From what I've read, this is potentially a new sedan version of the Cayenne, not the SUV version. Will be curious to see the SUV - not a fan of this one.

Crossover.

If you compare this to a Panamera you will see a big difference in the nose. It's much bigger than the sedan and the vehicles sits much higher (much more space between tire and fender lip).

Sort of like the X6 BMW - which they really can't give away.. I'd expect about the same sales response to a Porsche version.

Right, X6 / GLE Coupe competitor.

I like the stance, but it's foreshortened by the camera. I'd like to see a clear profile. I've never needed the full height to the tail for cargo, but see that a fastback is problematic for those needing a full roof rack.

That's sort of rhetorical. I hope Porsche doesn't go the route of BMW who now makes a plethora of mediocre models with one designed for any desire or lifestyle. It has to make support a nightmare.

This is supposedly just a test mule for the mission-e powertrain

There was a video some months back showing a tour of Porsche's storage facility. Lots of test mules and other prototypes. Many times one body style was used to test the drive train for something completely different. Given the deadline of no ICE sales in Germany by 2030, it's not surprising to see all kinds of body styles being used to test electric platforms.

Agree, but from that photo (and a couple others I've seen of late) it sure appears they're going down the path of the BMW/Benz 'twins'.

Guess we'll have to wait and see.

I'd love to see them make an E-class/A6/5 series equivalent sedan. Doubt this is it, but it's a fairly robust market they're not in.

Actually, sedan market is contracting. SUV market expanding. I see a ton of X4, X6, GLE coupes..,,and the sales figures bear it out.

Based on that "Shock warning" sticker on the front my guess is they are also testing a Tesla-rivalling powertrain. I don't mind hybrid tech, but an all-electric Porsche is not that appealing to me..

On the bright side, I've heard the V8 is making a comeback on the next-gen Cayenne GTS
