With over 50 years in motorsport, we appreciate the importance of safety.
Airbags.
All Cayenne models are equipped
with full-size front airbags for driver
and front passenger as standard.
These are augmented by a side-
impact protection system featuring
a thorax airbag in each front seat.
Curtain-type airbags on each side
of the roof provide extensive head
protection for both rows of seats.
When these are deployed, they
form a protective cushion along
the side of the car with a total
volume of around 20 litres.
Two additional impact sensors
are located at the front of the car
to enable better detection of
a head-on collision. As a result,
the front airbags can be more
accurately deployed in response
to the specific characteristics
of what can often be a complex
impact scenario.
The driver and front passenger
airbags use a gas generant based
on an organic propellant. As aresult, the airbags are lighter,
more compact and easier to
recycle. A roll-over detection
system provides additional
protection in the event that the
car were to overturn. Using
sensor-acquired data, it enables
early deployment of the curtain
airbags and triggers the seat-belt
pre-tensioners.
Interior safety features.
The Cayenne models feature
three-point seat belts on all five
seats, as well as seat-belt pre-
tensioners (front and outer rearseats) and force limiters (front
seats only). The front passengerseat and outer rear seats are also
equipped with ISOFIX mounting
points for compatible child seats.
If a child seat is mounted on the
front passenger seat, the
corresponding airbag can
be quickly deactivated using
a key-operated switch.

Rear seats.
Comfort and safety are fundamen-
tal requirements in every Porsche.
All seats in the Cayenne models
have detachable head restraints.
On the outer rear seats, the head
restraints are height-adjustable.
The sports seat package has a
three-seater rear bench with
sports-style two-seater design.
Special features include higher
side bolsters and detachable
head restraints.
For added protection, we’ve
used energy-absorbent elements
on the seats, doors, roof pillars,
roof and upper seat-belt deflection
points.
The rear seats are designed with
practicality in mind, including
a 60/40 split-folding facility.Additional features include a
no-cost optional load-through

Child seats.
Safety and comfort are also
assured for the youngest of
