The 2024 Porsche Cayenne series, including the Cayenne, Cayenne S, and Cayenne E-Hybrid models, introduces significant advancements in its suspension and powertrain, striking an impressive balance between ride comfort and performance. Standard across these models is the steel spring suspension paired with Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM). The incorporation of new shock absorbers with two-valve technology, enhancing both rebound and compression stages, elevates performance across various driving conditions. This technological leap results in improved comfort at lower speeds, enhanced handling during dynamic cornering, and better management of pitch and roll. The driving experience is further refined with the new optional adaptive air suspension featuring two-chamber, two-valve technology. This system not only improves suspension compliance and vehicle stability across different terrains but also sharpens the distinction between Normal, Sport, and Sport Plus driving modes, offering an enriched driving experience. Additionally, the Cayenne S models welcome back the V8 engine, promising a more robust and exhilarating performance.
The engine lineup for the new Cayenne is diverse and powerful. The Cayenne S debuts with a redefined twin-turbo four-litre V8 engine, replacing the previous V6, delivering 468 hp and 442 lb.-ft. of torque. This power boost allows the SUV and SUV Coupé to reach 100 km/h in just 5.0 seconds with the Sport Chrono Package, with a top track speed of 273 km/h. The standard Cayenne is equipped with an enhanced three-litre V6 single-turbo engine, offering increased power and torque. The Cayenne E-Hybrid combines this six-cylinder engine with a new, more powerful electric motor, achieving a combined output of 463 hp. The hybrid also features an upgraded high-voltage battery with greater capacity providing an exceptional 80 kilometres of range, and a new 11 kW onboard AC charger for faster charging. The new Cayenne Turbo E-Hybrid is the pinnacle of the 2024 Cayenne lineup, delivering an exceptional 729 horsepower.
