Remember that this is the number 1 family car in Porsche's lineup and they wouldn't want to alienate loyal customers who guy the Cayenne for practicality. BMW on the other hand has room to play with the X6 since they have other SUVs to offer like the X3, X5 and the X1 that's on the way. But the car should look more sporty than the X5, ML and current Cayenne thanks to the slanted rear end.

The reason you might mistake the size and shape for an Audi is because the car is based on the Q5 rather than the Touareg like the first generation Cayenne. Porsche are aiming to make a more road focused Cayenne in a slightly lighter package. On the other hand, interior space will be a bit more generous compared with the Q5.
I though I was the only one already mistaking it for an Audi.

Yes the line-up will pretty much be the same as the current one, and the same applies for the engines.

Like I've illustrated rear end sections from the current Cayenne have been glued on to the corners of the test mules disguising the real lights hidden beneath. As for the D-pillar it won't be thicker and the real shape of it is clear visible if you ignore the deceiving white marker outlining a fake green house.
The car is about 18 months away from launch so what we see here is production ready mules with cladding on the bonnet, front bumper, head lights and rear corners.

It's a combination of both. Don't think the size is going to be smaller to a high degree since Porsche wouldn't want to alienate their customers. Believe it or not but the Cayenne is a very popular family car and work horse.

More details on Porsche’s next-generation Cayenne SUV
Prototypes for Porsche’s next-generation Cayenne have been spotted testing in Germany on several occasions, revealing crucial details for the new SUV which is expected to go on sale by May 2010. First and foremost, we know the next Cayenne will be smaller than the current model although it will still share a common platform with the next-generation Volkswagen Touareg and Audi Q7, both of which are not expected to change significantly in size compared with the current models.
The smaller size of the new Cayenne agrees with Porsche’s desire to create a much more hard-core performance SUV than the current model, which has been criticized for being too heavy. The wheelbase will be shortened by almost 4cm, while the height will be reduced by 2cm, reports AutoBild. Other details include a taller waistline and LED daytime running lights.
Like the current model, the Cayenne will be built alongside the Touareg and Q7 in Volkswagen Group’s Bratislava plant in Slovakia. Unfinished Cayennes will then be transported to Porsche’s Leipzig plant for final assembly.
Once again both V6 and V8 petrol engines will be on offer, but a new turbodiesel V6 and as well as a petrol-electric hybrid model to be shared with the upcoming Panamera sedan will be included in the new lineup. Power will increase across the range over the current model’s levels but emissions and fuel-economy will be reduced.
Kicking off the range will be an Audi-sourced 3.0L V6 turbodiesel with about 240hp (179kW) on tap. This will be followed by a 3.6L petrol V6 with 330hp (246kW) and a 400hp (298kW) 4.8L naturally aspirated V8. The Cayenne S will get a 420hp (312kW) version of this V8 engine, while a 500hp-plus (373kW) twin-turbocharged V8 will be reserved for the Turbo model. Finally, the hybrid model will feature the 330hp (246kW) V6 engine coupled with a 45hp (34kW) electric motor powered by nickel metal hydride batteries initially and lithium-ion units further down the track.
All engines will include Porsche’s new direct-injection technology, and some could even be matched to the carmaker’s new dual-clutch gearbox. Expect to see 0-60mph times of less than five seconds for top end models and top speeds in excess of 180mph.
