The new Autonomous Porsche SUV model will benefit from “synergies”, suggesting a possible collaboration with Audi
–>
- Porsche is considering a new SUV offered with combustion and hybrid powertrain.
- The Macan will become an EV model only once the gas supplied by gas is interrupted.
- The coming outings include a Cayenne EV, 718 EV sports cars and a new flagship 911 garnish.
Porsche presented its latest product roadmap at its annual conference in 2025, highlighting the future of its range. The biggest news? Beyond the reaffirmation of its commitment to a mixture of combustion engines, rechargeable hybrids and all electric transmissions over its entire range in the 2030s, the automaker now plans to add a new gas SUV to its list. If it is approved, this model could join the Macan EV and Cayenne by the end of the decade.
A new SUV in progress
The company said it “currently assesses an independent model line in the SUV segment” which would benefit from existing “synergies”. Recent spy blows suggest that this nameless Porsche could share the combustion architecture of premium platform (PPC) with the new generation Audi Q5. However, Porsche promises that the new SUV will include a distinct design with its signature style, a higher interior and a chassis configuration adapted to its brand identity.

Earlier this year, Porsche planned to offer a new generation of the ice macan to join the Macan EV. However, these plans were officially rebuilt and a new autonomous SUV being chosen instead. Porsche has confirmed that the Macan will be sold exclusively as VE, once the combustion engine version is deleted from the remaining markets.
The future of Macan and Cayenne
As for Cayenne, Porsche describes the future fourth generation of the medium -sized SUV as an “completely developed and designed electric model.” The Cayenne EV will be sold alongside the current third generation model, which will continue to be available in forms of combustion and hybrid “well in the 2030s”. The spy blows confirm that the electric model will be available in SUV and coupe-Suv body styles. However, Porsche made no mention of the flagship SUV of rumors, named K1, which should make its debut in 2028.
Electric 718 and a new flagship of 911
Porsche also said that the highly anticipated electric successors of the 718 Boxster and Cayman will arrive some time after the Cayenne EV, effectively confirming previous reports of delay. The company has also abandoned some tips on adding to the 911 range.
The recently refreshed 911 will soon obtain a “Heritage” model in limited edition of exclusive Porsche Manufaktur, inspired by the retro style of the 1970s. In addition, a brand new lighthouse 911 is in preparation, described as a model that “will increase the bar even more” in the sports cars segment – probably allusion to a 911 GT2 RS of new generation.
2025 forecasts and reductions in the workforce
Porsche is expecting a difficult year to come, citing the increase in competition from China and geopolitical instability as key concerns. Consequently, the company provides for a drop in sales for 2025, falling below 310,718 units delivered in 2024 – a figure which was already down 3% compared to the previous year. The company also estimates that electric vehicles will represent 33 to 35% of total sales, fully electric models representing 20 to 22%.

To adapt to changing market conditions, Porsche plans to invest an additional 800 million euros ($ 872 million) this year, focusing on product portfolio adjustments, software development and battery technology.
However, these changes have a cost. As part of an ongoing restructuring effort, Porsche will eliminate around 1,900 jobs by 2029 thanks to a “restrictive hiring policy” and other “socially acceptable measures”. In addition, the company plans to reduce its global workforce by 2,000 others thanks to the expiration of fixed -term employment contracts. A new structural overhaul is currently in negotiations, with details that should be announced in the second half of 2025.
Leadership changes in Porsche
Porsche has also made key changes to its board of directors. Dr. Jochen Breckner has taken responsibility for finance and computer science, the longtime frame Lutz Meschke. Meanwhile, Matthias Becker intervened as a new sales and marketing chief, replacing Detlev von Platen.
