The 2018 S-Class has a slightly updated look thanks to a restyling of the headlights, grille, and front and rear bumpers.

Do you really need a GTS?

By: 
carexpert.com.au

Porsche updated the Macan's front and rear bumpers and added new wheel designs to the order form for 2022. The interior sports a reworked center console, steering wheel, and shift lever. The base turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder now makes 261 horsepower, and the Macan S inherits the 375-hp twin-turbo 2.9-liter V-6 from last year's GTS. Porsche cut the Turbo from the list but transferred its 434-hp V-6 to the GTS.

PROS
Spry handling,
eager powertrains,
sporty exterior styling.

CONS
Standard interior materials don't impress,
snug rear seat,
most rivals offer more cargo space.
