Porsche is reportedly having trouble making the electric mid-engine models as dynamic as the ICE models
Porsche reportedly struggles to match the dynamics of gas-powered 718s with all-electric models. The seven-seat K1 electric SUV may need redesigning to support combustion engine compatibility. Sales declines of the Taycan and Macan challenge the brand’s push for electrification by 2030. Porsche wants 80% of sales to come from electric vehicles by 2030, and while its ambition should be applauded, it’s allegedly facing challenges in electrifying its popular line-up.
Porsche has also spent several years working on a new seven-seat SUV to sit above the Cayenne, known as the K1, but the timeline for the new SUV could be altered, too. The report states Porsche wants to see if the K1 – originally developed as a pure EV – can be modified to adopt a combustion engine. This may necessitate a switch from the VW Group’s Scalable Systems Platform to the same underpinnings as the current Cayenne.
