Car and Driver 10 Best 2025

Porsche Macan

The Porsche Macan isn’t just an SUV—it’s a sports car at heart. The latest generation proves you can have it all: practicality and thrilling performance in one sleek package. With five doors and five seats, it’s versatile, but make no mistake—it’s unmistakably Porsche. Car and Driver Senior Editor Eric Stafford declares the Macan as having “the best steering, best powertrain, best design, best chassis, and best driving position of any SUV here.”

The Macan GTS stole the spotlight, earning special praise from Car and Driver: “The entire Macan range is great…but at 10Best we were privy to one of our favorite variants overall, the GTS.” And who could argue? The GTS redefines what a luxury SUV can be, combining head-turning style, exhilarating performance, and everyday versatility. It’s no wonder the Macan earned its well-deserved spot on the 10Best Trucks list.

Under the hood, a mighty 2.9-liter twin-turbo V6 engine unleashes 493 horsepower and 405 lb-ft of torque, propelling you from 0 to 60 mph in a blistering 4.3 seconds with the Sport Chrono Package. And with a top speed of 169 mph, it’s ready to dominate the open road. Additionally, the standard Sport Exhaust System provides a thrilling soundtrack, ensuring every drive is as spine-tingling as its performance. All starting at $89,000.
