Porsche Cayenne Overview
The original Porsche Cayenne dates as far back as the early 2000s, for when the carmaker took the purists community by storm as it introduced its first SUV in the market. The Cayenne was anything but a Porsche, it was big, heavy, tall, and simply an antithesis of what the communities expect from the manufacturer of the iconic sports car, the 911.
Originally conceived as an abomination by the purists, the Cayenne became an instant success in the markets. And if it was not for the Cayenne, the carmaker would not have existed today. In 2018, the Cayenne entered its third-generation with a lot of improvements under the skin. Let’s take a look.
Exterior
Sure, it was an ungainly SUV at first, but Porsche has worked over the years to make the Cayenne a handsome-looking car. However, in this generation, there are only a measly number of aesthetic updates to the exterior design. Sure, the ‘four-talon’ light signature on the PDLS Plus Matrix LED headlamps look great, but the wide air inlets and the lines pull a nostalgia in favour of its predecessor.
It’s the rear profile of the Porsche Cayenne new model that’s the biggest giveaway for the third-generation Cayenne. The slim new LED taillamps are seamlessly connected with a piano black finished LED light band, which is a nice touch indeed.
Variants
The Porsche Cayenne variants, namely, are Base, E-Hybrid, and Turbo. For the lowest price, Porsche Cayenne Base variant gets Porsche Traction Management (PTM), map-controlled multi-plate clutch, automatic brake differential (ABD) and anti-slip regulation (ASR), Tyre Pressure Monitoring System, 19-inch wheels, electric parking brake with Auto Hold function, Hill descent control, Anti-lock brake system (ABS), Full-size airbags for driver and passenger, Knee airbag for driver and passenger, Side airbags, and Multi-collision brake.
Moreover, it gets LED headlights, Daytime running lights with 4-point LED spotlights in each main headlight, LED tail lights, LED-Interior lighting concept, dual-zone climate control, Electrically adjustable and retractable heated exterior mirrors, Connect Plus including Online Navigation Module, Apple CarPlay, LTE telephone module with SIM card reader, wireless internet access and Porsche Car Connect including numerous Porsche Connect services, Hi-fi sound system with 10 speakers and a total output of 150 watts, keyless go, Cruise control with speed limiter, digital instrument cluster, and much more.
Interior
The quality and the equipment level of the Cayenne is nothing short of impressive. The Base trim – which demands the lowest of the Porsche Cayenne on-road price – is fitted with tons of equipment and materials that are commendable in quality.
The driver sits facing a massive instrument cluster, which houses an analogue dial for the rev counter flanked by two digital displays. The infotainment screen is fluid and has all the necessary connectivity options. The controls for the dual-zone HVAC system are placed right below the infotainment system, followed by the gear selector. The space inside is aplenty, for there’s lots of room for five full-size adults in the cabin.
Engine Specifications & Performance
The 2018 Cayenne comes powered with two engines. The Base trim is fitted with a 3.0-litre V6 engine, which is good for 335bhp and 450Nm of torque. It is mated to an 8-speed automatic gearbox as a standard fit. On the other hand, the Hybrid and Turbo derivatives of the Cayenne are powered by the same 4.0-litre V8 engine, which is tuned to churn out 456bhp in the Hybrid trim and a mind-numbing 524bhp in the Turbo trim. The torque output, at 770Nm, remains the same for both the abovesaid variants. It, too, comes mated to an 8-speed automatic gearbox.
