A long awaited model has finally arrived. Precision Cars India, the official Porsche importer for India, unveils the second generation Porsche Cayenne at Porsche Centre Mumbai today. Speaking on the occasion, Deesch Papke, Managing Director of Porsche Middle East and Africa said, "The new Cayenne features a completely new exterior and newly defined luxury interior. Yet in today's world, it's clearly not enough to pour on more power; there must be a clear, simultaneous improvement in fuel consumption. We have optimized this objective to a maximum by reducing CO2 emissions of up to 26% and a reduction in fuel consumption of up to 23% less. This car clearly brings a new dimension to the SUV market."
As a premiere for the Porsche brand the Cayenne is offered as a hybrid version, the Cayenne S Hybrid. The car ensures fuel consumption of just 8.2 litres/100 kilometers with CO2 emissions of just 193 g/km. The Cayenne S Hybrid combines the performance of an eight-cylinder with the economy of a six-cylinder running on much less fuel.
All Cayenne vehicles offer more power on less fuel, greater efficiency and lower CO2 emissions. The fuel consumption is down by up to 23% compared to its predecessor.
The Cayenne S weighs180 kilos less than the earlier version and the lighter body weight did not prevent further improvements in product substance and an even higher standard of safety.
The wheelbase is now 40 mm longer. In all, the new Cayenne is 48 mm longer than its predecessor. The 
cockpit-like interior clearly derived from the Porsche Panamera, is now found in the new Cayenne with a centre console between the two front seats. For maximum comfort also in the back, the rear seat bench now moves fore-and-aft by 160 millimetres, with the backrest angle adjusting to three different settings.
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
Fuel efficiency is also up significantly on the Cayenne S with its 4.8-litre V8 power unit, in this case by 23 per cent to 10.5 litres/100 kilometres. At the same time the new engine delivers 400 bhp maximum output instead of the former 385 bhp.
The Cayenne Turbo, with its 500 bhp 4.8-litre V8 biturbo consumes just 11.5 ltr/100 km representing also a reduction in fuel consumption of 23 per cent.
The Cayenne S Hybrid focuses on maximum efficiency from the overall system. Depending on driving conditions, the vehicle operates with one drive unit by itself or with both drive units working together.
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. Despite all of this, efficiency has significantly improved making this model an outstanding trendsetter in its segment."
