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.

Everything has changed. 
Apart from the concept.
Cayenne.
At Porsche, we are continually changing. 
Looking for a new and different approach. 
Without ever losing sight of where we’ve 
come from. That ’s how we remain true to 
ourselves.
The basic Cayenne concept is therefore 
the same. We’ve just continued to 
improve it: the Cayenne is now lighter –   
up to 165 kg
1) depending on the specifi -
cation – and also more dynamic, more 
comfortable, and closer to the road than 
ever before. Without detracting from the 
qualities required for off-road driving or 
towing heav y loads.
Its naturally aspirated 3.6-litre V6 engine 
features direct fuel injection (DFI, p. 40), 
variable valve timing on both inlet and 
  exhaust, and a variable resonance intake  manifold – for a generous output and 
  excellent fuel economy. In other words: 
we have enhanced the performance, 
while significantly lowering the weight, 
fuel consumption and CO
2 emissions. The 
figures speak for themselves: maximum 
torque of 400 Nm, 220 kW (300 hp),   
a top speed of 230 km/ h and the abilit y 
to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/ h in 
7.5 seconds. With both fuel consumption 
and CO
2 emissions reduced by 20  %.1)
Delivering this power to the road effi -
ciently, Porsche Traction Management 
(PTM, p. 47) combines active all-wheel 
drive with an electronically variable multi-  
plate clutch, automatic brake differential 
(ABD, p. 47) and anti-slip regulation (ASR, 
p. 47).   Together they enable the perfect 
distri   bution of drive torque to all four  wheels, whether on long straights, 
through tight corners or on surfaces with 
different 
 friction  coefficients  –  for  dynamic 
 handling 
and increased traction. Drive is 
trans   mitted through a high-performance
 
 
six-speed manual gearbox (p. 44), which 
ensures optimum progression through 
the gears.
In addition to the standard 18-inch 
  Cayenne wheels and larger brakes, the 
Cayenne can be fit ted with the optional 
Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake 
(PCCB, p. 66) – for even more outstand -
ing brake performance. 
Another key advantage: a total weight 
saving of approximately 50  % compared 
with equivalent cast-iron discs. The generous standard equipment 
  includes partial-leather seats, climate 
control, the CDR audio system with 
touchscreen, cruise control and auto
-
matic headlight activation. For added 
comfort, there’s also a ‘Welcome Home’ 
lighting function. When you arrive at a 
destination after dark, the headlights 
  remain illuminated for a user-defined 
  period, lighting your path from the car.
So, a unique blend of the great sports 
performance and unrestricted everyday 
practicalit y that is t ypical of Porsche. 
Let ’s be honest, would you have expected 
anything else?

2 emissions and efficiency class data, please refer to pages 150/151.1) Compared to previous model.

The car is ergonomically designed 
around the vehicle occupants for 
  optimum comfort. Frequently used 
  controls are grouped logically together 
on the centre console to enable you   
to select individual functions quickly   
and easily.
Other practical features include door 
storage compartments with bot tle 
  holders front and rear.
The rear seats provide manual fore/aft 
adjustment as well as backrest adjust -
ment and a 40/20/40 split-folding 
  facility, thereby increasing the storage 
capacit y from 580 to 1,780 litres 
  (depending on the model). All Cayenne models are fit ted with 
  electric windows, front and rear, with 
door-lock open/close facility as well 
 
as climate control and remote central 
locking.
The interior features a selection of qualit y 
materials available in a variety of combin -
ations, all of which reflect true Porsche 
heritage. The palet te of colours and fin -
ishes ranges from elegant to sport y, and 
includes a selection of fine woods, alumin-
ium and carbon – for a race-inspired look. 
If purist is your st yle, the Cayenne GTS 
offers extraordinary scope for   interior 
personalisation: in conjunction 
with the 
leather interior in Black, the 
 optional   
Leather interior in Platinum Grey with anthracite birch interior package (wood)

‘GTS’ logo in Carmine Red on head restraint 
GTS interior packages1) give you the 
opportunit y to add stunning highlights – 
either in Carmine Red or Peridot.   
They consist of elements such as the 
  embroidered ‘GTS’ logo on the head 
  restraints on the front and outer rear 
seats, front and rear seat belts and dec -
orative seams on the dashboard, upper 
door panels and armrests in contrasting 
colour. The athleticism of the   Cayenne 
GTS is further underlined by an Alcantara 
finish. Used extensively in motor racing, 
it offers particularly good grip.  These are just a few of the options avail

 to help you design the Cayenne 
  interior to suit your individual taste.

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.
