Porsche has been working on a large luxury SUV since mid-2022, but test mules have been few and far between. Now, a prototype for the Porsche, codenamed K1, has been snapped for the first time, revealing a design quite unlike the Macan, Panamera, Taycan, and Cayenne.
Rumored to be a seven-seater, the big SUV will be considerably longer than any Porsche that has come before it. According to Porsche dealers who have seen the car, “It looks like no other Porsche. There’s a fastback-style rear end, unlike the Macan and Cayenne.”
Others have suggested it has a “dorky” appearance, being “part sedan, part crossover.” Whatever that means—these images certainly depict a fairly conventional-looking SUV, complete with Porsche’s now-customary full-width LED light bar. With much of the body still heavily disguised, though, the final product is likely to be far more handsome with a tighter, more resolved design.
Porsche says it will use lessons learned from the Mission R concept car in developing the K1 SUV. That car used a new 920-volt system, which should mean charging speeds well beyond what’s offered in the Taycan. It also featured a new cell-to-chassis battery layout, with the potential to provide more than 100 kWh of usable capacity and a WLTP electric driving range of more than 500 km.
That bodes well for long-distance luxury, but Porsche CEO Oliver Blume has also promised the car will be suitably sporty. “We want it to look like a Porsche, be about 20 percent larger than the Cayenne coupe, charge significantly faster and drive significantly farther than a Taycan, and perform well enough that an eventual Porsche electric supercar doesn’t seem like such a silly idea.
