special. Porsche’s adaptive air suspension comes standard and can lower the Macan by 10 millimeters in Sport and Sport Plus modes. Porsche’s Active Suspension Management (PASM) dampers are a perfect match to the air-ride system, delivering a smooth ride on broken pavement while keeping the GTS taut and composed on smooth stretches of canyon roads. Even with my tester’s upsized 21-inch wheels and staggered 265/40 front and 295/35 rear tires, the Macan never feels too stiff or too floaty for any given scenario. Honestly, the ride quality might be the GTS’ single best attribute.

These 21-inch wheels and low-profile ties don’t ruin the GTS’ ride.

Steven Ewing/Roadshow

Porsche always gets its cars’ steering right, and the Macan GTS is no exception. The weight and communication on offer are more akin to that of a 718 Cayman than any other compact SUV, with a right-sized steering wheel adorned with only a few redundant controls. My tester has Porsche’s Surface Coated Brakes (PSCB), which were kind of bad when they first launched on the Cayenne, but have since been reworked with new pads, better pedal feel and a more progressive stopping experience. Now, these brakes are quite good and reduce dust buildup on the wheels. Whether they’re worth the $3,490 upgrade over the perfectly fine standard steel brakes, though, is hard to say.

One option worth adding is Porsche’s brake-based torque-vectoring tech, for $1,500. This ability to modulate power from side to side at the rear axle improves the Macan’s cornering reflexes, making this already-sharp little crossover even more entertaining. You’ll never feel it working, but you’ll find it easier to keep up with smaller, more powerful sports cars on mountain roads.

Going for the GTS gets you the Sport Design exterior treatment, with black-painted exterior accents, LED headlights and a darker tint to the rear taillight bar. Inside, you get sport seats wrapped in leather, though you can have the whole cabin done up in Alcantara suede with Carmine Red stitching as part of the $4,790 GTS Interior Package. Like all Macans, the GTS is plenty comfortable for driver and passenger up front, but the rear seats are awfully small, even by compact SUV measurements.

The PCM infotainment tech is new but the rest of the interior is showing its age.

Steven Ewing/Roadshow

The Macan got a welcome tech upgrade as part of a refresh in 2018 and now runs Porsche’s Communication Management infotainment software on a 10.9-inch touchscreen. PCM continues to impress with its quick responses to inputs, online search tools, bright graphics and reconfigurable home screen. A Wi-Fi hotspot and Apple CarPlay are standard, but Android Auto is still a no-go. Too bad.

Look below the touchscreen, though, and you’ll find a sea of controls on the console — a reminder that the Macan is a bit older than Porsche’s other models. Sure, the rows of buttons are clearly labeled and easy to use, they just look outdated, especially compared to the flush, backlit designs of Porsche’s newer products.

I’d love to tell you about all of the Macan’s standard driver-assistance features, but as is the case with every Porsche, all the good stuff costs extra and is available a la carte. A surround-view camera is $1,200. You can buy lane-change assist and lane-keeping assist for $700 apiece, or just spend $1,380 and get them as part of a bundle. Adaptive cruise control comes in for an additional $1,170, and if you want freaking keyless entry, that’s an extra $800, too. Sheesh.

The Macan is hands-down the best-driving compact luxury SUV.

Steven Ewing/Roadshow

There are myriad options available for the Macan GTS, so its $73,450 starting price (including $1,350 for destination) is just that: the start. My Carmine Red tester is a German-spec model that Porsche flew over for testing, so I don’t have an exact price for the SUV you see here. Playing around to the best of my ability on Porsche’s configurator, I’m going to guesstimate an as-tested price of $94,000 out the door, give or take a few Benjamins.

If you compare price tags, the Macan GTS is sort of a hard sell against competitors like the BMW X3 M40i or Mercedes-AMG GLC43, both of which can be nicely equipped for less than the Porsche’s starting MSRP. But the Macan — especially the GTS — is the best-driving, best-balanced SUV of the bunch and handily punches above its weight. If performance is a priority, you definitely get what you pay for.

Choosing the best OBD-II scanner for Porsche vehicles

In this article, we take a look and review some of the best OBD2 scanners for Porsche. With hundreds of OBD-II scanners on the market, it is overwhelming for many Porsche owners to figure out what is the best OBD2 scanner for Porsche.

While you can diagnose Porsche check engine light with a standard obd2 scanner, you can not diagnose airbag, transmission, and other systems without a scanner that can read Porsche specific fault codes.

Scanners we review here range from $140 up to $700 and can diagnose multiple Porsche systems including Engine, Anti-lock Brake System, transmission, airbag and more.

1. Autel MaxiDAS Professional Scanner

Who is this scanner for?

The Autel MaxiDAS is a professional level diagnostic scanner for Porsche and other makes. While it is the most expensive scanner on this list, it is also the cheapest scanner that you can get that will offer similar functionality to a dealer level scanner. What do we like?

The Autel MaxiDAS can not only access all Porsche systems and modules, but it can also carry out sensor activations, programming and display live sensor data from all the modules.

Another advantage of the Autel MaxiDAS is that it covers almost all makes and makes and is not just for diagnostic Porsche vehicles.

What don’t we like?

This scanner is a bit expensive for Porsche owners who may only use it a couple of times.

If money is not a concern this is without a doubt the best Porsche scanner for the money.

2. Porsche PIWIS

Whos is this scanner for?

PIWIS is a diagnostic scanner for Porsche dealers and mechanics.

Porsche PIWIS is the most powerful diagnostic tool for Porsche vehicles. It is used at Porsche dealerships for diagnosis, troubleshooting, and programming.

It allows you to:

* read/clear error codes, * view live data stream, * any module programming, * perform any component testing, * view maintenance information, * display wiring diagram, * much more.

What do we like?

Porsche Piwis Tester II can help you diagnose and program anything on a Porsche. It works on new and old Porsche vehicles.

New Panamera vehicles can be diagnosed with Porsche Piwis Tester II. What don’t we like?

PIWIS scanner is too expensive and difficult to use. You most likely won’t be able to get a hold of Porsche Piwis unless you are an auto repair shop.

Porsche Piwis 3 Advantages:

* New DoIP Ethernet diagnostic technology, support for models with DoIP diagnostics after 2017. * Multi Languages available for diagnosis: English, US English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese, Russian, Portuguese * Software version: V38.400.000 * New operating system and more intuitive software interface * Maintenance, repair, control unit replacement, programming code. * Login online anti-theft matching programming. * Guided fault finding. * Maintenance circuit diagram view. * Engineer mode (development version) can support special functions such as installing, modify, Flash. * Process malfunction navigation, showing all interior circuit diagram. Specially if Porsche were produced after 2005. The PIWIS III has original oscillometer and multi-meter Function.

Piwis 3 diagnostic functions:

Read trouble code Clear trouble code Show ECU information Test live data Display actual values

New Car Models Available :

Panamera (971) 2018 Cayenne (92A) 2018 Macan (95B) 2018 991 (991) 2018 Also support All Other Old car models

Conclusion:

If you are Porsche owner looking for a dealer level scanner you will get similar functionality with Autel MaxiDAS.

MaxiDAS provides the in-depth diagnostics and also works on 20+ vehicle makes including Europen, Asian and Domestic vehicles.

The PIWIS 2 in this list work on most 1996 and newer Porsches such as Porsche 996, 997, 911, Boxter, Cayenne, 993.

Before you purchase a Porsche OBD2 scanner, you should always check system coverage for your particular Porsche model and year.
