Porsche first announced its expansive growth plans in the summer of 2022. A key component of that growth plan is targeting “higher margin” segments. And Porsche announced one vehicle that will do that: a new three-row, flagship, all-electric luxury SUV that will slot above the Macan and Cayenne and reportedly goes by the codename “K1.”
Porsche has not revealed the full details yet, but we have gotten our first unofficial look at the K1. Here’s what we know about the new three-row SUV so far.
Here’s our first look at Porsche’s 3-Row Electric SUV
We got our first unofficial look at the K1 via Glenn Paulina’s photos for Car and Driver seen in the Instagram post above. The images show a camouflaged black SUV putting in its paces on a test track, with a visible roof rack, wraparound taillights similar to those seen on the Cayenne and headlights that look almost identical to those on the Macan EV.
The big different is the size and silhouette. The K1 certainly appears larger than Porsche’s other SUVs, and its rear is more squared-off as opposed to the fastback style of the Cayenne and Macan. It still looks plenty sporty, though, almost like a sleeker BMW X5. Its appearance seems to line up with Porsche CEO Oliver Blume’s previous statement calling it “a very sporting interpretation of an SUV” and dealers describing it as “rakish” and “part sedan, part crossover.”
