It is said that Porsche is the most successful ultra-luxury brand, and its most classic model is the Porsche 911, almost every generation of models will become the object of fans' pursuit, and the Xiaomi SU7 that was launched not long ago is also a variety of benchmarking electric versions of the 911 Porsche Taycan. But did you know that Porsche's most profitable thing is not sports cars, but SUV models, especially the current flagship SUV Cayenne, which has enabled Porsche to successfully turn losses into profits and get rid of the curse of making sports cars without making money.
Now, Porsche is bringing a new model in the SUV segment, the new car has not yet been officially named, and the internal code name is "K1", but it is known that it is positioned higher than the Cayenne and adopts a new electric architecture. It is expected to be the next seven-seater flagship SUV of the Porsche brand, and the new car is expected to be officially launched in 2027.
Recently, overseas media took a group of test spy photos of early prototypes near the Porsche factory in Germany. The new car looks much larger than the Cayenne, and the design language of the whole car is significantly different from that of the Macan EV, and is closer to the design style of the current Cayenne. In particular, the headlight cluster adopts the latest split structure of the family, and the inside of the lamp cavity is also a recognizable four-point light source
The rear styling is also basically the same as that of the current Cayenne, and the taillights adopt the same through-line design language as the Macan EV, and the lighting effect is more eye-catching. The license plate frame area has an obvious concave design, which further enhances the three-dimensional sense of the parking space. The lower bracket has a large diffuser styling and is also equipped with an electric tow hook.
As for the interior, there are no spy photos leaked yet, but judging from the existing news, the car has a culture that the interior of the new car is likely to continue to use the same design language as the Cayenne, but it will be adjusted in details, such as the screen size and intelligent configuration.
In terms of power, the flagship SUV of the family is expected to be equipped with Porsche's strongest pure electric power unit, so the power parameters should be the same as those of the Taycan family, and of course, it is not ruled out that a more powerful version will be introduced. Since it is a large SUV with four-wheel steering, it is natural that auxiliary control configurations such as electronic differential locks will not be absent.
Porsche, which has made great achievements in the sports car circle, has now brought a large electric SUV, so what kind of driving experience will this big guy have? Let's wait and see!
