Porsche will end production of the combustion-engined Macan this summer, it has confirmed, although the model will remain available in the UK into next year.

Speaking on the company’s first-quarter earnings call, finance chief Jochen Breckner said: “We will produce the ICE Macan until mid-2026 and we will stock as much as we can based on the supplier parts that we have.”

According to Breckner, stock should last “over the months to come". He added: "We will even see some sales in some regions in 2027.” Thereafter, only the electric version will remain available – although Porsche is also priming a spiritual successor to the combustion-powered Macan for launch in 2028.

Most of the remainder of the stock is expected to be diverted to regions with greater demand for combustion-engined vehicles. Porsche GB would not comment on how many cars the UK will receive, but confirmed to Autocar that the ICE Macan will be available here into 2027.

One of the key markets Porsche is targeting is the US, said Breckner. He explained: “In the United States, the ICE Macan really has a great demand so we are supplying that region with the cars that we produce. And that’s even more important based on the fact that tax incentives on electric vehicles have been stopped by the US government – those were $7500 per car – which is a substantial issue. Therefore there’s some pressure on the electric Macan in the United States and therefore we provide as many ICE Macans in the United States as we can.”

The combustion-engined Macan remains one of Porsche’s most popular models. The company sold 10,130 ICE Macans during the first quarter of 2026, which is up on the 9370 it recorded during the same period a year ago.

For reference, Porsche’s best-seller during the first quarter of 2026 was the Cayenne, recording 19,183 units, followed by the 911, at 13,889 units. 

The Macan Electric sold 8079 units, notably fewer than the 14,185 recorded over the same period last year. This shortfall was “largely expected”, said Breckner, citing the “strong ramp-up” of Macan EVs during the first quarter of 2025 – as the firm pushed to get cars on the road soon after launch – as well as the subsequent removal of tax incentives in the US.

Breckner added that the ongoing conflict in Iran has affected supply of all models – with restrictions on key shipping lanes – and caused some customers “to be a bit more reluctant in going to a Porsche dealership and ordering a car”.

The replacement for the combustion-engined Macan, codenamed M1, is due in two years. It will be twinned with the third-generation Audi Q5 and underpinned by the Premium Platform Combustion (PPC) architecture.

This mirrors the relationship between the outgoing ICE Macan and the first-generation Q5, which shared the Volkswagen Group’s MLB architecture.

Speaking on the deployment of platforms from elsewhere in the Volkswagen Group, Breckner said: “When we take a platform from Audi, we never use it one-to-one without any changes. We leave as much unchanged as possible to have synergies, but if there are items that we need to change to make a Porsche a Porsche, we do that and invest into the platforms.

“This is the most important strategic position that we follow: a car with a crest of a Porsche is a Porsche, and it’s differentiated from the cars we have from [our] sister brands.”
