Under which company is Porsche?
3 Answers
Porsche is under the Volkswagen Group. The following is additional information: Introduction to Porsche: Porsche, also known as Porsche, was established in Stuttgart, Germany. Introduction to Porsche SUVs: Porsche currently has two SUV models: the Porsche Cayenne and the Porsche Macan. The Porsche Cayenne is positioned as a mid-to-large SUV, while the Porsche Macan is positioned as a midsize SUV. The dimensions of the Porsche Cayenne are 4855mm in length, 1939mm in width, and 1705mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2895mm. The dimensions of the Porsche Macan are 4681mm in length, 1923mm in width, and 1624mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2807mm.
After working in car repairs for over a decade, I've noticed many people don't know much about Porsche's background. Actually, it's a luxury brand under the Volkswagen Group, sharing the same corporate family with Lamborghini and Bentley. Although it carries an independent badge, its chassis platforms and electronic architectures share resources with Volkswagen. For example, the Cayenne and Audi Q7 both use the MLB platform, and even gear shifters are common parts. However, Porsche's design center in Stuttgart maintains a high degree of autonomy, and its signature horizontally opposed engine tuning remains its unique expertise. Porsche owners often say they buy the brand for that German precision engineering, and they don't really mind it being part of the Volkswagen family.
When accompanying a friend to pick up the Porsche Taycan last time, the salesperson specifically mentioned that the brand belongs to the Volkswagen Group. I recall that after Volkswagen fully acquired Porsche in 2012, resource integration became particularly evident. The Volkswagen MQB platform was used to develop high-volume models like the Macan, while battery technology was jointly developed with the Audi e-tron. Interestingly, Porsche has contributed many technologies back to Volkswagen, such as the Panamera's hybrid system later being used in the Bentley Bentayga. Although under the same parent company, Porsche showrooms are always set up separately, and even the after-sales service workshops maintain an independent system.
