Porsche And Volkswagen Dealerships Face Shutdowns Amid China Sales Slump

Several Porsche and Volkswagen dealerships across central and southwestern China have reported abrupt operational disruptions. Locations affected include Zhengzhou Zhongyuan Porsche, Guiyang Mengguan Porsche, and Zhengzhou Dongjin Volkswagen. Reports also suggest Beijing Shijingshan Porsche Center may cease sales soon. The closures come amid Porsche’s 26 percent drop in deliveries this year, reflecting weakening demand and financial stress within its retail network.  

Key Highlights  

• Porsche deliveries in China fell 26 percent in 2025, intensifying pressure on dealerships  
• Dealerships in Zhengzhou, Guiyang, and Beijing reported empty showrooms and halted operations  
• Customers who paid deposits or maintenance packages are left uncertain about refunds  
• Henan’s largest Porsche 4S flagship shut overnight, affecting hundreds of buyers and staff salaries  
• Volkswagen dealerships in Zhengzhou also reported disruptions, signaling broader challenges in the market  

The sudden shutdowns underscore the risks facing luxury automakers in China’s evolving automotive landscape, where slowing demand and rising competition from domestic EV makers are reshaping consumer preferences.
