Porsche has fundamentally overhauled the third generation of the Cayenne with comprehensive changes to the powertrain, chassis, design and equipment. This has further extended not only on-road and off-road performance, but also luxurious everyday comfort. The new Cayenne debuts with a highly digitalised display and control concept, new chassis technology and innovative high-tech features.
In Europe, the new Porsche Cayenne debuts with three different engine versions. An extensive refinement of the four-litre V8 biturbo engine replaces the previous V6 engine in the new Cayenne S. With a maximum output of 474 PS and a torque of 600 Nm – 34 PS and 50 Nm more than its predecessor – it accelerates both the SUV and the SUV Coupé to 100 km/h in 4.7 seconds. The top speed is 273 km/h. The entry into the world of the Cayenne comes with an optimised three-litre V6 turbo engine. It now generates 353 PS and 500 Nm, which is 13 PS and 50 Nm more than before.
The six-cylinder engine also forms the basis for the powertrain of the Cayenne E-Hybrid. In combination with a new electric motor that has been improved by 30 kW to 130 kW (176 PS), the combined output increases to 346 kW (470 PS). Equipped with a high-voltage battery with a capacity increased from 17.9 kWh to 25.9 kWh, depending on the equipment level, a purely electric range according to the WLTP of up to 90 kilometres is now possible.
For the first time, the redesigned cockpit of the Cayenne includes a fully digital 12.6-inch instrument cluster with a so-called curved and free-standing design and variable display options. An optimised head-up display is available as an option. The standard 12.3-inch central Porsche Communication Management (PCM) display integrates harmoniously into the new dashboard and provides access to all the relevant vehicle functions.
The new Cayenne now has a particularly expressive appearance. A new front end combined with more strongly arched wings, a new bonnet and technically appealing headlights emphasise the vehicle’s width. Matrix LED Headlights are now standard in the new Cayenne. HD Matrix LED Headlights are a new optional feature. In addition, customers can use a comprehensive range of new and optimised assistance systems.
