What Is the Welcome to Porsche Program?

Have you been thinking about switching from another luxury brand to Porsche, but you're still in the middle of a lease or finance agreement?

The Welcome to Porsche program is designed to make that transition easier for eligible customers who are currently leasing or financing a vehicle from another automotive brand.

Through Porsche Financial Services, qualifying customers may be eligible for a credit toward an eligible new Porsche lease or finance contract. The program can potentially help offset payments remaining on a customer's current competitive lease or retail finance agreement.

For drivers considering their first Porsche, it can be an opportunity to make the move to the Porsche brand without necessarily waiting until the end of their current vehicle contract.

How Does Welcome to Porsche Work?

The basic concept is straightforward.

If you currently lease or finance a vehicle from another automotive brand, you may qualify for a credit when you lease or finance an eligible Porsche through Porsche Financial Services.

Under the current program structure, eligible customers can receive a credit equivalent to the value of up to three payments on their existing competitive contract, with a maximum of $1,500 per payment and $4,500 total. The credit is applied to the new Porsche Financial Services contract as a manufacturer rebate.

In other words, instead of waiting for your current lease or finance agreement to end, the program may help make it possible to transition into a Porsche sooner.

A simple example

Suppose you're currently leasing a qualifying vehicle from another manufacturer and have three payments remaining.

If you meet all program requirements, the Welcome to Porsche program could potentially provide a credit corresponding to those remaining payments, up to the program's maximum.

The exact credit depends on your existing contract and the applicable Porsche program terms. It is not simply a blanket $4,500 discount for every customer.

Who Is Eligible for Welcome to Porsche?

The program is intended for customers who are currently leasing or financing a vehicle from another brand.

There are several important requirements.

Generally, you must:

• Currently lease or finance a qualifying vehicle from another manufacturer

• Be the lessee, co-lessee, borrower or co-borrower on the existing contract

• Lease or finance an eligible Porsche through Porsche Financial Services

• Meet the applicable timing requirements for your current lease or finance agreement

• Obtain credit approval through Porsche Financial Services

• Meet all other current program requirements

Program benefits are not transferable, and not every customer will qualify. Porsche Financial Services also reserves the right to change or terminate the program.

Because program terms and eligible vehicles can change, it is important to check the current requirements when you're ready to make a move.

Which Porsche Models Are Eligible?

The current Welcome to Porsche program information lists several Porsche models that may be eligible, including:

• Porsche Cayenne

• Porsche Taycan

• Porsche Macan Electric

• Porsche Panamera

• Porsche Macan

• Porsche Cayenne Electric

The specific model-year eligibility can vary. The current program information includes MY26 and MY27 vehicles for some models and MY26 vehicles for others. Eligible new vehicles, as well as certain former Porsche service loaner or demonstration vehicles, may qualify under the program.

Because Porsche updates its programs, customers should confirm that the specific Porsche they are considering qualifies at the time of purchase or lease.

Can I Use Welcome to Porsche if I'm Currently Leasing a BMW, Mercedes-Benz or Audi?

Potentially, yes.

The program is specifically designed for customers coming from another automotive brand.

That means someone currently leasing or financing a vehicle from another manufacturer may be able to use the program when transitioning to an eligible Porsche, provided all applicable requirements are met.

For example, a customer currently driving a BMW X5, Mercedes-Benz GLE, Audi Q7 or another qualifying competitive vehicle could potentially explore whether the Welcome to Porsche program applies to their situation.

The important factor is not simply the brand of the vehicle. Your existing contract, vehicle, remaining term and the Porsche you're acquiring all need to meet the program's requirements.

What Happens to My Current Lease or Finance Contract?

This is an important distinction.

The Welcome to Porsche program does not simply erase your existing vehicle contract.

Instead, the program provides a credit toward the new Porsche Financial Services contract when the customer meets the applicable requirements.

Your existing lease or finance agreement still needs to be handled according to its terms. Porsche White Plains can help review your situation and explain how the current program applies to your transition.

Customers should not assume that a remaining balance, payoff amount or lease obligation is automatically eliminated.

Why Would Someone Use Welcome to Porsche?

The biggest advantage is timing.

You may have already decided that your next vehicle will be a Porsche, but your current lease may still have several payments remaining.

Without a program such as Welcome to Porsche, you might decide to wait until the end of your existing contract.

With an eligible offer, you may be able to make the transition sooner while receiving a credit toward the new Porsche contract.

That can be particularly appealing to someone whose current vehicle contract is approaching maturity but who doesn't want to wait several more months before moving into a Porsche.

Which Porsche Might Be Right for You?

Welcome to Porsche is not tied to just one type of Porsche.

Your next vehicle could depend on how you use your vehicle every day.

Porsche Macan

The Macan offers the performance and character associated with Porsche in a more practical SUV format.

For someone currently driving a compact or midsize luxury SUV, the Macan can be a natural introduction to Porsche ownership.

Porsche Macan Electric

For drivers interested in moving from a gasoline-powered luxury SUV to an EV, the all-electric Macan combines Porsche performance with electric power.

Porsche Cayenne

The Cayenne provides more space and versatility while maintaining the performance-oriented character expected from Porsche.

It can be an appealing alternative for customers currently driving larger luxury SUVs.

Porsche Taycan

For drivers ready to make the move to an all-electric sports sedan, the Taycan offers a very different interpretation of EV performance.

Porsche Panamera

The Panamera combines sports-car performance with the comfort and practicality of a luxury four-door.

The right choice depends on your priorities, driving habits and how you want to use your Porsche.

Is Welcome to Porsche the Same as a Lease Loyalty Program?

No.

Porsche Financial Services offers several different programs, and it is important not to confuse them.

Welcome to Porsche is designed primarily for customers coming from another automotive brand.

Lease Loyalty and End of Term Loyalty programs are designed around existing Porsche Financial Services customers and their transition into another Porsche.

If you already drive a Porsche financed or leased through Porsche Financial Services, a different program may be more relevant to you.

What Should I Bring to Porsche White Plains?

If you're interested in seeing whether Welcome to Porsche applies to your situation, it helps to have information about your current vehicle contract available.

That can include:

• Your current vehicle

• Current lease or finance company

• Contract maturity date

• Number of remaining payments

• Current monthly payment

• Lease or finance account information

• Vehicle identification number

• Current mileage, if you're leasing

Having this information allows the Porsche White Plains team to better understand your current situation and determine which programs may apply.

Is Welcome to Porsche Available All the Time?

This is an important question.

Porsche Financial Services programs are subject to specific dates, vehicle eligibility requirements, contract requirements and other terms, and Porsche can change or discontinue an offer.

The Porsche White Plains website currently promotes Welcome to Porsche with credits of up to $4,500, but the detailed program terms specify a particular contract window.

For that reason, customers should confirm the current offer and eligibility requirements with Porsche White Plains before assuming a particular credit is available.

Your First Porsche May Be Closer Than You Think

If you've been considering Porsche but still have time remaining on your current luxury vehicle lease or finance agreement, it may be worth investigating Welcome to Porsche.

The program is designed to help eligible customers transition from another automotive brand into an eligible Porsche through Porsche Financial Services, potentially providing a credit toward the new contract.

Whether you're interested in a Macan, Macan Electric, Cayenne, Taycan or Panamera, Porsche White Plains can help you understand the current program, evaluate your existing vehicle contract and explore your Porsche options.
