In April 2023, Porsche introduced a mid-cycle refresh for the 2024 model year of the Cayenne. The Cayenne S has welcomed back a V8 engine, a feature it had been missing since the release of the third-generation Cayenne. This new addition is a potent 4.0ltr turbocharged petrol engine, generating 350 kW (469hp) and 600 Nm of torque. This marks a notable increase in output, with a gain of 25 kW (34 hp) and 50 N⋅m of torque compared to the previous Cayenne S model.
Among the notable updates are a revamped dashboard layout, reminiscent of the Taycan, featuring a fully digital 12.6-inch gauge cluster. Exterior enhancements include subtle restyling tweaks to the bonnet (hood), headlights, bumpers, fenders, and trunk. The powertrains received upgrades as well, with the base 3.0ltr V6 engine seeing a boost in power output. Now, it delivers an additional 10kW (13hp) and 50 Nm of torque, resulting in a total output of 260 kW and 500 Nm.
Matrix LED headlamps now come standard across the lineup, with HD Matrix LED units available as an option. The HD Matrix LED technology boasts two high-definition modules and over 32,000 pixels per headlamp, offering precise control over the high beam, allowing selective blocking of specific areas.
Chassis revisions for the refreshed model include updated dampers featuring two-valve technology for separate compression and rebound sections. According to Porsche, these enhancements provide a broader spectrum of performance, balancing ride comfort and handling capabilities more effectively.
Unveiled in August 2017, the third iteration of the Porsche Cayenne marked a significant milestone. Built on an entirely new platform shared with notable SUVs like the Bentley Bentayga and Lamborghini Urus.
The third generation Cayenne introduced crucial technological advancements. Among these enhancements was the integration of a rear-axle steering system, facilitating improved cornering speeds and simplified parking manoeuvres.
