Default New Macan - Porsche Video

Porsche released a video of the new Macan today. Looks basically identical to the 2021's, headlights and taillights didn't change...few styling things in the bumper, but you'd have a hard time spotting the difference. Shows the same infotainment screen but has the touch buttons rather than hard buttons.

Looks like the GTS price is up from $72,650 to $81,250 and comes with the PSCB's as standard. So basically as expected, the GTS is now basically a Turbo with a new name.

The main difference I see is that this is the evil Macan based on the goatee...

Papaya metallic and python green for GTS. I may have to get the papaya metallic if offered for the EV turbo.

Damn, and a $4k bump for the S vs last year, too. Hopefully it'll come with some of the stuff that the outgoing GTS had in order to justify the price bump beyond just the performance specs.

Wow, really really glad I got a 2021. That looks so cheap with all the black plastic around the front grille and they even kept the black plastic side blade.

The grille, especially on the GTS, looks larger and more pronounced with each refresh - this should help it continue to sell well; carmakers across the board aren't enlarging grilles because they sell poorly.
I for one am glad that Porsche hasn't found a way to engineer this design language into the 911

Well there certainly aren't fewer "buttons" - just more stealthy. And fingerprinty. And from my perspective more confusing with no tactile separation. Fewer analog controls but at least they didn't go full electronic on the vent adjustments.

I like Papaya Metallic! We would have likely chosen this for a 2022 since Mamba is no longer available. Oh well, our Turbo is about 18 hours out of the Panama canal heading north to San Diego, then Benica (maybe a stop in between). Then trucked up north. Won't be long!

Thanks to Paul125 for posting the video!

For a few months, I have been wondering whether to replace my 2021 Turbo with the new GTS. After seeing the front grille, the answer is no. I could think about it if, as Top Gear imagines, a new Turbo with a new engine will also come out in the future.

I believe the Turbo trim will be use for the upcoming EV model, to justified the price and performance.
