Cayenne 2022 Porsche Cayenne Facelift


The Porsche Cayenne is a series of automobiles manufactured by Porsche since 2002. It is a luxury crossover SUV, and has been described as both a full-sized and a mid-sized vehicle.
The tester praised the way the Cayenne drove, the handling, steering sharpness, ride all very impressive. The V8 engine and performance were also major highlights.

The biggest disappointment was the interior materials and build quality with creaking plastics on the center console, steering wheel and moving door grab handles. Use of piano black shiny plastic on the center console and the flimsy central climate panel were a big letdown. For a Porsche the interior looks a bit cheap in places.

Current Porsche interiors are a hit and miss in terms of materials, but it's surprising to hear about build/solidity issues.

PORSCHE CAYENNE: A THERMAL FUTURE?

The question is in the minds of all car enthusiasts, until when will we see the commercialisation of thermal cars? Porsche wants to make its models live as much as possible with this engine and the Cayenne does not seem excluded. First information, here is what we know.

PORSCHE SUV: WOULD THE THERMAL STILL HAVE BEAUTIFUL DAYS AHEAD OF IT?

With a future focussed on electric, Porsche seemed to be gradually equiping its models with this new engine. Following the release of the 100% electric Macan and the announcement of the electric Boxster, it was a safe bet that the Cayenne would take the same direction. However, the Stuttgart manufacturer does not hear it with this ear. It may be that the new generation Cayenne (whose release is not planned for several years), will be offered in an internal combustion engine version. Just like the 911, Porsche's best-selling SUV seems to have to live with a thermal engine for some time. Recall, the latest models in the range were presented in 2023 with the Cayenne S E-Hybrid as well as the Cayenne Turbo E-Hybrid. There is a good chance that future Porsche SUVs will increasingly adopt hybrid motorisation.

A COHABITATION BETWEEN DIFFERENT MOTORISATIONS FOR THE CAYENNE

The current generation of Porsche Cayenne has recently benefitted from a restyling, but our information indicates that there would be a new generation of Cayenne equipped with a thermal engine. Our spy photographer spotted one, present in these photos.

Although the camouflage is imposing on this prototype, we can clearly see the exhaust outlets as they exist on the current Cayenne S E-Hybrid. The stylistic codes are quite close to those of the range we know today, with the presence of new rims on this prototype. The bumper also differs and turns out to be quite coarse at the moment, probably to test the cooling of the possible new engine. We can see the vertical slats on each corner of the bumper for example.

It would therefore be the latest generation of Cayenne with a thermal engine. Our source says it would share the same platform as the future Audi Q7. The Porsche SUV would of course be sold in parallel with several versions, and would rub shoulders with the all-electric Cayenne when it is marketed at the end of 2026 or early 2027.

We have the first information about this Cayenne and will keep you informed as soon as we know more. Stay connected!
 
It’s low on torque though. 660NM compared to an SQ7/8 that have 770NM. Does not make sense…

I would have thought the same motor with the same hp would have similar torque figures. Yes Porsche does understate their motors power but this is slightly underwhelming.
