German car firm is looking to expand its crossover family by launching yet another such model.
A report dating back to earlier this week states that dealers have been shown a vehicle with a bigger overall footprint than the Cayenne. One of them described it as “part sedan, part crossover,” whereas another said that it is “very un-Porsche-like.”
Supposedly codenamed the ‘Landjet,’ it is a three-row model, with seating for seven, expected to debut in the second half of the decade. Rumor has it that it’s being built as part of Audi’s Project Artemis, and should launch with plug-in hybrid power, as well as a battery-electric variant with a range of over 400 miles (645+ km).
Inspired by this rumor, the peeps at Kolesa set to work, imagining how the so-called Porsche Landjet could look like. The renderings don’t have much in common with what dealers said about it, as they were based on the current Cayenne, and have a very Taycan-ish whiff at both ends. If anything, the digital illustrations look more like the next-gen Cayenne than a new model that would sit above it in terms of size, but then again, we cannot be certain of anything at this point.
A mysterious spy photo of a new Porsche model has been hunted at one of the brand’s facilities in Germany. Covered with a tarp preventing its design from being seen, the immense proportions point to the flagship and 100% electric that the manufacturer is preparing.
Porsche ‘K1’ Flagship SUV to Share Platform with Audi Q9
Porsche’s upcoming seven-seat flagship SUV, codenamed K1, has shifted away from its original all-electric concept and will now share a platform with the Audi Q9, featuring petrol and plug-in hybrid powertrains.
Key Details:
The K1 will be built on Volkswagen Group’s Premium Platform Combustion (PPC) architecture, alongside the forthcoming Audi Q9
It will be offered with twin-turbo 4.0-litre V8 and 3.0-litre V6 engines, with power outputs expected to mirror the Cayenne’s 348–730bhp range
The SUV will be available in four-, five-, and seven-seat configurations, competing with the BMW X7 and Mercedes-Benz GLS
A UK launch is tentatively scheduled for 2028, approximately 12 months after the Q9’s debut
The shift away from a pure EV was driven by declining Taycan sales, software delays in the Scalable Systems Platform, and financial pressures
An all-electric K1 is still planned for a later date
Production is expected to take place at VW Group’s Bratislava plant in Slovakia
