New Porsche Cayenne arrives in Mumbai

Based on the manufacturer’s principle of “Porsche Intelligent Performance”,all Cayenne vehicles offer more power on less fuel,greater efficiency and lower CO2 emissions. Compared with the former generation,fuel consumption is down by up to 23 per cent making the new models to trendsetters in their respective segments.

These objectives result from the introduction of the new Tiptronic S eight-speed automatic transmission with Auto-Start-Stop and a wide spread of gear ratios,thermal management on the engine and transmission cooling circuit,on-board network recuperation,variable engine cut-off and intelligent lightweight construction.

Thanks to its special combination of materials for optimum weight as well as changes in the overall concept of the vehicle such as the Cayenne’s new active and extra light all-wheel drive,weight is down considerably,for example on the Cayenne S by 180 kilos. The lighter body weight did not prevent further improvements in product substance and an even higher standard of safety.

Benefiting from these features and new technologies,the new Cayenne offers even more driving pleasure both on-road and off-road,combined with even greater everyday driving qualities as well as enhanced comfort. The completely new,sporty yet elegant design of the new model integrates the 2010 Cayenne even more closely into the overall range of Porsche cars.

The range starts with the 3.6-litre V6 Cayenne with an increased engine power to 300 bhp. With its eight-speed Tiptronic S transmission fuel consumption is down from the former model by no less than 20 per cent to 9.9 ltr/100 km

The Cayenne Diesel with its 240 bhp three-litre V6 likewise reduces fuel consumption by 20 per cent,down from 9.3 to 7.4 ltr/100 km.

“This car clearly brings a new dimension to the SUV market”,said Deesch Papke,Managing Director of Porsche Middle East and Africa.

Ashish Chordia,Director,Porsche India,emphasized on the new features that meet the customer’s demand in the local market. “We are extremely proud to launch the new Cayenne. This model represents the perfect balance between elegant design,powerful driving dynamics and a high level of comfort.”
