2015 Porsche Cayenne

Porsche has introduced the facelifted version of its fast selling SUV, Cayenne, with a series of changes in the right places. On the outside, the new Cayenne comes with a larger grille and a redesigned bumper that gives it an even more aggressive stance. The increased number of blades in the air ducts will improve cooling. The new bonnet with the sharper lines gels well with the new grille. Bi-xenon headlights with four-point LED Daytime running lamps will be offered as standard in the Diesel, S and S- E-Hybrid variants but the Turbo Model gets LED Headlights with Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS). 

While changes in the design are subtle, the most important revisions are seen under the hood. The Cayenne S gets a new 3.6-litre bi-turbo V6 engine that pumps 420PS of power and 550Nm of torque. In sync with shift to turbo engines the new powerplant will replace the naturally-aspirated 4.8-litre V8 from the outgoing model. The facelifted Cayenne does the 0-100kmph dash in 5.5 seconds; 0.4 seconds quicker than the previous model and can record a top speed of 259kmph. 

The Cayenne S E-Hybrid will be powered by a 3.0-litre V6 supercharged engine that works together with an electric motor and produces a combined output of 416PS and 590Nm. The S E-Hybrid can hit the 100kmph marker in 5.9 seconds and has a top speed of 243kmph. On the electric motor though it has a range of 18-36km and can reach a top speed of 124kmph. 

Porsche claims that the chassis has also been revised to offer enhanced comfort but the change has had no effect on its driving dynamics. On the inside, the new Cayenne gets a multi-function steering wheel with paddle shifters and an improved Auto start-stop Plus system. 

The 2015 Porsche Cayenne is scheduled to come to India in 2015 and is likely to be marginally more expensive than the current model.
