Porsche made its one millionth Macan: What makes it the brand's best-selling car?

The one millionth Porsche Macan is the Macan 4, sold in a Frozen Blue Metallic colourway. (Porsche) Check Offers Porsche has announced that it rolled out its one millionth Macan from the production line last week. The German carmaker achieved this milestone 12 years after the compact SUV first hit the production line in late 2013. In contrast, the Porsche 911 took nearly 54 years of continuous production, beginning in 1964, to reach the same milestone. The Porsche Macan has been manufactured in the Leipzig plant in Germany since its inception and has quickly become the brand's best-selling car, despite infrequent tussles with the Cayenne SUV. The Macan is now the fastest Porsche to have hit the one million mark, with the Cayenne having taken 18 years to do the same.
