The front wheel arches are
extremely well defined, while
the ‘powerdomed’ engine lid
further underlines the sheer
power and resolution within –
this is particularly dominant
on the Cayenne Turbo. Other
distinguishing features include
the visibly drawn in flanks. The sharper profile exudes
eagerness and determination,
which is further emphasised by
the dynamic rear roof pillars
and flowing coupé
like silhouet te.
The rear wheel arches are t ypical
of a sportscar, streamlined and
muscular, while the contoured
roof spoiler pays homage to the
Carrera GT. Further proof of how
harmoniously our performance
concept has been integrated into
our design philosophy – across
the entire model range. The tapered rear screen and
streamlined rear section underline
the flared wheel arches – for a
t ypically distinctive rear view.
The exterior is unmistakably
Porsche. The inside too. But not in
the way you are used to perhaps.
The desire to achieve greater
agilit y, flexibilit y and everyday
practicalit y has led to a complete
revision of the interior (p. 78
onwards): clearly inspired by the
Carrera GT, the centre console
now rises to meet the dashboard
– for an even more involving
drive.
The rear cabin area is larger and
more variable than before. It
features split folding seats with
fore/aft adjustment and adjust
able backrest angle – for extra
legroom and greater comfort.
In addition, a wide range of
new materials has been used.
Practically every thing has been
changed. But one thing remains
the same: the focus on you and
your passengers.
The contours of the front section
draw the eye, reflecting the car’s
excellent dynamics at first glance.
The elongated engine lid is clearly
reminiscent of Porsche racecars
from the 1960s.
When you look at someone’s face,
you see much more than their
external features. We are proud to
say, it ’s the same with the new
Cayenne models. In fact, what you
see is more sports performance
than ever before.
Children can give you a great deal of joy.
Even more so when they’ve inherited your finest characteristics.

curtaint ype airbags on each
side of the roof offering opti
mum head protection for both
rows of seats and side impact
protection elements in each
door. Side airbags at the rear
are also available as an option.
Two impact sensors are located
at the front of the car to enable
bet ter detection of a headon
collision. The driver and front
passenger airbags use a gas
generant based on an organic
propellant. As a result, the air
bags 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.
Seat belt system.
The Cayenne models feature
three point seat belts on all
five seats, as well as seat belt
pre tensioners (front and outer
rear seats) and force limiters
(front seats only).
ISOFIX mounting points.
The front passenger seat and
outer rear seats are equipped
with ISOFIX mounting points for
compatible child seats (p. 84)
as standard. If a child seat is
mounted on the front passenger
seat, the corresponding airbag
can be quickly deactivated using
a key operated switch.
Airbags.
All Cayenne models are equipped
with full size front airbags for
driver and front passenger as
standard. These are augmented
by Porsche Side Impact Protec

a side airbag in each front seat,
Bodyshell construction.
Our ongoing development of
the light weight steel body is a
decisive factor in the enhanced
passive safet y and unparalleled
rigidit y of the Cayenne body.
In the event of an accident, a
system of side and cross
members at the front of the car
helps to channel impact energy
in a safe and predetermined
manner. The interior is protected
by hot formed super high strength
steel reinforcements, including
side intrusion beams in each of
the doors.
High strength and consistent
