Porsche said it will build as many of the SUVs as it can to sell before supplies run out.
Among all the models the rather straightforward Porsche playbook, the Macan is the German automaker’s bestseller. This despite the gasoline version of the popular compact luxury SUV having not been fully redesigned since it launched 12 years ago. We’ve now learned its days are numbered.
During a first-quarter analyst and investor call, Porsche financial executive Jochen Breckner confirmed production of the gasoline-powered Macan will cease this summer. Up to that point, Porsche will build as many of the SUVs as it can and continue selling them over the course of this year and into next—or until supplies run out. The company is very aware of how well the Macan sells here in the United States, so it will make sure its market allocation accounts for that.
