GTS models will feature a matte-black finish on the side blades, and with more optional colors. It is easy to recognize the Turbo model thanks to the squared exhaust outlets and the front spoiler.
2019 Porsche Macan Interior
There were some disappointments about the interior of Porsche Macan. Some standard interior fittings and lack of space inside the cabin are the main issues.

That space can be expanded when 2nd-row seats are folded. But there are some positive features for sure. The materials are high quality with some nice aluminum trims all over the cabin.
The controls and buttons are also well placed and dynamic. Like on every Porsche model, the key is on the left side of the steering wheel. Seats are very comfortable and are very firm.
