2025 model year changeover?

[JonoNZ]

Nobody is confused about the build year vs the model year. There are absolutely two official model years of the Macan electric with customers and on dealer lots: 2024 and 2025. What the differences are is unknown, it’s likely minor, if any.

Today I was looking at ordering a Macan EV (Europe). The dealer told me that prices will increase with the model year 2026 already to be announced in May.
He also mentioned the change of model year also will happen for other Porsches.
Anyone heard the samme. I really don't want to order a 2025 model when the new is around the corner.

So this is the normal cycle but deliveries typically won't start until Aug / Sep.

I doubt much will change for MY26 - hopefully build quality improvements and a few more colours potentially.

If you defer ordering until the configurator has been updated- Jun is normal then order this should reflect MY26. Downside is the price increase.

Thanks for feedback. But to be honest I don't think they dare increase prices as long as they don't deliver a quality product as we all have experienced in the past. I think the opposite could happen to react to lack of market penetration. Or maybe some packaging of obvious options to be included in standard, like keyless entry, adaptive speed control.. and I could continue.

Incredibly hard to imagine a price increase on the Macan electric anytime soon, unless Porsche wants to indulge in self harm and further reduce sales. The hefty price hike on the facelift Taycan effectively killed sales on that model - the market is adjusting, Porsche may not have quite worked out their strategy yet, but making electric models even more expensive than they already are is very unlikely to succeed.

The price will increase.

Some option may be bundled but either way you will pay more.

Price increases facilitate discounting which is what's happening right now with the Taycan and to a lesser extent the Macan.

MY is the same globally - for clarity I can speak with confidence for UK / EU and for some reason NA always has to do it different.

I realize many others have also tried to clean this up, but while you may be confident, you are most definitely incorrect. Model years are not different across EU/NA or across brands, and there absolutely are MY2024 Macan EVs in the UK, the US, and the EU. They were made for about four months from production start (May 2024) through summer. There are even some still for sale in Porsche inventory (a handful in the US and at least one brand new 2024 for sale in the UK.

Porsche follows the international standard VIN format, where the 10th character of the VIN is the model year. Manufacturers can sell their cars as MY2025 car whenever they want, beginning 1 Jan 2024. But that does not mean that all cars built in 2024 must be 2025 models.

My assertion still stands regardless. All customer cars delivered from Sep'24 onward will be classed as MY25 by Porsche.

September deliveries were definitely 2024 models. MY25 Macans started trickling out in October, and deliveries overlapped at least into November before all the 2024s were out. Again, it's as simple as this: MY25 cars are the ones with an S in the VIN; MY24 are the ones with an R in the VIN.

No need - turn the light on - this just tells us the car was made in 2024 (which it would have been).

No, it does not. The US window sticker displays the model year, not the manufacturing year. The posted one shows you it's a 2024 model year Macan. Similarly, my 2025 Macan was built in November 2024 and because it is a 2025 model, has a 2025 window sticker and a 2025 VIN. It didn't magically time travel to be built in the future.

I realise my error and was due to picking up the launch date incorrectly (sorry).

Macan EV was launched 25/1/24, cars (demo) hit dealers in late Spring and customer orders a while after. Depending on when the car was ordered it could well have been MY24 (launch) rather than MY25 which would have been the case when ordering Jun / Jul'24.

I ordered mine in July 2024 as soon as the two new models were announced, delivered in November.
In the VIN, it has letter S, so a 2025 model year. I presume both new models are 2025 model year then.

No - MY24 existed for a short period of time given the Jan'24 launch and deliveries before the MY change which you got.

As it is letter S in my VIN, does it not mean it's MY25?

Yours is MY25
