Porsche India welcomes the arrival of the all-new Cayenne, boasting enhanced performance, a sharpened design and more exciting features as standard. The new Cayenne extends the model's evolving, twelve-year success story as it continues to underline its position
as a true sports car amongst SUVs.

The new generation Cayenne is available in four versions in the country - Cayenne Diesel, Cayenne S Diesel, Cayenne S and the Cayenne Turbo.

"The new Porsche Cayenne embodies the ultimate Porsche traits, class-leading performance and outstanding driveability. No matter the road conditions, the new Cayenne delivers a unique automotive experience and we expect our customers to share in the excitement around this thrilling evolution," said Anil Reddi, Director, Porsche India.

In its latest version, Porsche designers have given the Cayenne an even sharper design with precise lines and purposefully placed light refracting edges. Front body, front wings, bonnet and air blades are also newly shaped.

At first glance, the new Cayenne is a Porsche through and through with its bi-xenon headlights and four-point LED daytime running lights. The new layout of the model's rear lights creates a three-dimensional effect with the brake lights designed in four elements. The license plate, boot handle and lights are now integrated more elegantly into the boot lid. In addition to other modifications, the newly developed exhaust tailpipes are now incorporated in the lower rear section, while an automatically activating boot lid is fitted as standard.

In the interior, much of the layout has been shaped around the driver, with a new multifunction sport steering wheel - which can also be found in the 918 Spyder - featuring shift paddles as standard. The rear seating system is even more comfortable, with optional seat ventilation now available for the first time. The new Cayenne also boasts of standard features like air suspension with Porsche Active Suspension Management, Porsche Entry and Drive, four-zone auto climate control and panorama sunroof. Customers can additionally specify their new Cayenne with options like soft-close doors, surround camera as well as the Sport Chrono package which now incorporates Performance Start function.

Power and torque have been boosted while improving fuel economy in line with Porsche's commitment to maximum output from minimum input. All new Cayenne models consume significantly less fuel, with the help of new features including a coasting function, a further advanced auto stop-start function plus (except Diesel) and optimised thermal management, with active cooling air flaps now being used for the first time in the Cayenne. Located behind the middle air inlet, they are opened or closed according to the specific driving situation and cooling needs.

The diesel versions of the new Cayenne combine sportiness with fuel efficiency. The three-litre V6 engine in the Cayenne Diesel produces 245 hp from 3,800 to 4,400 rpm and has a fuel consumption of 7.7 l/100 km. In interplay with its torque of 550 Newton metres from 1,750 to 2,750 rpm, the car can accelerate from zero to 100 km/h in 7.6 seconds (7.5 seconds with the optional Sport Chrono package), and has a top speed of 218 km/h. The 4.2-litre V8 engine of the Cayenne S Diesel produces 385 hp at 3,750 rpm and a torque of 850 Newton metres from 2,000 to 2,750 rpm. From a standstill, it reaches 100 km/h in only 5.4 seconds (5.3 seconds with the optional Sport Chrono package). Its top speed is 252 km/h with fuel consumption of 8.0 l/100 km.

The all-new 3.6-litre V6 bi-turbo engine of the Cayenne S which has been fully developed by Porsche returns fuel consumption between 9.5 and 9.8 l/100 km. This represents one litre less than with the previous V8 engine. The bi-turbo V6 develops a maximum power of 420 hp at 6,000 rpm - a gain of 20 hp. The car's torque of 550 Newton metres (+50 Newton metres) is available from 1,350 to 4,500 rpm. The power density per litre of displacement is now 117 hp, a gain of almost 40 percent. With its standard eight-speed Tiptronic S transmission, the Cayenne S accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in just 5.5 seconds (5.4 seconds with the optional Sport Chrono package) - 0.4 seconds faster than the previous Cayenne S. The vehicle's top speed is 259 km/h.

This lets the Cayenne Turbo accelerate from zero to 100 km/h in a mere 4.5 seconds (4.4 seconds with the optional Sport Chrono package). Its top speed is 279 km/h.
