Porsche India concluded 2024 on a historic high, surpassing the four-figure sales milestone for the first time with 1,006 units sold—a 10 percent year-on-year growth. This achievement highlights the success of new model launches including the Porsche 911, Panamera and the updated Cayenne introduced in late 2023.

Entering 2025, Porsche India’s line-up is fully renewed with the launch of two Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs): the all-new Macan SUV and the updated Taycan sports saloon, marking a significant leap in its commitment to sustainable luxury mobility.

Commenting at the launch at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025, Brand Director Manolito Vujicic commented, “After a strong 2023, we are thrilled to have surpassed expectations in 2024, achieving over a thousand sales for the first time. This milestone reflects the appeal of our refreshed portfolio, our expanding dealer network, and our focus on delivering exceptional customer experiences. With new Porsche Centres in Pune and Hyderabad, and upcoming locations in Indore, Jaipur, and Lucknow, we are poised for continued success in 2025 and beyond.”

The newly launched Macan BEV is offered in three variants namely, Macan (INR 12,162,000), Macan 4S (INR 13,862,000) and the 470 kW (639PS) Macan Turbo (INR 16,862,000). The Taycan line-up expands with the Taycan 4S (INR 18,942,000) and Taycan Turbo (INR 25,262,000) with a two-wheel-drive version offering a best-in-class WLTP range of 678 km—35 percent higher than before—set to debut later.

Porsche’s iconic two-door sports cars including the 911, 718 Cayman and Boxster, saw a 95 percent surge in sales with 156 units sold. SUVs remained the dominant segment with 454 Cayennes and 259 Macans accounting for 71 percent of total volume.

“2025 is a landmark year for Porsche India. With an entirely new model range introduced in just 14 months, including the Macan BEV and updated Taycan revealed today, alongside strategic network expansion, we are confident in sustaining this momentum through 2025 and into 2026,” added Vujicic.
