Porsche sold 3,526 Cayennes and 2,600 Macans in the U.S. through March, according to the Automotive News Data Center.

The Macan was Porsche's best-seller in Europe with a volume of 3,457 in the first two months, according to JATO Dynamics. The Cayenne was No. 2 with 2,762 sales.
Separately, Maier reaffirmed expectations that Porsche's global deliveries will exceed 200,000 cars this year, hitting a long-planned target three years early.
