Next month, Porsche will give the current Cayenne a thorough facelift (pictured here) to keep the posh SUV fresh and competitive. At the same time, the luxury brand is preparing for the inevitable electric future by deciding where it will manufacture the zero-emission, fourth-generation model. In an announcement made today, the Volkswagen Group brand says the EV is going to be assembled in Bratislava (Slovakia) together with the ICE model.
With virtually all automakers gradually transitioning from combustion-engined cars to EVs, taking crucial decisions regarding logistics are imperative. The Bratislava plant is home to many VAG models built on the MLB Evo platform as aside from the Cayenne and Cayenne Coupe, the Touareg is also made there together with the Audi Q7 and Q8. The tiny VW up! and Skoda Karoq are manufactured in Slovakia as well.
