Macan UK Registrations 2017 to 2020

[SmallWheels]

After following some discussions here about the relative popularity of the different models I put the following table together showing the actual UK registrations for the various models using data from the howmanyleft.co.uk site.

Interesting takeaways:
GTS share was consistently around 20% when it was available.
Turbo (and Turbo Performance) share was consistently around 9%
S and Base slugged it out for the remaining share, varying by years

Thanks for posting this info. It's surprising how well sales held up during 2020 with all the disruption due to the pandemic. Total sales never fully recovered from the withdrawal of the SD.

I'm surprised by the 48% share for the base in 2018 - i could understand the removal of the diesel version perhaps pushing people towards the 2.0T for the supposed lower running costs, but that seems awfully high and is not yet reflected in the advertised cars for sale currently (OPC or non OPC). Maybe they built up stock/dedicated more production to the base so people bought for a shorter lead time ?

It was definitely the (much) shorter lead time on the 2.0 compared to the S or the SD that prompted me to buy a 2.0 in 2016, when it replaced my company car.

I can even remember one of your early posts saying the 2.0 had enough power for anyone's needs

It would be interesting to see how this compares to global sales as it does vary by region. I dont believe the Diesel was offered as a standard option in USA so would imagine their numbers might look very different.

The 2.0 does have enough power for anyones needs. Peoples desires however is a different thing....

Yes, when certain people were bashing the humble 2.0, probably.

Now I’ve got a 480+bhp motor that devours turbos!

Quite possibly because Porsche launched the facelift in 2018 on the base only, the S only became available about 6 months later.

I know because I got my wife a 2018 base in volcano

You could not order a facelift S until early December with deliveries late March 2019 onwards. Whereas the 2.0 litres were configurable from about September with 1st deliveries about a month later. The last gen1 deliveries would have been about August
