The Cayenne models use power
and performance for more than
just driving pleasure. All four cars
have a large and variable rear
luggage compartment with power
closing tailgate as standard.
An automatic tailgate is available
as an option. The luggage
compartment has a total volume
of 540 litres (VDA), i.e., more than
enough space for up to four large
suitcases. The loadspace floor is
completely flat and the tailgate
sill is low. When the rear seats
are folded flat on vehicles with
sports seats (featuring comfort
memory package), the larger side
bolsters create a slope of approx.
15º relative to the loadspace floor.
Even when the car is fully laden
(see page 188), the self-levelling
air suspension (standard on
Cayenne Turbo; optional on other
models) maintains a constant
ground clearance at front and
rear.
The air suspension package
includes ride-height adjustment,
enabling the car to be lowered
by approximately 54 mm* below
the normal ride level for easier
loading of heavy items. When
moving off, the suspension
automatically reverts to the
standard ride-height setting
(Normal Level).
When the rear backrest is folded
forward, the loadspace expands
to as much as 1,770 litres**
(VDA). Items can be stored out
of view and protected from the
sun using a retractable cover in
a detachable storage cassette.
Two additional storage spaces
(one on vehicles with four-zone
air conditioning) are discreetly
concealed behind the side trim
panels in the luggage compart-
ment (volume may vary depending
on optional equipment).
Even when loaded to the
maximum weight, each Cayenne
model remains agile, responsive
and easy to control.
Transport

you’ll appreciate even more the
powerful capability of the Cayenne
range of engines.
For the largest of loads, you can
choose from two towing options:
an electrically retractable towbarsystem or a manually detachable
towbar. With the electric system,
the ball neck can be retracted
beneath the rear apron – all at
the push of a button. Both options
are available for all Cayenne
models, have a maximum braked
trailer load of 3,500 kg* (with a
maximum noseweight of 140 kg)
and come with a 13-pole socket.
All Cayenne models have a towbar
preparation as standard.
This exceptional capability is
enough for virtually every type
of load. Even another Porsche.
Towbar systems.
Whatever your passion, all four
Cayenne models offer a wealth
of possibilities that go beyond
the pleasure of driving. When fully
laden or with a heavy trailer load,
Roof transport systems.
Even when the luggage compartment
is completely full, the Cayenne has
space for more. Using the standard
roof rails, the car can be equipped
with an optional roof transport
system. It is compatible with all the
usual load-carrying attachments
available from Porsche Tequipment,
e.g., ski/snowboard carriers and
roof boxes. All load-bearing parts
are made from robust aluminium
and designed for a maximum loadof 100 kg. The optional roof
rails
can also be combined with
a set of transverse roof bars
from Porsche Tequipment, offering
a maximum load of 75 kg.
Transport
The Cayenne is built to carry many things.
Even another Porsche.
