Matrix LED main headlights are standard in the new Cayenne. The optional HD matrix LED headlights are new to the range. Its innovative technology, with two high-resolution modules and more than 32,000 pixels per headlight, ensures that other road users are masked out quickly, precisely and with pixel precision, and thus for glare-free high beams. Depending on the driving situation, the brightness of the modules can be regulated in more than 1,000 levels. Tailored light modes increase safety and comfort in different driving situations.
The new Cayenne is making its debut in Europe with three different engines. An extensive further development of the four-liter V8 biturbo engine developed by Porsche replaces the previously used V6 unit in the new Cayenne S. With a maximum output of 349 KW / 474 hp and a torque of 600 Nm – an increase of 25 kW / 34 hp and 50 Nm compared to the predecessor – the SUV and SUV coupe accelerate to 100 km/h in 4.7 seconds. The top speed is 273 km/h. An optimized three-liter V6 turbo engine accompanies the entry into the world of the Cayenne. It now delivers 260 kW / 353 hp and 500 Nm, i.e. 10 kW / 13 hp and 50 Nm more than before.
In addition, the six-cylinder engine forms the basis for the powertrain of the Cayenne E-Hybrid. In combination with a new electric motor that has been boosted by 30 kW to 130 kW / 176 hp, its system output increases to 346 kW / 470 hp. Equipped with a high-voltage battery with an increased capacity from 17.9 kWh to 25.9 kWh compared to the predecessor, purely electric ranges of up to 90 kilometers according to WLTP are now possible, depending on the equipment. A new 11 kW onboard charger now reduces the charging time to less than two and a half hours using an appropriate power source, despite the larger capacity of the battery. While driving, the optimized E-Hybrid driving modes increase the efficiency of the vehicle.
