Introduction

Darren Rungasamy
Editor and Photographer

The Macan GTS offers a perfect blend of everyday utility and exhilarating performance, backed by the undeniable good feeling of owning a Porsche.

Porsche’s seamless expansion into new sectors began with its first SUV in 2002, followed by the 2014 debut of the compact Macan. Leveraging Porsche’s formidable reputation for build quality and driver engagement, the Macan set a benchmark for luxury crossovers that remains unbeaten.

Now the brand’s best-selling model, the first-generation Macan perfectly balances comfort and practicality with a rewarding drive. Its understated exterior styling is complemented by a thoughtful, driver-focused cabin. Positioned near the top of the range, the GTS utilizes the potent 3.0-litre twin-turbo V6 engine. This model prioritises driving dynamics, boasting a more responsive chassis, increased power output, and exclusive GTS detailing.

This stunning 2016 Macan GTS comes to market after just over a year and a quarter with our vendor, it is finished in 'Carmine Red' with a Black Leather/Alcantara interior and has covered just ~41,507 miles under two owners. It features a positive service history (4 stamps), an MOT through to October 2026, and comes highly specified with the Sport Chrono package, GTS leather interior, and thousands of pounds in additional dealer options.

Sold with its full owner's wallet, two keys, its original bill of sales and the private plate SR66 GTS is also included in the sale, this is a perfect opportunity to obtain one of the finest SUVs created.

This listing was written from information supplied by Darren after meeting Sean the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.

Meet the owner

A sports car in an SUV body, the Macan is a genuine thrill to drive, but it can be driven sensibly too.

Registered under Sean’s wife’s name, the Macan has been used regularly and has provided the couple with a pleasurable and painless experience.

With the arrival of a new daily driver and a garage full of weekend cars, the Macan has seen less use in the past few weeks, and they have decided to sell the car.

Sean will be happy to answer any questions about the car in the comments section below.

Exterior

Presented in a stunning red and black colour palette, the Macan exudes an air of both passion and sophistication.

Wheels and Tyres

The 95B RS Spyder Spoke 20 inch black alloy wheels are in very good shape, with just mild superficial marks noted on the nearside items.

The front of the car is fitted with Pirelli P-Zero tyres with a spec of 265/45, and the rear has a pair of Michelin Latitude Sports 3 showing a spec of 295/40 - they are all date coded from 2025 and have plenty of life in them.

Please take time to review the photos and videos for a detailed view of the exterior, wheels, and tyres so you can make your own assessment of their condition. Tyres are a key safety item, and you should consider replacing any that are cracked, perished, unevenly worn, or over 10 years old.

image

Bodywork

The exterior, structure and underside of the car are solid, with no notable issues in terms of panel fit, alignment or damage. The shut-lines are consistent.

All doors open and close with ease. The offside rear door handle is a little sticky, but it operates as it should. The electric tailgate release is fully operational.

We've highlighted in more detail our observations through our high-resolution images and videos, so please take time to look through all the media files for a detailed view of what’s on offer, and for you to assess the condition of the car for yourselves.

image

Paint

The 'Carmine Red' finish has a consistent finish with decent coverage; its lustre is positive with a smooth finish.

There are a handful of very minor chips on the nose, some of which have gone down to the base coat - a couple have been touched up. We also noticed a 2-inch patch on the lower-middle section of the driver's side door (above the GTS insert panel) that has been home repaired, it's tricky to see this in the images as it's quite small, however, the video shows it better - an easy professional remedy if the new owner wishes.

The images are taken from a few different angles to show off the car as you would see it if you were standing there for yourselves. So please take the time to fully assess these high-resolution images and videos of the car, for you to make up your own minds about the condition of the paint.

image

Glass and Trim

The glass is all in good shape, with decent seals. The trim is free of any alignment issues and is neatly mounted. All lights and lenses are in good condition.

The bumpers are flush to the body; there is a minor scuff noted on the nearside front corner, and the top of the rear bumper has light brush marks on the surface of the clear coat.

image

Interior

A masterclass in ergonomics, quality and practicality, the interior is in excellent shape too.

Seats and Carpets

Other than mild creasing on the driver seat bolster, the leather and Alcantara seats have been cared for and are free of marks.

The carpets and mats are clean with no signs of dampness.

image

Dashboard

The dashboard is smartly presented and above the expectations of a car of this age.

All of the controls and dials are clean, and all are said to function as they should.

The headlining, trim and door cards are all in good condition, with evidence of sympathetic use in the luggage area.

image

Steering Wheel / Gear Stick

The multi-function steering wheel with gearshift paddles and gear lever are in good condition, with no significant marks.

image

Mechanics

The Macan GTS handles with the precision of a modern 4WD hot hatch while delivering blistering, effortless pace.

Engine and Gearbox

The cold start process was straightforward with no notable problems. The engine management lights all went out once the key was turned, with the engine idling smoothly with no unwanted exhaust smoke, other than the expected cold engine condensation, which soon cleared up.

The engine bay is cleanly presented, with no reported issues regarding the 7-speed PDK transmission.

A note in the service book suggests that the gearbox was replaced in 2022 by the Porsche main dealer.

image

Suspension and Brakes

The car rides smoothly, with no notable faults to its handling, road absorption or road suppression. The Porsche Adaptive Suspension Management (PASM) was demonstrated to work as it should.

Fitted with the larger six-piston calipers with 360mm discs, it brakes without any faults and free of unwanted noises or vibrations.

image

The Drive

The Macan is considered a car for every occasion and almost every type of road. Its reassuring manners and effortless ability add plenty of confidence in its role as a performance car with the talent to do the small stuff just as well. Docile to drive, it feels far more nimble than you might expect.

Sean provided an extensive test drive, effectively demonstrating the vehicle's impressive grip and poise. The steering, suspension, and braking systems performed flawlessly throughout the route. Reassuring and stable on B-roads, Sean did treat us to the car's sublime power, producing a raucous note from the V6 to outline its potential to cross distances without breaking a sweat.

Free of cabin rattles, the interior is a sumptuous and beautifully crafted environment to sit in, improved by the panoramic roof, airy cabin and exceptionally comfortable seating.

Sean tells us that he's not experienced any issues with its reliability.

image

Electrics and Other

The car was highly spec’d from new, with thousands of pounds worth of options, including Privacy Glass, a Panoramic Roof system, the Carbon Interior Package and importantly Sports Chrono package.

Sean has also fitted an aftermarket CarPlay system.

While we didn't test everything, Sean assured us everything was working as expected.

image

History and Paperwork

Regularly serviced since new, it has also been recently treated to a full set of new tyres, discs and pads.

First registered in October 2016 at Porsche Centre Kendal, it comes with 4 service stamps. Bought by a lady owner from new, it was then bought by Sean’s wife in late 2024 from a local specialist.

A 2025 bill for £2,600 covers a full set of new discs, pads and tyres. It also saw a major service (water pump, thermostat and aux belt) and lower control arm from earlier that year. It comes with invoices before Sean's ownership, including Porsche main dealer invoices for servicing and sundry items.

It retains its original bill of sales, which includes a list of its factory specifications, its owner's wallet and booklets, original sales brochure, two keys and previous MOT certificates, the private plate SR66 GTS is also included in the sale.

We asked AI how much the optional extras were likely to cost in 2016 and it told us around ~£10k - these include:

FL GTS Leather Interior in Carmine Red including items in Alcantara
1D3 Trailer hitch, electrically retractable
1G1 18" space-saver spare wheel
2FX Carbon steering wheel, heated
3FU Panoramic roof
3S5 Black roof rails

We've summarised our own view on the car based on information gained from the seller in the listing above, however, as you can see, we go to great lengths to photograph and video the car in hi-resolution detail - this has been done for you to make your own assessment from the comfort of your sofa. So please sit back, have a cuppa and take your time to review everything on this listing in order to make your own assessment of the vehicle's condition.
