Compression with precision.
Essential for getting right to the point.
Direct fuel injection (DFI).
DFI injects fuel directly into the combus -
tion chamber at up to 120 bar with milli -
second precision using electromagnetic 
injectors. The injector position and spray 
geometry have been carefully designed 
to improve output, torque, fuel economy 
and emissions. The swirling of the fuel as 
it enters each chamber increases the 
mixing of air and fuel, thereby enhancing 
combustion. By forming the air/fuel mix -
ture directly in the combustion chamber, 
DFI contributes to engine cooling. As a 
result, it was possible to increase the 
compression ratio and therefore power 
and efficiency.
Direct fuel injection on the diesel 
  engine (common-rail injection system).
On the Cayenne Diesel, direct fuel injec -
tion comes courtesy of a common-rail 
  injection system. The injection pressure 
is now up to 2,000 bar, ensuring optimum 
distribution of the air/fuel mixture – for 
greater performance. The piezoelectric 
injectors provide flexible injection rate 
adjustment, using exactly metered 
  quantities of fuel, with multiple injections 
for each power stroke to deliver smooth 
combustion.
Cooling systems.
A high-performance engine can only 
maintain its maximum capability over 
a long service life if all components are 
operating consistently within a specific 
temperature range. The engines in the 
Cayenne models are therefore designed 
for efficient cooling.
In order to reduce the frictional losses 
that occur during warm-up, all Cayenne 
models feature comprehensive thermal 
management. Using intelligent control,   
it activates the different cooling circuits 
individually and on demand, thereby 
  ensuring that the optimum operating 
  temperature for the engine and trans -
mission is reached more quickly. This 
minimises friction – and keeps fuel 
  consumption and CO
2 emissions low.
The V8 engines have an enhanced coolant 
management system offering   effective 
temperature control throughout the engine. 
While 20  % of coolant flows longitudinally 
through the crankcase, the remaining 80  % 
serves the cylinder heads using the proven 
cross-flow principle (from hot to cold).
On all Cayenne models, the piston heads 
are cooled using oil-spray jets integrated 
within the main lubrication system.
The entire cooling system is designed for 
prolonged heav y-dut y use, e.g. off-road 
driving or heav y towing and carrying 
 applications.
Lubrication.
The V8 engines use dry-sump lubrication 
to ensure a consistent supply of oil in  
all load conditions, especially in off-road 
terrain. The oil reservoir is located inside 
the engine. This saves on space and 
 reduces  weight. 
Oil is circulated around the V8 engines 
using a demand-driven pump. This has 
been designed for the toughest driving 
scenarios on and off road, including per -
formance driving and extreme gradients.
The V6 engines have a wet-sump lubrica -
tion system. Ensuring a reliable supply of 
oil, whatever the driving conditions.
For fuel consumption, CO
2 emissions and efficiency class data, please refer to pages 150/151.

Loadspace management system.
This facilit y enables you to partition the 
luggage compartment and secure 
indi-
vidual objects during transit using a rail 
system with sliding telescopic bar, a 
 
fixing belt and four variable lashing eyelets. 
A reversible mat protects 
against dir t 
while securing luggage under braking, etc. 
The package also includes a loadspace 
partition net which provides additional 
safet y when the car is fully laden. The 
partition at taches to one of t wo easily 
accessible points on the rooflining.
Optional for all Cayenne models.
Towbar systems. 
For the largest of loads, you can choose 
from t wo towing options: an electrically 
deployable towbar system or a manually 
detachable towbar. With the electric 
  system, the ball neck is retracted at the 
push of a but ton and concealed beneath 
the rear apron. Both options have a   
13-pin socket and offer a maximum 
braked trailer load of 3,500 kg (2,700 kg 
on the Cayenne with manual gearbox)   
or an un    braked load of 750 kg, with a 
maximum noseweight of 140 kg. Both 
systems are also available for future 
installation. All models have a towbar 
preparation as standard.
Optional for all Cayenne models.
