Porsche Israel: Price surprises in the face of tax regulations

Despite the hope that the Treasury will recover and favor the public good by continuing to benefit from hybrid cars and socket-loaded cars, on January 1, the new regulations that update taxation on these cars came into effect. The main casualties of this move were of course the luxury cars, which the tax benefit did only well. Limiting the benefit ceiling to pure electric cars to a maximum of NIS 60,000 has also damaged these cars, although their numbers are still very small.

Still, in Orchid Sports Car, a Porsche importer for Israel is publishing their updated model pricing, despite changes like the Cayenne Hybrid scrapping - one of its successful models in Israel - revealing some very interesting gasoline versions that have been discounted quite a bit.

Among the big changes in the price and model supply can be found, as mentioned above, downloading the Cayenne plugin versions from the model supply. In the absence of the generous tax benefit they have received in the past, importing these variants is not worthwhile in light of their cost. In contrast, the importer has succeeded in negotiating with the manufacturer to significantly lower gasoline prices.

For example, Cayenne gasoline with the V6 engine whose price was previously NIS 729,000, was reduced to NIS 675,000. The S-version with 440 hp is reduced from NIS 929,000 to NIS 815,000. The Cayenne cash register also reduces prices and starts at NIS 695,000 (compared with NIS 769,000 in the past). From NIS 969,000 to NIS 835,000.

Porsche Panamara Hybrid, has grown and at the same time added a lot of armor

The Porsche Panamara Flag Inn Hybrid, which was one of the main casualties of the increase, though raises its price tag from NIS 795,000 to NIS 830,000 (and from 805 to 855 in the Sports version). On the face of it, the increase is analogous to what the car was supposed to absorb as the tax rate rises from 20 to 25 percent, but there is a definite twist here.

The Panamara Plug-in Hybrid is now importing Orchid Sports Cares in its "10 years" edition to mark 10 years of Panamara. Not only does the package include a car that has so far arrived like a full panoramic sunroof, electric seats, quiet slam, BOSE audio system and more, but also extras like its unique 21-inch rims, special stitching upholstery, matrix lighting and the value of these extras It stands at tens of thousands of shekels, so that the accessory, at least according to the importer, covers the increase as a result of taxation.

One of the most important cars for the Porsche Taiken Everything is electric, is also the one affected by the tax update and the maximum benefit limitation granted to these cars. The Taikan, which cost NIS 847,000 in its entry version, the S4 increases to NIS 875,000. The turbo version increases from NIS 1,257,000 to NIS 1,299,000, while the turbo S supercar increases from NIS 1,537,000 to NIS 1,599,000.
