Porsche’s all-new Cayenne Turbo has been priced at
Rs. 1.92 crore (ex-showroom, pan India) and its bookings have now commenced
before reaching dealerships next month.
With the Cayenne and Cayenne E-Hybrid confirmed to
arrive at showrooms later this year, the Cayenne Turbo is the first addition to
the updated range and it features a more powerful engine compared to the
outgoing model. The new Cayenne Turbo uses the brand’s 4.0-litre V8 biturbo
engine producing 550 horsepower and 770 Nm of peak torque sent to all four
wheels through a new eight-speed Tiptronic S transmission.
It develops 30 hp an 20 Nm more than its
predecessor. They aid the sporty luxury SUV to achieve zero to 100 km/h in just
4.1 seconds (four tenths quicker than outgoing model) or just 3.9 seconds when
fitted with optional Sport Chrono pack in international markets. It has a top
speed rated at 286 km/h.
The equipment list comprises of LED headlamps with
matrix beam Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS), 1,455 W Burmester 3D surround
sound system with 21 speakers, Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC),12-inch
Porsche Communication Management (PCM) touchscreen infotainment system,
electric rear axle steering and Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM).
The third generation Porsche Cayenne Turbo measures
4,918 mm long, 1,983 mm wide and stands 1,696 mm tall. It has a wheelbase of
2,895 mm and 770 litres of bootspace that can be expanded by up to 1,710
litres. It is also 65 kilograms lighter than the outgoing range-topping model.
The evolutionary design language gains new LED headlamps and bigger air
intakes. Porsche says it has lowered roofline for better athletic stance and it
is accompanied by a set of new alloy wheels and revised tail lamps.
The interior has seen many changes including
three-spoke multi-functional steering wheel, an updated 12.3-inch touchscreen
infotainment system with internet connectivity, new centre console with
analogue and digital controls, new instrument cluster with analogue tachometer
and two seven-inch displays among others.
