The Volkswagen Group E platform was a series of automobile platforms shared among multiple marques of sport utility vehicles (SUVs) (4x4s in the European market). It was co-developed by Volkswagen Group and Porsche AG. All platform users shared the Volkswagen Bratislava Plant in Slovakia, with the Porsche Cayenne having final assembly at the Porsche plant at Leipzig.
