2017 Porsche Macan GTS
If you are looking for a compact SUV that combines performance, luxury and versatility, you might want to consider the 2017 Porsche Macan GTS. This model is the third variant of the Macan lineup, sitting between the S and the Turbo versions. It offers a more powerful engine, a sportier suspension, and a distinctive exterior design.
The 2017 Porsche Macan GTS is powered by a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 engine that delivers 360 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque. This is an increase of 20 hp and 30 lb-ft over the Macan S. The engine is paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and an all-wheel-drive system. The Macan GTS can sprint from zero to 60 mph in 4.8 seconds, or 4.6 seconds with the optional Sport Chrono package. It can also reach a top speed of 159 mph.
The Macan GTS also features a sport-tuned adaptive air suspension that lowers the ride height by 10 millimeters compared to the Macan S. This improves the handling and stability of the vehicle, as well as its aerodynamics and appearance. The suspension can be adjusted to different modes, from comfort to sport plus, depending on the driving situation and preference. The Macan GTS also comes with larger brakes, 20-inch wheels, and a sport exhaust system that enhances the sound of the engine.
The exterior of the Macan GTS is distinguished by its black accents, such as the grille, side blades, window trim, rear spoiler, and tailpipes. It also has LED headlights with Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS), which adapt to the road conditions and traffic. The interior of the Macan GTS is equally sporty and luxurious, with leather and Alcantara upholstery, eight-way power-adjustable sport seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel with paddle shifters, and a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with navigation and Apple CarPlay. The cabin also offers plenty of space and comfort for up to five passengers and their luggage.
The 2017 Porsche Macan GTS is not only a fun-to-drive SUV, but also a safe and reliable one. It comes with standard features such as rearview camera, front and rear parking sensors, lane departure warning, and automatic emergency braking. It also offers optional features such as adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitoring, lane keep assist, and surround-view camera.
