Overview
The 2026 Porsche Macan GTS compact luxury performance SUV sits at the top of the gas-powered Macan range and marks one of the final combustion Macans Porsche builds. A twin-turbocharged 2.9-liter V6 produces 434 hp and 405 lb-ft, paired with a 7-speed PDK automatic transmission and standard AWD. The GTS reaches 60 mph in 4.1 seconds and has a top speed of 169 mph. Sport air suspension rides 0.4 inches lower than the standard Macan. Seating is for five, and cargo capacity measures 17.2 cu-ft. Gas Macan production will come to an end in Q3 2026.
What’s New for 2026
Updates remain limited as the gas Macan enters its final production year. Packaging changes are minor, and Porsche makes no powertrain or chassis revisions. This model year represents the last opportunity to purchase a new gas-powered Macan before production ends in Q3 2026. Replacement gas models are not expected until 2028, which positions the 2026 Macan GTS as a potential future collectible.
Exterior
The GTS features 21-inch RS Spyder Design wheels finished in Satin Black. Side blades carry GTS logos in gloss black. The front and rear fascia are body-colored, while the skid plate and window trim are Satin Black. Porsche Surface Coated Brakes with red calipers add contrast. The sport exhaust produces the signature GTS sound through quad tips. The Macan GTS measures 186.1 inches in length and rides on a 110.5-inch wheelbase. An optional $12,330 GTS Sport Package adds GT Design wheels with performance tires on the Porsche Macan GTS.

Interior
The cockpit centers on the driver and includes GTS sport seats with Alcantara center panels and GTS logos on the headrests. Race-Tex and leather cover the steering wheel, door panels, and center console. A 10.9-inch touchscreen runs Porsche Communication Management with Apple CarPlay. A multifunction sport steering wheel with paddle shifters and the Sport Chrono stopwatch mounted on the dashboard reinforce the performance focus.
The rear seat accommodates three passengers at a pinch, though legroom is tighter than most compact luxury SUV competitors. Cargo capacity measures 17.2 cu-ft behind the rear seats and expands to 53.1 cu-ft with the seats folded. The optional GTS Sport Package adds 18-way Adaptive Sport Seats with power bolsters.

- Last gas-powered Macan GTS ever, potential collector value
- PDK dual-clutch transmission shifts with race-car precision

Verdict
The Porsche Macan GTS compact performance SUV serves as a farewell performance model. As the final gas-powered Macan, it represents Porsche’s last statement on what a combustion compact SUV can achieve. The 434-hp V6, lowered sport suspension, and PDK transmission create a driving experience that rivals dedicated sports cars while still carrying five passengers and their gear. The sport exhaust note remains a defining part of the experience for enthusiasts who value engine character.
At $94,200, the GTS sits firmly in premium territory, and the options list can push the final price beyond $110,000. Buyers who value the immediacy of a twin-turbo V6, the mechanical feedback of a traditional drivetrain, and the knowledge that this chapter of Porsche history is closing permanently will find that the GTS delivers a driving experience that an electric successor does not fully replicate.
