Porsche Sets Summer 2026 End for Gas Macan Production, Stockpiles to Bridge Gap

Porsche seeks to keep dealers supplied into 2027 to offset weaker U.S. demand for the costlier electric Macan.

Overview

  • Porsche said on a recent earnings call that it will stop building the gasoline Macan in summer 2026 and ramp final output to the limit.
  • The company is stacking inventory at its Leipzig, Germany plant with a goal of keeping gas Macans on sale into 2027 in some regions.
  • In the U.S., the gas Macan led Porsche’s Q1 2026 results with 10,130 sales versus 2,051 for the electric version, reflecting price sensitivity and thinner EV incentives.
  • Europe has been without the gas Macan since mid-2024 because the decade-old model does not meet new GSR2 safety and cybersecurity rules.
  • Porsche is targeting 2028 for a new gas-positioned successor, creating a likely multi‑year gap that raises revenue risk as profit after tax fell to €391 million in Q1 2026 from €518 million a year earlier.
