Overview

• Porsche will launch its planned flagship three-row SUV as internal-combustion and plug‑in hybrid variants instead of a battery‑electric model, and will keep combustion options for Panamera and Cayenne well into the 2030s.
• Top versions of the next 718 Boxster and Cayman will retain gasoline engines alongside the incoming EV range, revising earlier plans to go electric‑only on those models.
• Volkswagen forecasts about €5.1 billion in group impact tied to Porsche’s reset, including a €3 billion writedown and roughly €2.1 billion hit to operating profit, as Porsche cuts its 2025 margin guidance to around 2%.
• Porsche says certain BEVs are delayed and a new EV platform has been rescheduled into the 2030s for a redesign with other VW Group brands, while Taycan, Macan Electric and a Cayenne EV remain in the pipeline.
• Bentley confirms pure‑petrol successors to the Bentayga, Continental GT and Flying Spur and still plans its first EV in 2026 with annual PHEV or EV launches, underscoring a broader luxury shift to mixed drivetrains.
