Overview
- Porsche confirmed it will halt production of the gasoline-powered Macan in summer 2026 after a decade-long run.
- The company is building as many ICE Macans as possible at its Leipzig plant to create an inventory cushion that could last into 2027 in some markets.
- The gas Macan has been off sale in Europe since mid-2024 because it does not meet GSR2, the EU’s newer safety and cybersecurity rules.
- In the U.S. during Q1 2026, buyers chose the gas Macan 10,130 times versus 2,051 for the electric version, with the EV’s higher price and the loss of the $7,500 federal tax credit dampening demand.
- Porsche is targeting a new gasoline successor around 2028, creating a likely gap that could pressure sales and profits after the company reported lower Q1 2026 earnings.
