Porsche discontinued the original Macan in Europe last year, not because it wanted to, but because it had to. The gasoline crossover failed to meet the General Safety Regulation (GSR2) that came into effect in July 2024, forcing Zuffenhausen to pull the plug on its cash cow on the Old Continent. It’s still available in other parts of the world that don’t adhere to GSR2 legislation. However, the first-gen Macan’s days are numbered as production will end next year. What comes after? A new gas-fueled crossover.
