The front wheel arches are
extremely well defined, while
the ‘power-domed’ 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 pronounced wheel arches –
f o r a t y p ic a l l y d i st i n c t i v e re a r v i e w.
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): another clear reference
to the Carrera GT, the centre
console 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
exclusive 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
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.

curtain-t 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 head-on
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 outer rear seats are equipped
with ISOFIX mounting points for
compatible child seats (p. 84) as
standard. These are available as
an option for the front passenger
seat.
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-
tion (POSIP). This comprises
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.
