The Macan claimed a spot on Car and Driver’s 10Best Trucks for 2025, while the 718 Boxster/Cayman secured its place among the 10Best Cars. But Car and Driver’s 10Best isn’t just any list—it’s the ultimate gold star of the automotive world. Each year, it highlights vehicles that don’t just perform—they amaze.
To earn a place, a car must exceed expectations, delivering thrilling performance, cutting-edge innovation, and undeniable value. For Porsche, it’s yet another way to show the world what it means to lead the pack. More from Porsche here.
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.
