Porsche Discontinues Diesel Car Production<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many drivers love diesel engines. When taken care of, they are incredibly reliable and long-lasting. From semis to the family sedan, imported diesel vehicles are a prominent fixture of the imported auto market. But that may be changing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does Porsche still make diesel cars?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Porsche to Focus on Hybrids<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Porsche released a statement on November 30th<\/sup> stating that they intend to discontinue diesel car production and switch focus to hybrid and EV development. They site sales figures as the reason for the change, with hybrids making up \u201c63 percent of all Panameras ordered in Europe.\u201d By contrast, diesel Porsche models accounted for only \u201c12 percent\u201d of global sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Porsche Announces New EV<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In light of these statistics, Porsche announced the Taycan launch, a fully electric sports car manufactured \u201cusing CO2<\/sub>-neutral production methods and supplied with green electricity via a Europe-wide charging infrastructure.\u201d The Taycan has a 2020 release date for the States, though it is unclear when in 2020 it will arrive. Given that sibling company Volkswagen isn’t releasing the ID.3 and ID Space Vizzion in the US for a couple of years, we are surprised that the Taycan is also set to have a 2020 American release. If you\u2019re interested, considering reserving a Taycan<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Porsche Will Still Service Diesel Vehicles<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Porsche is committed to properly serving its customers. It will still service any diesel Porsche at certified Porsche locations. It will also continue to sell certified pre-owned diesel Macan, Panamera, and Cayene models. To clarify, production is discontinued, not the sale of diesel models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
