最近谍照记者拍到了2018款保时捷卡宴冬季测试照片，当时这款车只进行了轻度伪装。车尾采用黑色胶带遮住了尾灯组边缘，车身其他地方也进行了一些遮盖。轮拱设计似乎还不是最终量产版，而车头也有一些地方用胶带进行了遮盖。可以看到新车采用了新的大灯，而它的LED日间行驶灯则与 Mission E概念车一样。保时捷下一代卡宴采用的是大众集团的MLB Evo平台，但保时捷对其进行了例行改进以确保其驾乘感受与大众车型不同。新平台使卡宴的重量进一步降低，这有助于提升其燃油经济性。同时，由于簧载质量降低，性能也获得提升，加速性也比现行版更优异。更重要的是，新车动力系统也获得提升，因此车辆无论制动、转向还是加速性都比现行版反应更灵敏。保时捷预计将在今年底或明年向市场推出下一代卡宴。

 

2018 Porsche Cayenne spied with very little disguise

The latest batch of spyshots showcases a 2018 Porsche Cayenne going through winter testing, and the exhibit has only a few areas of its body covered in camouflage. The rear end has black tape over the edges of its tail lights, along with other bits of tape over some ornaments.

 

The wheel arches have a set of ornaments that might not reach production in that form, while the front also has some of the tape we mentioned above. You can observe a set of new headlamps, which have a LED daytime running light setup that reminds us of the Mission E concept.

 

Porsche’s next-generation Cayenne is built on the MLB Evo platform of the Volkswagen Group, but the Zuffenhausen brand has done its usual routine with it to ensure that the result will feel different when compared to its cousins from the German conglomerate.

 

The new platform will bring a lighter Cayenne on the market, which will also benefit from improved fuel economy. Evidently, performance will also be enhanced, because the vehicle will have a reduced sprung mass, along with the ability to accelerate faster thanks to less weight it needed to move.

 

Moreover, the engine lineup is also getting improvements, so the Cayenne should be quicker than the current model in all possible scenarios: breaking, cornering, and acceleration.

 

Porsche could launch the next-generation Cayenne by the end of this year, but there is a chance that the German brand will schedule the market release for 2018.
