718 Boxster and Cayenne Help Boost Porsche’s August Sales
SUV and two-door demand drives monthly growth for 6.2% gain year-to-date.
Porsche Cars North America (PCNA) has announced that August retail sales rose 13.5% from the same month a year ago to 4,636 vehicles. For the period January through August, total retail deliveries were 39,849, an increase of 6.2% from the same period last year.
“It is humbling to see such a sustained level of customer excitement for Porsche so far this year,” said Klaus Zellmer, President and CEO of PCNA. “The next-generation Cayenne, in particular, is living up to its reputation as the sports cars in the SUV segment.â€
Sales of the redesigned Cayenne were nine times higher in August compared to a year earlier, when inventory of the outgoing generation was low. The 718 Boxster also enjoyed fresh demand, with sales up 2.7%. The next-generation 911 will appear in U.S. showrooms shortly, which is expected to ignite deliveries of the Porsche icon.
Porsche Approved Certified Pre-Owned sales in the U.S. totaled 2,166 vehicles in August, up three percent year-over-year.
