"All-electric Cayenne and Panamera most likely will be the next step"

Is there really room for an electric Panamera and Taycan ?

Will Taycan ever really be "the small one" ?

Electric Cayenne in 2024. Porsche newsroom and Panorama magazines are great sources. I check newsroom site daily.

I saw pictures of the next gen Pana (no mention of full electric) out testing so surprisingly it lives for another generation. I can't honestly see a place for it if it goes full electric (it is a Taycan by any other name more so now there is an ST variant). Cayenne will come when Bentley has the Bentayga platform sorted (as will the Urus & Touareg) given they're all the same basic chassis.

I'd expect the next gen Panamera will probably grow in size and probably offer more luxuries in order to create more separation between it and the Taycan. Porsche thinks of the Taycan like a 5 series and the Panamera like a 7 series but the the size and pricing dont' currently have the same separation as BMW/Audi/MB do w/ their mid vs large sedans which causes confusion.

You may be right. The current Taycan and Panamera are too close in dimensions to justify an independent survival going forward. Supersizing the Panamera would be a way out.

It's the same size and is just an evolution of the current gen. Does offer soft close and other luxuries that the Taycan currently doesn't.

There is already the exec model which has a longer wheelbase and longer rear doors. Built originally for the Chinese market but sold worldwide.

You may well be right, but the current-gen Panamera is such a whale already! Still love it, just sold mine, but that thing was sometimes a bother to drive in tight city streets, it is just so freakin' huge.
