The new 2015 Porsche Cayenne will launch on the Canadian market this fall in four trim levels: Cayenne Diesel, Cayenne S, Cayenne Turbo, and Cayenne S E-Hybrid — the first plug-in hybrid in the premium SUV segment.
Consequently, Porsche becomes the only automaker in the world to offer three plug-in hybrid models (the Panamera S E-Hybrid and 918 Spyder are the other two).
The design of the front body, the front fenders and the hood is all new. Meanwhile, the bi-xenon headlights standard in Diesel and S models feature "hovering" 4-point LED daytime running lights. The Cayenne Turbo offers standard LED headlights with the Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS).
Inside the 2015 Porsche Cayenne is an impressive list of standard features including a new multifunction sport steering wheel with paddle shifters whose look and functions are based on the steering wheel of the 918 Spyder. Rear passengers will enjoy even more comfort than before, and rear-seat ventilation can be ordered as an option for the first time.
Available powertrains include:
