2024 porsche cayenne updates more power and more screens

We could debate whether the Cayenne saved Porsche until the cows come home, but there’s no denying the SUV’s appeal and popularity in the automaker’s lineup. The SUV’s getting a refresh for 2024, but it’s not the mild facelift we often see in the industry. Porsche’s giving the Cayenne better powertrains, a revised interior with more screens, and upgraded suspension.

Porsche offers the 2024 Cayenne with three powertrains, starting with the entry-level turbocharged 3.0-liter V6, which makes 348 horsepower and 368 pound-feet of torque. The mid-range Cayenne S now gets a twin-turbo V8 with 468 horsepower and 442 pound-feet of torque, giving it a 4.4-second 0-60 mph time. The Turbo GT gets the twin-turbo V8 with power cranked up to 650 horsepower.

The Cayenne E-Hybrid is sticking around in 2024, and its new electric motor makes 174 horsepower, increasing output to 463. Range estimates for the plug-in Cayenne are on the way, but the battery capacity has been increased from 17.9 to 25.9 kWh. The Cayenne, Cayenne S, and E-Hybrid now come standard with Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), which features new shock absorbers. The system can be paired with optional adaptive air suspension, which responds to drive mode selection for better handling and performance.

Though the SUV looks roughly the same as before, Porsche said it touched nearly every exterior body panel, giving the Cayenne new fenders, an updated hood, and reshaped headlights. Three new colors are available, and buyers can add a Lightweight Sport Package that shaves 72 pounds from the hulking family hauler.

Changes to the cabin are impactful and include a shift from analog gauges to a completely digital experience. The SUV gets a 12.6-inch digital gauge cluster and a 12.3-inch center touchscreen. Porsche offers a 10.9-inch passenger display for the first time, which can stream video and other content. A special light filter ensures the driver isn’t distracted by the display.

Porsche installs more safety equipment as standard, including speed limit assist. The optional adaptive cruise control system now offers an evasive driving function and a turn assist function that can help avoid collisions in an intersection.

Arthur Dailey The saying is 'you get the union that you deserve'. When workers regard their senior executives as incompetent, when managers and executives receive bonuses regardless of their performance or lack thereof, they will naturally be resentful.When management views workers as 'the problem' then naturally workers will push back.Many Southern politicians are vehemently anti-union and make their feelings widely known. This does have some influence on their constituents. Migration to the US south is often due to lower living costs, some of which is due to weather. No or milder winters result in lower living costs. Smaller heating bills, less need for winter apparel, no need for winter tires, longer growing seasons creating less expensive/easier access to some foods. And most people tend to prefer milder weather. There is also a strong anti (big) government tradition among elements of those whose families stretch back to the South for decades. Perhaps due to Reconstruction? After all isn't NASCAR based on attempting to avoid paying taxes? This may erode as more people move from to the South, either from internal or external immigration.
MaintenanceCosts This is how you do it.
SCE to AUX Never heard of Buc-ee's, especially here in the Pittsburgh area."As Electrek noted, 68 percent of Texans live in those regions." I get it, but putting chargers where the other 32% live may be more important.I wonder if they'll be installing CCS or NACS (Tesla) connectors, or both.
Ajla Welp, that's it then. EVs are going to take over after all.
Ash78 Brilliant...even including truck stops, I've never (anecdotally) seen people spend more time at a gas stop than my two trips ever to Bucc-ee's, which were 30-45 minutes each time. If EVs had been our norm from the beginning, instead of ICE vehicles, I suspect Bucc-ee's would be a "normal gas station" everywhere today.Still no cure for being in a hurry, but at least they've matched up a typical visit with a typical DC fast charge. That should be a winner.
