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 interior package in Carmine Red
‘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
-
able
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.
