2017 Porsche Cayenne
These spy photos
showing Porsche testing the next-generation Cayenne. The prototype you see here
still wears a custom body that resembles the current model, but the roof line
is actually longer while the fitted roof spoiler is said to be active, helping
the new Cayenne on improving its stability at higher speeds.
The reports talk about Porsche wanting
to drop the weight of their big SUV as much as 200 kg from the
current model. This will be possible thanks to the adoption of the new modular
MLB platform which also underpins models like the Audi Q7, the Bentley Bentayga
and the future Lamborghini Urus and VW Touareg.
The intense diet will not only make the
new Cayenne more fuel efficient, but will improve the handling as well, an area
where Porsche is still considered the king of the segment. The interior for the
first time which features way fewer buttons and switches and a brand new
infotainment system with a wide high-resolution screen, just like in the new
Panamera.
Expect to see most -if not all- of the
new V6 and V8 petrol and diesel engines announced for the Panamera to be also
offered in the Cayenne, with Turbo models getting a twin-turbo 4.0-litre V8
with 542 hp and 770 Nm of torque. A plug-in hybrid powertrain
is also under development with some rumors even talking for an all-electric powertrain
too.
Porsche will reveal the new Cayenne
sometime in 2017 and with the competition being more intense than ever, it
better bring its a-game.
