Porsche India has introduced the third-generation Cayenne facelift and Cayenne Coupe facelift at a starting price of Rs 1.36 crore and Rs 1.42 crore (ex-showroom), respectively. While the delivery for both models will commence from July 2023, only the base versions are currently available, with the E-Hybrid models would follow soon.
The new Cayenne boasts a refreshed front
fascia with redesigned bonnet and matrix LED headlights, along with an updated
rear with a modified light bar and bumper-mounted number plate housing.
However, the most significant change is in the interior, which now features a
curved, triple-screen dashboard layout similar to the Taycan, with a 12.6-inch
digital instrument cluster, 12.3-inch centre touchscreen, and an optional
10.9-inch touchscreen for the passenger.
The base models of the Cayenne and Cayenne
Coupe are powered by a twin-turbocharged V6 petrol engine, delivering 353 hp and
500 Nm of torque, mated to an 8-speed automatic gearbox. Meanwhile, the E-Hybrid
models will have the same V6 engine but paired with an e-motor producing a
combined output of 470 hp and an electric-only range of up to 90 km.
Unfortunately, the high-performance
Cayenne Turbo GT won't be sold in India, Europe, Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and
Singapore. It produces 659 hp and can accelerate from 0-100 kM/h in 3.3 seconds
with a top speed of 305 km/h. Overall, the Cayenne facelift and Cayenne Coupe
facelift offer an updated design and an interior that resembles the Taycan,
making them desirable additions to the luxury SUV market in India.
