Is Macan EV GTS the Best Macan? By “Let’s Torque Porsche”

[Garylaw]

It all depends heavily on options, once you start adding a lot to 4S you'll get the GTS.

On the other note - has anyone here had the experience of driving 4/4S and the GTS to compare?

I'm kind of running out of time to decide on the replacement for my Macan, was almost all set for a Taycan but wanted to try the GTS as I hope it could be kind of the best of both worlds. I didn't find any reviews helpfull.

Yeh out of spec Dave, whilst not to everyone’s taste (including mine) makes back to back comments on 4s vs GTS:

The same could be said with the 4S, saving $15,400 over the GTS.

for the sake of comparison of GTS and Turbo, it's $7,400 difference and 67 horsepower. its only $110 more per horsepower and you get the cooler fake rear vented bumper. The Turbo upgrade from a GTS is a bargain!

Base $80,300 / 355HP = $226 per HP
4 $84,000 / 402HP = $208 per HP
4S $89,900 / 509HP = $176 per HP
GTS $105,300 / 563HP = $187 per HP
Turbo $112,700 / 630HP = $178 per HP

The GTS was cheaper for me than the 4s with the equipment i wanted and the handling on the GTS is supposed to be more driver focused

In terms of the Turbo, i personally prefer the GTS rear

I don't believe these reviews from press events, it's mostly hype as they take these journalists/youtubers to south of France or whatever, it's all champagne and cocaine and then you get a lot of BS.

His review of 4/4S was "great driving experience", "handles like a Porsche" , "perfect daily" etc and now he says the 4S is "twitchy," "nervous," and "wobbly"?

This is a much more balanced review but he didn't compare it to 4S. He noticed however some elements like this "noth" on the steering wheel are crap and not aligned properly so I wonder if anything of substance was done to quality control which this car needs. TL;DR he says it's the best driving experience you can get in a SUV.

As i said this channel isnt to my taste but its the only video, that im aware of, that gives a direct driving comparison to the 4s and back to back driving.

You said “he didn’t compare it to the 4s” what?? Have you actually watched the video? he said the cars were “night and day” nobody has to agree with him maybe you should test drive them and then decide what you want to order

And to be fair not sure this guy doesnt look like the type to be out his t*ts on coke & booze but i could be wrong

I ment the guy from AutoTopNL from the link I pasted, no need to be defensive about this.

I know Kyle compared the GTS to 4S but I've watched his previous review of Macan 4/4S and he did not mention anything about the 4/4S being "twitchy," "nervous," and "wobbly", instead he praised it the same way he talks abut the GTS now. So it's surprising that he suddenly describes the 4/4S this way and that's why I don't trust this review.

I plan to drive it myself to compare but the GTS is not yet available in my home town.
