2019 Porsche Cayenne

Birmingham, Alabama - When the Porsche Cayenne was first launched eight years ago, Porsche was crucified by purists as a “sellout” for producing an SUV and straying from their niche of sports cars. Those who did the crucifying probably hadn’t had a chance to sit behind the wheel of this vehicle, nor did they have the business sense that Porsche had. The Cayenne has turned out to be the all-time best selling Porsche, with over 280,000 vehicles sold worldwide (5,831 in Canada) since its launch. That has rocketed Porsche into profitability, paving the way for future development. For 2011, the Porsche Cayenne is all-new. Porsche had a few well-defined goals for this new incarnation: improve fuel efficiency for the entire model range, create a platform with more space and better utility, and retain its best-in-class performance philosophy. The new Cayenne is available in four trims: base(V6), S (V8), S Hybrid, and Turbo.

The changes for 2011 start with styling updates that make the new Cayenne look more compact and sportier than the previous generation, despite having a 40 mm (1.6 in.) longer wheelbase and 50 mm (2 in.) increase in overall length. A more pronounced “V” shape in the front lends to visually larger front fenders which simulate the look of the 911, while the rear fenders give the Cayenne a wider and more attractive stance than the first generation. As part of Porsche’s effort to reduce fuel consumption they have reduced the weight of the Cayenne by 180 kg (396 lb.). Most of this reduction has come from the body itself (111 kg/244 lb.) and achieved mainly through the use of aluminum for the front fenders, hood, rear hatch and door panels. Standard features now include Bluetooth telephone connectivity and the universal audio interface to connect an external audio source such as an iPod or a USB stick with the Porsche Communication Management (PCM) system.

For example, the most popular radio station is directly next to the most important telephone numbers on the display, which are just one fingertip touch away from the stored business address in the navigation directory. The touchpad is ergonomically integrated in the centre console and offers a completely new way of quickly and intuitively accessing the infotainment system. Its touch-sensitive surface recognises handwriting and reacts immediately to finger movements, vibrating lightly to give noticeable haptic feedback and making operation of the new infotainment generation simple and without distracting the driver. To move the cursor, just one finger is needed, followed by slight pressure on the touchpad to open the selected menu option. With a two-finger swiping motion, the driver can for example change the audio source and a three-finger swipe over the touchpad surface opens the favourites list. The navigation system map has zoom functionality which can be controlled with a pinching motion just like on a smartphone. Even individual letters - for instance when searching for a song title in the database or a city in the navigation system - can be entered by fingertip on the touchpad.

When just the first letter is entered, a list of stored addresses appears in the navigation system. Synchronisation of the infotainment system and a smartphone is easy. Drivers only have to connect their phone to the infotainment system and many smartphone contents are displayed on the colour touchscreen in the centre console. These include not only telephone and song lists but also films that are saved on the smartphone on the Insignia’s 8-inch monitor (only when the car is stationary). Insignia drivers can control the newest generation infotainment system over newly designed, clearly laid-out steering wheel controls as well as voice commands in addition to via buttons, touchscreen and touchpad operation in the centre console. The advanced voice recognition function can be activated by the simple push of a button on the steering wheel controls. Then using voice control, the driver can enter addresses into the navigation system, play songs saved on the smartphone or make calls, all while the drivers’ hands stay safely on the steering wheel. The newly designed instrument panel with an up to 8-inch high-resolution colour display also contributes to the driver’s optimal information overview.
