Porsche reports electrified vehicle sales surge in H1 2025
VW Group owned Porsche has reported a rise in the share of electrified vehicles sold in the first half (H1) of 2025, with 36.1% of the 146,391 vehicles delivered globally being either fully electric or plug-in hybrids. The Macan model led this growth with a 15% increase in deliveries, followed by the Panamera with a 13% rise compared to the same period last year. Porsche delivered 45,137 Macan units in H1, with nearly 60% being the fully electric variant. The combustion-engined Macan continues to be available outside the European Union (EU), with 19,253 units delivered. North America remained Porsche's largest sales region, delivering 43,577 vehicles, a 10% increase compared to H1 2024. This was attributed to 'higher product availability' and price protection from increased import tariffs. The Overseas and Emerging Markets also saw a 10% increase, with 30,158 vehicles delivered. Europe (excluding Germany) and Germany saw decreases of 8% and 23%, respectively. These were said to be partly due to a 'strong prior-year period' with catch-up effects from 2023. Deliveries fell by 28% to 21,302 vehicles in China, attributed to 'challenging market conditions' and intense competition. The sports car, 911, saw a 9% decline in deliveries, while the 718 Boxster and 718 Cayman models saw a 12% decrease, affected by limited availability of models due to EU cybersecurity regulations. The Taycan deliveries decreased by 6% to 8,302 units, and the Cayenne saw a 23% decrease to 41,873 units, partly due to 'catch-up effects' from the last year. Porsche Sales and Marketing board member Matthias Becker said: 'We expect the environment to remain challenging. This makes it all the more important that we work closely with our sales regions to carefully balance supply and demand in line with our 'value over volume' strategy. 'The basis for this is our highly attractive and almost completely renewed product range, which excellently covers the very diverse customer requirements worldwide in terms of powertrain and equipment.' In March 2025, the company announced its plans to decrease its workforce by nearly 3,900 positions to improve profitability.

Porsche Deliveries Fall on Weakness in China and Germany
Porsche car deliveries fell 6% in the first half of the year to 146,391 vehicles as strong growth in North America failed to offset sharp declines in China and Germany. Porsche has cut guidance twice this year.(Reuters) The fall in deliveries follows an 8% decline in the first quarter as it faces challenges in juggling the transition to electric vehicles with intense competition in China and new trade hurdles from President Trump's automobile tariffs that began in April. First-half deliveries in North America rose 10% on year to 43,577 vehicles, buoyed by higher product availability in the market and price protection that the company offered against the higher import tariffs, Porsche said. The German premium sports-car maker said Tuesday that the Chinese market is still challenging, particularly in the luxury segment, so focus remains on balancing demand and supply. Deliveries in the country fell 28% to 21,302 cars in the first six months of the year. In Europe, deliveries fell 8% to 35,381 cars, with Germany having a 23% drop, though Porsche noted that last year there was disproportionately strong growth in both markets. The company expects the environment to remain challenging in the second half of the year. 'This makes it all the more important that we work closely with our sales regions to carefully balance supply and demand in line with our 'value over volume' strategy,' Matthias Becker, member of the executive board for sales and marketing, said. Porsche has cut guidance twice this year, warning of hits from U.S. import tariffs, a realignment of its battery activities, and investments in new combustion engines and hybrid models as it scales back its EV ambitions to refocus efforts on gas-powered cars with the market transition to EVs taking longer than expected. However, in its statement Tuesday, it said it significantly increased the share of electrified vehicles it sold in the first half of 2025. Around 36.1% of the cars it delivered in the period were electrified, with 23.5% all-electric vehicles and 12.6% plug-in hybrids. The Macan recorded the strongest growth among the sports car manufacturer's six model series, with an increase of 15%. Deliveries of the Panamera grew by 13%. 'The fully electric Macan is making a significant contribution to our proportion of electrified cars,' Becker said. 'Overall, we have succeeded in keeping sales volumes stable and balanced across the sales regions despite ongoing geopolitical challenges.' Write to Dominic Chopping at

Transport Canada recall alerts: Are you driving one of these vehicles from BMW, Porsche, Land Rover, Volvo, Polestar, Chevrolet, GMC, Ford, Rivian, Honda or Acura?
Vehicles from nearly a dozen automotive brands have recently been recalled in Canada. Here's a roundup of vehicle recalls provided to Transport Canada between June 23 and 30. General Motors has issued a recall on the 2023 and 2024 pickup truck pair of Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. The recall affects 41,000 vehicles. This recall only affects trucks equipped with a power-locking tailgate and is an expansion of recall N232426400 (Transport Canada recall No. 2024-061). Water could leak into the exterior tailgate switch on some trucks, which could result in the tailgate unlatching and opening unexpectedly while parked. If this happens, unsecured cargo could fall out of the truck bed and onto the road when the vehicle is moving. 'Cargo that falls from the truck bed could create a road hazard for others and increase the risk of a crash,' the recall, last updated June 27, said. GM will notify owners by mail and advise them to take their truck to a dealership to replace the exterior tailgate switch. To reduce the safety risk, owners are advised to inspect the tailgate to ensure it's closed and latched before driving. Land Rover issued a recall on the 2015-2017 Range Rover. More than 3,000 SUVs are affected by this recall. The front suspension knuckles could crack and/or break on some vehicles. A front knuckle that breaks while driving could cause a sudden loss of vehicle control. This recall is an expansion of N759 (Transport Canada recall No. 2022-668). Certain vehicles that did not have both front suspension knuckles replaced under that recall, also require this repair. 'A loss of vehicle control could increase the risk of a crash,' the recall, lasted updated June 27, said. Land Rover will notify owners by mail and advise them to take their vehicle to a dealership to inspect the front suspension knuckles. If the knuckles aren't cracked, the dealer will install retaining brackets. If cracks are found, the dealer will replace the knuckle(s). Porsche has recalled the 2025 Panamera and 2025 Taycan. Just 40 cars are affected by this recall. A retaining ring on top of the suspension strut may become loose and detach on some vehicles. If this happens, air could leak from the spring and cause a drop in ride height, which could affect vehicle handling and stability. 'A change in vehicle handling or a loss of stability could increase the risk of a crash,' the recall, last updated June 26, said. Porsche will notify owners by mail and advise them to take their vehicle to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, secure the retaining ring(s). Volvo has recalled a car from its Polestar EV brand, issuing a recall on the 2024 and 2025 Polestar 2. A little more than 100 cars are affected. Under certain conditions, a software problem could cause a loss of brakes. 'A loss of brakes can increase the risk of a crash,' the recall, last updated June 26, said. To reduce the safety risk, Polestar recommends drivers not to use the 'One Pedal Drive' mode until the recall repairs are completed. Polestar will notify owners by mail and send a wireless over-the-air software update for the brake control module software. Alternatively, owners may schedule an appointment to have the update performed at a Polestar dealership. Volvo also issued a recall on nearly 2,000 cars and SUVs from its Volvo brand, due to a similar problem as the above Polestar recall. Affected vehicles include: This recall only affects plug-in hybrid (PHEV) and electric vehicles. Under certain conditions, a software problem could cause a loss of brakes. 'A loss of brakes can increase the risk of a crash,' the recall, last updated June 26, said. To reduce the safety risk, Volvo recommends owners not to use the 'B' or 'One Pedal Drive' modes until the recall repairs are completed. Volvo will notify owners by mail and advise them to take your vehicles to a dealership to update the brake control module software. Ford issued a recall on the 2025 Mustang Mach-E. Just 20 electric SUVs are affected. The transmission park rod may have been damaged during manufacturing on some vehicles. As a result, when the transmission is shifted into the park (P) position, the vehicle could move if the parking brake isn't applied. 'A parked vehicle that moves suddenly could create the risk of an injury or a crash,' the recall, last updated June 26, said. Ford will notify owners by mail and advise them to take their vehicle to a dealership to replace the transmission park rod assembly. BMW has recalled more than 7,000 electric cars and SUVs. Affected models include: A problem with the electric drive motor software could cause some vehicles to enter a fail-safe mode, which could cause a loss of power to the wheels. This problem would cause a warning light to turn on and a warning message to be displayed. 'A loss of power to the wheels could increase the risk of a crash,' the recall, last updated June 26, said. BMW will notify owners by mail and send a wireless over-the-air software update to eligible vehicles to update the electric drive motor software. Alternatively, owners may schedule an appointment to have the update performed at a BMW dealership. Honda issued a recall on more than 15,000 cars and SUVs from both its mainline and luxury brands. Affected vehicles include: The brake pedal assembly may not have been manufactured properly on some vehicles. This could result in the brake pedal moving and causing drivers not to be able to apply the brakes properly, or to apply the brakes unexpectedly. The brake lights could also turn on without pressing the brake pedal. 'Reduced braking and/or braking unexpectedly could increase the risk of a crash. Additionally, brake lights that turn on without the brake pedal being pressed could cause others not to recognize when the vehicle is braking or not braking and increase the risk of a crash,' the recall, lasted updated June 26, said. The automaker will notify owners by mail and advise them to take their vehicle to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, replace the brake pedal assembly. Rivian issued a recall on its 2025 R1S and R1T pickup truck and SUV pair, affecting nearly 300 vehicles. On some vehicles, the front turn signal lamps may not have been manufactured properly and one or both front turn signals may not work. As a result, the vehicles may not meet certain requirement of Canadian regulations. This problem would cause a message reading 'Turn signal lights not working. Service it soon.' to be displayed. 'Front turn signals that don't work may cause a person not to recognize when a driver intends to turn or change lanes and could increase the risk of a crash,' the recall, last updated June 26, said. Rivian will notify owners by email and advise them to take their vehicle to a Rivian service centre to inspect and, if necessary, replace the front turn signal lamps. Error!

Porsche Will Upset Competitors With These Records Set at Road Atlanta
Record-setting performance from stock cars In true Porsche fashion, the German automaker has set two more lap records, this time at Road Atlanta. The Cayenne Turbo GT set the benchmark for performance SUVs with a lap time of 1:34.32 minutes, while the Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid set a time of 1:30.98, besting the previous Panamera Turbo S. Patrick Long, the Porsche pro-driver and brand ambassador who already set the production EV lap record in the Taycan Turbo GT, was behind the wheel of both cars when the records were set. The Cayenne Turbo GT is a special beast, as it carries the same rear seat room and cargo space as the other Cayenne Coupe variants, but adds a twin-turbo V8 that produces 650 hp. Underneath, the suspension sports unique hub carriers and an additional center differential cooler. 'The Cayenne is so interesting because it's full of contradictions about what a sports car can be. You have to remember that it's a full-size SUV with a center of gravity and ride height to match, but it's way more agile than you think, and the V8 sound, suspension calibration, and sticky tires make the car so maneuverable and responsive,' said Long. On the other hand, the Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid uses a twin-turbo V8, making 621 hp alongside a powerful hybrid system for a combined 771 hp. The car sits on carbon ceramic brakes, an active hydraulic suspension system, and track-focused Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 performance tires developed and homologated specifically for the Panamera. Both cars were completely stock, with 39 psi of front pressure and 38 psi of rear pressure for the Cayenne Turbo GT, and 37 psi of front and rear pressure for the Panamera. 'The new generation Panamera is so much more seamless in the regen and boost transition, it makes it very easy to get right up to the edge. When you think about how much braking is part of high-performance driving, the fact that you can make energy for acceleration while improving stopping power is such a positive attribute, and one that you can use both on and off the track,' Long said. This isn't Porsche's first record-setting rodeo Back on May 28, 2025, the Taycan Turbo GT set a new production EV lap record at Road Atlanta of 1:27.15 minutes. Much like the Cayenne and Panamera, the Taycan was also in stock condition. Five years earlier, a Taycan Turbo S went around Road Atlanta in 1:33.88, showing a pretty impressive improvement from Porsche. 2025 Porsche Taycan Turbo GT — Source: Porsche Final thoughts Creating supercars whose looks match their impressive performance figures is nothing new. Creating factory sleepers, on the other hand, is something that should be celebrated, regardless of what automaker they come from. The fact that you can take either the Cayenne or the Panamera to do your errands around town in the morning and set lap records in the afternoon will never cease to amaze me. It seems the old adage of 'Win on Sunday, Sell on Monday' still holds true with Porsche. About the Author Gabriel Ionica View Profile
