2018 Porsche Cayenne accidentally leaked

Oops - all-new next generation model appears online days before official launch

Porsche's next-gen Cayenne has been completely revealed with images of the all-new SUV published online ahead of its official debut tomorrow.

In what's thought to have been an accident, the Cayenne broke cover when pics were mistakenly posted by British website, Auto Express.

They were quickly taken down, but not before rival websites like Motor1 grabbed the images and re-posted them.

Following a recently teased sketch, we already knew the all-new Cayenne would feature a sleeker silhouette and the new images, indeed, show a more rakish profile.

Clearly an evolution of the current car's design, the Porsche SUV comes with slimmer front lights, squared-off front air intakes and a strip of LED rear tail lamps which appear to have been lifted from the Panamera.

Inside, the Cayenne also picks-up the Panamera's large infotainment screen.

Porsche has already confirmed the next Cayenne, code-numbered the 'E3',  will share its new MLB platform with the Audi Q7, Bentley Bentayga and forthcoming Volkswagen Touareg.

The all-new Porsche Cayenne is slated to offer turbocharged petrol and diesel V6 and V8s plus a plug-in hybrid powertrain– although the diesel is rumoured to have been delayed because of the Volkswagen Group's  on-going Dieselgate emissions crisis.

Once on sale, some suggest that Porsche might even offer a pure-electric version of the Cayenne to battle with the Tesla Model X.

Sales commence next year but as yet it’s not been confirmed when the Cayenne will land in Australia.

More details are expected following its reveal.
