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.

Teleedle It would seem that if the Chinese made cars and trucks are ready to compete on the world market that they should be able to compete without the need for government help through subsidies. That's never going to happen with the mindset of their leadership. The rate at which they've transferred the ability to copy to the rate of their abilities to innovate isn't really astounding, but it is truly indicative of their inherent abilities to see through problems and overcome without a lot of fuss. They just have a different way that seems to continually baffle the Western mind. It only goes back a few thousand years. The rest of the world just has to catch up... Without tariffs, three Seagulls could be bought for the price of one loaded Toyota Corolla. I would settle for a nice small pickup truck that can get 30-35 mpg, if the Chinese want to build something with real durability and value. I'm sure they can do that for about $10-12k US, too, dumping them all the way to the bank. Neither Trump or Biden or Bugbrain want that, though. Restrictive 'targeted' tariff ideas indicate that they all want protectionism and the Chicken Tax to continue. The price of living in freedum in the non compete world... and the hallmark of one upmanship by the political class towards more and more expensive transportation related needs. All costs are ALWAYS passed onto the end consumer. Tariffs are the burden of the extra cost. Tariffs are punitive, remember... as intended. The political class is still living off the backs of their constituents throughout the world... same as it ever was.
Theflyersfan One day, some of these sellers will come to the realization that cars are not houses and putting expensive upgrades into one doesn't equal a higher selling price down the road. $29,000? The only Challenger that has a chance of value down the road, and only with low miles, is the Hellcat.
SaulTigh The Cyclone engine was really powerful, but with a fatal flaw. Ask me how I know.
Tassos You can answer your own question for yourself, Tim, if you ask instead"Have Japanese (or Korean) Automakers Eaten Everyone's Lunch"?I am sure you can answer it without my help.
Tassos WHile this IS a legitimate used car, unlike the vast majority of Tim's obsolete 30 and 40 year old pieces of junk, the price is ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. It is not even a Hellcat. WHat are you paying for? The low miles? I wish it had DOUBLE the miles, which would guarantee it was regularly driven AND well maintained these 10 years, and they were easy highway miles, not damaging stop-go city miles!!!
