• Completely redesigned cockpit: the display and control concept of the Taycan is for the first time transferred to a Porsche with a combustion engine.

Shanghai/Stuttgart. The new Porsche Cayenne will celebrate its world premiere on April 18 at the Auto Shanghai in China. As the one of the most extensive product upgrades in the history of Porsche, the new Cayenne aims to continuously bring the driving experience beyond the drivers’ expectations to the “large SUV sporty benchmark”. By introducing the innovative dis-play and control design, it now redefines the concept of driver-vehicle interaction. The Porsche Driver Experience appreciated on the Taycan is for the first time transferred to a Porsche with a combustion engine. Comprehensive upgrades include a fully digital instrument cluster in a curved design, a redesigned centre console, a latest-generation steering wheel, a newly-added passenger display, as well as the optimised connectivity, not only create an even more inten-sive driving experience, but also bring a more pleasant interaction to passengers.
To better satisfy the Chinese market's expectations for digital life, the Connect services of the new Cayenne are further expanded. For example, the new In-Car Video function is now availa-ble. Thanks to the adaption of Bilibili, occupants can search for and watch considerable Bilibili videos directly on the central display or the passenger display. And the new Cayenne owners will receive a 3-month Bilibili VIP voucher for free, which allows access to even more video contents and services.
The new cockpit: more elegant, much sportier, more driver-focused
The Porsche Cayenne is the sportiest car in its segment – and its interior reflects this as well. A sporty ambience is combined with dynamic functionality, luxurious comfort and typical Cay-enne design features. Porsche presents the new control concept in the new Cayenne in a clean design that emphasises width. The entire instrument panel, centre console and upper part of the inside of the door have been completely redesigned. The increased horizontal em-phasis of the dashboard makes the interior look even wider. The elegantly designed air vents are vertically aligned in typical Cayenne fashion. For the first time, Porsche has designed all the air outlets in the cockpit without louvres.
The instrument cluster is now a fully digital, free-standing, 12.6-inch curved display that does not require a hood cover, thus giving it a modern, slimline appearance. Depending on the equipment level, the driver can choose from up to seven views on the instrument cluster. The rev counter, online navigation, Night Vision Assist or 3D driving assistance system can all be selected to be in the foreground. A greatly reduced view and a classic mode are also available, the latter of which transfers the typical Porsche five-tube instrument cluster design into the digital age.
The new multifunction sports steering wheel originates from the 911 and has been completely reworked compared to the previous model, with a high-quality, modern and sporty design. The driving mode switch for selecting Normal, Offroad, Sport and Sport Plus modes directly on the steering wheel is now standard. The new toggle button for selecting functions and designs in the instrument cluster is also located directly on the steering wheel, as are the controls for the optional head-up display.
All the controls that are important to the driving experience are also grouped directly around the steering wheel. Typically for a Porsche, the new engine start button is to the left of the steering wheel. The gear selector is now to the right of the steering wheel between the instru-ment cluster and the central display. This makes room on the centre console for a new, large air conditioning control panel with analogue controls and more storage space. Porsche has also put the completely redesigned control lever for the driver assistance systems directly on the steering wheel in the new Cayenne. A key feature of the new Porsche Driver Experience is the right balance between digital and analogue elements.
The new air conditioning control panel on the centre console with its glass surface in a black panel design ensures a particularly high-quality look. Air conditioning settings can be made quickly and intuitively on the clearly laid out control surface. The combination of touch recogni-tion and haptic feedback with mechanical air conditioning switches as well as a physical vol-ume controller ensures functionality that is both haptically and aesthetically pleasing.
The high-resolution 12.3-inch central display is the control centre of Porsche Communication Management (PCM). As before, the driver can operate numerous driving and comfort functions here, as well as the standard online navigation and multimedia functions. A completely new feature in the Porsche Cayenne is the optionally integrated 10.9-inch passenger display. The additional touchscreen allows the front passenger to take the strain off the driver, for example by operating the navigation or selecting a media service. Special foil ensures that the display cannot be seen from the driver's seat. This means videos can be streamed on the passenger display without distracting the driver.
Also new are two USB-C ports in the front storage compartment and another two USB-C ports in the rear area of the centre console. All USB ports provide a fast charging function. A cooled smartphone storage area with an inductive charging function comes as standard. The cooling allows an optimised charging power of up to 15 watts.
Comprehensively expanded connectivity: more diversified, more convenient
As an exclusive offering for the new Cayenne customers, Porsche Connect will be offered 10 years free of charge, compared to previously 3 years, covering Voice Pilot, Finder and plenty of remote control functions, provides the worry-free everyday journey. In addition, for those streaming functions requiring subscription, for example Bilibili, Apple Music® and Radio Plus, the new Cayenne customers will receive 4 years free of charge with 6GB/month, enjoying a pleasant music and video experience.
The new In-Car Video function allows videos to be watched directly in the PCM, for which Bili-bili video function is specially adapted – both in the central display when the vehicle is station-ary and on the passenger display while driving.
Customers can pair a smartphone with the vehicle in multiple ways, by the USB-C ports in the front, and by scanning the QR code displayed in the PCM. Numerous connectivity functions are then available, including Apple CarPlay® as well as integrated apps. Moreover, the vehicle functions can also be operated by using the Siri voice assistant.
