is the macan gts worth the extra money over the s?

Question

Accepted Answer

Great question! Based on our market data, here's the breakdown on whether the **2022 Macan GTS** is worth the premium over the **S**:

## The Financial Picture
This CPO 2022 Macan GTS at **$72,854** sits right in line with other current GTS listings ($70k–$77k). Comparable 2022 Macan S models with similar mileage are trading around **$57,000**—so you're looking at roughly a **$15,500 premium** for the GTS badge.

## What That Money Gets You

**Performance gains:**
- **434 hp** from a 2.9L twin-turbo V6 (vs. ~375 hp in the S)
- Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV+) and **Sport Chrono Package** as standard
- Sportier suspension tuning and adaptive dampers

**This specific car's edge:**
- Premium Package Plus, **Burmester audio**, ventilated seats, and PDLS+ headlights—options that pile up fast on an S too
- Certified Pre-Owned status from a Porsche dealer
- Low miles (26k) for a 2022

## The Verdict?

**If you care about the sharper throttle response, better cornering attitude, and exclusivity**—yes, the GTS feels special in a way the S doesn't quite match. It's the enthusiast's pick.

**But honestly?** The S does about 90% of what the GTS does for $15k less, and both are plenty quick for daily driving. If you're cross-shopping, the value play is the S.
