A beautiful exterior combined with high-performance features and plenty of cargo space make the Porsche Cayenne an attractive, multi-functional performance vehicle.
A sleek, confident four-door beauty, the Porsche Cayenne is a skillful blend of looks, performance and safety, which makes it the ideal car for families as well as the driver who feels the need for speed from time to time.
Porsche Cayenne: Performance Features
Direct Fuel Injection (DFI) : With DFI, carefully regulated fuel streams are injected directly into the individual combustion chambers, increasing both the power output and fuel efficiency of the V6 engine.
Porsche Traction Management System (PTM): Like a high-tech guidance system, the PTM determines how to best distribute the engine’s torque output to each of the four-wheels to keep you moving.
Six-speed manual gearbox: With your hand on this shift lever, you have the power to handle just about anything on or off the road.
Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control: Road conditions do change suddenly, but the Dynamic Chassis Control works overtime to improve handling and safety, especially while turning.
Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM): PASM lets you select between normal suspension and “Sport Mode,” which promises a softer ride.
17-inch Cayenne Wheel: Designed for the demands of winter driving, these 10-spoke beauties keep you moving even when driving conditions become unfavorable.
Additional Features of the Porsche Cayenne
The Cayenne comes packed with enough standard options to ensure ultimate comfort and functionality:
Electrically operated and heated side mirrors Remote central locking Power liftgate Anti-theft system Cruise control Five 12-volt socket outlets Leather-trimmed 3-spoke multi-function steering wheel Illuminated vanity mirrors from driver and passenger AM/FM/CD
Optional Features of the Porsche Cayenne
Park Assist and Rearview Camera: Twelve sensors plus a rearview camera keep the Cayenne from bumping into objects in the front or back of the vehicle.
4-zone climate control: The driver and the person riding shotgun are kept comfortable by separate air-conditioning.
XM Satellite Radio: Available as a factory-installed option, XM Radio offers 170 channels of music, sports and news. A 90-day free trial subscription also is available.
Functional as Well as Attractive
With a cargo area that can support as many as four large suitcases, the Porsche Cayenne is an ideal vehicle for a family trip. Porsche also offers an optional Towing package with a manually-detachable trailer hitch and an optional Roof Transport System.
