NEW YORK: The Macan is proving to be a hit for Porsche, which is why the German automaker will be increasing its Macan allocation to North America.
Buyers interested in the Macan have seen wait times of six months or more in the U.S. ever since it went on sale last May. Joe Lawrence, COO of Porsche Cars North America, didn’t specify or estimate just how many Macans will be sent our way to meet the demand. That being said, Porsche did sell 7,241 copies of the Macan in the U.S. by the end of 2014.
Porsche’s initial goal was to sell 50,000 vehicles annually by 2018. But after selling 47,007 cars by the end of 2014 in the U.S. and a full year of Macan sales, Porsche is expected to exceed its targets.
In addition to the increased allocation, Porsche is expected to add a diesel engine to the North American Macan lineup by the end of the year.
