Porsche global sales post 2% rise in Jan.-Sept. 2022

Porsche reported a slight uptick in sales in the first three quarters of 2022. According to the German automotive brand, it delivered 221,512 vehicles globally in the first nine months of the year — a two percent increase compared to the same period in 2021.

The biggest gain reportedly came from Europe, where Porsche delivered 42,204 vehicles between January and September — 11 percent more than the same period last year.

Porsche also suffered minor losses in other markets. For example, Porsche delivered 68,766 vehicles in China, translating to a decline of one percent. The company attributed the dip in sales to the months-long lockdowns in the region.

Meanwhile, the Stuttgart-based automotive brand saw a minimal drop in sales in North America due to logistical challenges. Here, the firm sold 56,357 vehicles, translating to a four-percent decline in the company’s overall sales.

“We have managed to increase our delivery numbers in the first nine months of the year – in spite of various challenges. The popularity of Porsche as a modern luxury brand, as well as our products, is equally high on every continent. At the same time, we are still concerned about limitations to the supply of parts, which can impact waiting times for customers,” said Porsche Member of the Executive Board for Sales and Marketing Detlev von Platen.

Model-wise, Porsche revealed that the best-selling model was the Cayenne with 66,769 units sold. It is followed by the Macan, with 59,604 units sold; the 911, with 30,611 units sold; and the Panamera, with 25,452 units sold.

Worldwide sales of the all-electric Taycan hit 25,073, a 12 percent decline that is due to supply chain-related bottlenecks and declining parts availability.

“The fourth-quarter sprint is in full swing and we need to stay on our toes regarding external factors and uncertainties. At the same time, we are tackling the remaining three months of the year full of resolve and vigor,” Von Platen added.
