Volkswagen has opened its gates to Porsche’s Cayenne further more, with the company announcing its Osnabruck plant in Germany will also bring Porsche’s SUV to the world starting from 2015.
Without mentioning it, the annoucement refers to the Cayenne facelift, which is currently in the final testing phase. With high demand backing the decision, Osnabruck will assemble the Cayenne from summer 2015.
Porsche’s site in Leipzig remains the motherland for the Cayenne, but Osnabruck will also give birth to about 20,000 units of the car per year, following an EUR 25 million (US$ million) investment.
At the moment, the Cayenne gets its body shells from the VW plant in Bratislava, Slovakia, with the rest of the production process taking place in Leipzig. The latter also churns out the Panamera and the new Macan.
The move is part of a bigger plan that sees Porsche aiming to reinvent its production process by 2018.
“The employees in Osnabrück have proven with their many years of experience in sports car production, that they deliver the highest Porsche quality . We appreciate the opportunity to trust them a part of the final assembly of the Cayenne. This is an important contribution to achieving the Porsche strategy goals in 2018," said Flower.
As for the vehicle itself, the Cayenne will follow the Panamera down the mid-cycle refresh. Visually we won’t get too many changes, with the same being true about the cabin. Porsche being Porsche will make the most notable changes in the tech department. The 2015 Porsche Cayenne facelift’s engine compartment, to be more precise.
