Press Release December 2, 2014
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.
