Porsche confirms plans for an SUV model based on a new Sport variant of Scalable Systems Platform (SSP) architecture – a dedicated electric-vehicle platform to be used by a number of different brands across the Volkswagen Group. Plans for the SUV were revealed in a long-term platform strategy update provided by Porsche Chairman Oliver Blume. He says the upcoming third-generation Panamera and second-generation Taycan will be based on the same SSP platform. "We plan to add a new luxury, all-electric SUV model to our portfolio, which will roll off the production line in Leipzig (Germany)," Blume says. "This will further expand our position in the luxury segment. We are targeting the higher-margin segments in particular and aim to tap into new sales opportunities this way." Further details of the SUV, which is to be priced above the Macan (pictured, below) and Cayenne when it launches during the latter half of the decade, remain under wraps.
