A number of Porsche and Volkswagen dealerships in central and southwestern China are experiencing operational disruptions, including empty showrooms and unresolved customer deposits according multiple reports.

Affected locations include Zhengzhou Zhongyuan Porsche, Guiyang Mengguan Porsche, Zhengzhou Dongjin Volkswagen, and Beijing Shijingshan Porsche Center, where sales may soon cease.

Dong’an Holdings, the parent group, has placed employees on leave and plans to address customer deposits in batches, with no confirmed timeline for reopening.

Porsche China apologized on December 25 and is cooperating with authorities to resolve the issues. Globally, Porsche deliveries declined 6%, with operating profit dropping 99% year-on-year.

The disruptions occur amid broader pressures in China’s luxury car market, where Porsche deliveries fell 26% year-on-year through the first three quarters of 2025.

Porsche China plans to reduce its dealer network from roughly 150 outlets to 120 by the end of 2025 and around 80 by the end of 2026 to improve operational efficiency.

Industry observers call for stronger dealer oversight and regulatory coordination to protect consumers and prevent similar incidents.
