IT IS NOT CERTIFIED – A spokesperson for the German company stated ad Automotive News that sales of the current one will be discontinued next spring Porsche Macan in Europe.

Porsche will continue to assemble the Macan at its plant in Leipzig, Germany, for non-European markets. The combustion-engined Macan is expected to continue to be sold outside Europe for at least another two years.
FROM 2024 ELECTRIC ONLY – One will debut next year new generation of the Porsche Macan which, however, will only be electric (Who to know more).
