2017 Porsche Cayenne (Update)
Following the introduction of the new
entry-level Macan with a turbo'd four-banger, Porsche has announced some
updates for its largest SUV too, the Cayenne.
The new-generation of the
brand's PCM (Porsche Communication Management) infotainment system has arrived
on the Cayenne and it's offered at no extra cost, working together with a
high-res 7-inch touchscreen.
Porsche claims the redesigned user
interface is "smartphone-like" and "enables operation that is
intuitive". The relevant menu contents, which can be controlled by the
driver using multi-touch gestures, are shown when the proximity sensor detects
a user input.
Bluetooth, USB and SD card interfaces
are available and so is the Apple CarPlay connectivity. There is also a new
navigation model, offered as standard, which promises high-res map display and
3D representations in some regions; this can be started using voice control.
Coming at an extra cost is the Connect
Plus module, which improves dynamic orientation with real-time traffic info.
Google Street View, Google Earth, new Porsche Connect App, Wi-Fi hotspot and
the familiar Car Connect App are found on the 2017 Cayenne too.
