Six-speed manual gearbox.
The six-speed manual gearbox on the 
Cayenne has been specifically adapted 
for the demands of high-performance 
use. The gear lever throw is short and 
precise, and each of the six ratios has 
been selected for optimum progression 
through the gears. As the centre console 
rises to meet the dashboard, the gear 
lever is close to hand – for an even more 
engaging drive.
The standard upshift display in the 
  instrument cluster helps to reduce fuel 
consumption further still. Eight-speed Tiptronic S is also available 
as an option on the Cayenne in conjunc
-
tion with the auto start/stop function.
Standard on the Cayenne.
Eight-speed Tiptronic S.
The outstanding feature of the eight-
speed Tiptronic S is a particularly wide 
ratio spread. 1st gear is designed for 
optimum acceleration when pulling away 
and greater performance when tackling 
ascents and towing loads in off-road 
  terrain. Top speed is reached in 6th gear 
(in 7th gear on the Cayenne Diesel). The 
remaining upper gears are used to lower 
the revs at high speed, thereby enhanc -
ing fuel economy and occupant comfort.  On the motorway in particular, driving 
 
at low revs will significantly reduce the 
noise level inside the vehicle. 
In automatic mode, the driver can influ -
ence gearshifts on the Tiptronic S using 
the throt tle and brakes alone. Tiptronic S 
automatically adapts the gearshift points 
for performance driving – equally, if a 
more defensive driving st yle is detected, 
the system selects a gearshift point that 
offers maximum fuel economy. Under 
heav y braking, Tiptronic S shifts down to 
maximise engine braking.
An electric pump is used to maintain the 
required pressure of the transmission fluid, 
e.g. to transmit high levels of torque
 at 
lower engine speeds.  The standard sports steering wheel in 
conjunction with Tiptronic S has two 
  ergonomic switches for manual gear 
changes. One press forward with the 
thumb and Tiptronic S shifts up. One 
 
pull backwards with the index finger and 
Tiptronic S shifts down. Either the right 
or left-hand switch can be used. The 
  result: an even more dynamic response 
when changing gear.
Standard on the Cayenne Diesel, 
  Cayenne S, Cayenne S Hybrid, 
 
Cayenne GTS and Cayenne Turbo. 
Optional for the Cayenne.
