Porsche achieved sales growth in 2022

After a successful 2021 with 300,000 vehicles sold worldwide, 2022 also started and ended successfully for Porsche with 3 percent growth compared to 2021 (309,884 cars sold). Obviously, the global crisis and the overall situation in the world did not affect the demand for new cars, because other car manufacturers also recorded an increase in sales last year.

“The many challenges caused by the war in Ukraine, disrupted supply chains and the ongoing semiconductor crisis have shaped the past year and tested us. So I am even more proud of the entire Porsche team. In this difficult environment, we have been able to fulfill the dream of owning a Porsche for more customers than ever before before,” said Detlev von Platen, member of the Executive Board for Sales and Marketing at Porsche AG.

When it comes to different parts of the world, the biggest market last year was China with 93,286 cars, 2% less than in 2021. North America with 79,260 deliveries was the second largest market, the same as last year. In Europe, Porsche delivered 62,685 vehicles, which is 7% more than the previous year. In Germany, 29,512 customers received their vehicles, an increase of 3 percent.

The highest demand last year was for the Porsche Cayenne with 95,604 units delivered. Macan is in second place with 86,724 units delivered. The Porsche 911 proved to be very popular last year as well, with 40,410 cars delivered.

Sales results for other models: Panamera 34,142 cars delivered, Taycan 34,801 cars (-16 percent), 718 Boxster and 718 Cayman 18,203 cars.
