Children can give you a great deal of joy.
Even more so when they’ve inherited your finest characteristics.
Design.
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.
The contours of the front section draw
the eye, reflecting the car’s excellent
dynamics at first glance. The elongated
bonnet is clearly reminiscent of Porsche
racecars from the 1960s. The front wheel
arches are extremely well defined, while
the ‘power-domed’ bonnet further under -
lines the sheer power and resolution
within – this is particularly dominant on
the Cayenne Turbo. Other distinguishing
features include the visibly drawn-in
flanks.
The profile is sharper and exudes
eagerness and determination.
The muscular rear wheel arches are typical
of a sports car, 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 – for a typically distinctive
rear v iew.
The exterior is unmistakably Porsche.
The inside too. But not in the way you are
used to perhaps. The desire to achieve
greater agility, flexibility and everyday
practicalit y has led to an interior that
is both sport y and comfortable (p. 78
on wards): another clear reference to the
Carrera GT, the centre console rises to meet the dashboard – for an even more
dynamic drive.
The rear cabin area is larger and more
variable than before. It features split-
folding seats with fore/aft adjustment
and adjustable backrest angle – for extra
legroom and greater comfort. In add ition,
a wide range of exclusive materials has
been used. Practically everything has
been changed, but one thing remains the
same: the focus on you and your
passengers.

Placing great weight on safety.
While taking things lightly.
Passive safety.
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
Protection (POSIP).
This comprises a side airbag in each
front seat, curtain-t ype airbags on each
side of the roof offering optimum 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 detec -
tion of a head- on collision. The driver and front passenger airbags use a gas
generant based on an organic propellant.
As a result, 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 deploy-
ment 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. 87) as standard. These
are available as an option for the front
passenger 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.
Passive safety: bodyshell
Passive safet y: airbags
High strength and consistent deformation
properties: t wo key safet y requirements
fulfilled by the multiphase steel used
throughout the body. Thanks to a safet y
cage structure made from high-tech
steels, the highly resilient passenger cell
offers high levels of protection.

The best seats in the house.
For everyone.
Rear seats.
The rear bench offers generous space
for up to three adult passengers and
is st yled to match the front comfort or
sports seats. For added practicality,
the bench features fore/aft adjustment
of 160 mm and a 40/20/40 split-folding
facilit y. The flexible centre section folds
down to create a load-through facilit y
for longer items such as the optional ski
bag. It also features a folding armrest.
The process is quite simple: unlock and
fold down. The rear seat backrest can be
adjusted by up to 6 degrees: 3 degrees
forward of the starting position and
3 degrees back. When it comes to being
user-friendly, the Cayenne models get
right to the point – quick and easy.
Child seats.
With their unique design, Porsche child
seats comply with high safet y standards.
Available from Porsche Tequipment, they
have been specially tested and approved
for use in Porsche vehicles, offering
comfort and safet y for all passengers
up to 12 years of age (or 36 kg in weight,
respectively). All fabrics are breathable,
kind to the skin and easy to clean. The
covers can be removed and are washable.
All of the Cayenne models have standard
ISOFIX mounting points on the outer rear
seats. These are available as an option
for the front passenger seat. If a child
seat is mounted on the front passenger
seat, the corresponding airbag can be quickly deactivated using a key-operated
switch. All Porsche child seats can be
easily installed via the ISOFIX slot-in
connectors. Alternatively, they can be
secured using the three-point seat belts.
For added safet y, the Porsche Baby Seat
and Porsche Junior Seat ISOFIX come with
their own five-point harness with central
adjustment of the seat-belt length.

As a child, you went out whatever the weather.
Nothing has changed.
Climate control.
All Cayenne models are equipped with
climate control as standard. This system
provides independent control of the
temperature and air flow volume for
driver and front passenger as well as an
automatic air recirculation function with
an air qualit y and humidit y sensor. Other
features include an active carbon filter,
which excludes dust, pollen and external
odours.
Four-zone climate control.
Four-zone climate control provides
independent air conditioning for the
rear cabin area, with separate tempera -
ture controls for left and right. The
rear climate control settings can also
be adjusted from the front seats.
Optional for the Cayenne, Cayenne
Diesel, Cayenne S, Cayenne GTS and
the Cayenne Turbo.
Comfort lighting package.
Available as an option for all Cayenne
models, this package includes dimmable
ambient lighting in the door panels and
roof console, practical LED reading
lights for the rear passengers, additional
courtesy lights on the exterior mirrors
on the driver’s and front passenger’s
side, and a second 12-volt socket in the
rear centre console.
Optional for all Cayenne models.
Privacy glass.
Available as an option, dark-tinted glass
provides privacy for the rear seat and
luggage area.
Optional for all Cayenne models.
Heated windscreen.
Ultrafine heating filaments ensure that
the windscreen does not fog up and that
any ice quickly melts away.
Optional for all Cayenne models.
Heat and noise-insulating glass.
All Cayenne models are equipped as
standard with heat-insulating tinted glass
featuring a grey top tint on the windscreen.
As an optional alternative, heat and noise-
insulating laminated
glass offers addition-
al protection against infrared radiation.
Enjoy peace and quiet, and an even more
pleasant climate, in the passenger com
-
partment.
The heat and noise-insulating glass option
also includes privacy glass at the rear.
Optional for all Cayenne models.
