Immaculate sports pedigree and a determination to raise the bar further. The desire never to stand
still coupled with the urge to constantly improve. This is hallmark Porsche. Even if that involves venturing off in unusual directions. At Porsche, we’re used to exploring new territory. Only this time with a different fuel. But with the same enduring spirit. In the past, none of the Porsche models came with a diesel engine. Until now that is. We’ve listened to what our customers have been telling us. And produced the new Porsche Cayenne. Built for drivers convinced of the virtues of diesel technology. And of Porsche, too.
Its 3.0-litre V6 turbo-diesel engine is powerful, refined and efficient. The figures speak for themselves: the smooth-running unit develops 176 kW (240 hp) and 550 Nm of torque. The new Porsche Cayenne Diesel accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 8.3 seconds. The impressive torque covers a wide engine speed range, with maximum torque available from as low as 2,000 rpm. Top speed is 214 km/h (133 mph). Fuel consumption in the ECE driving cycle comes in at 9.3 litres of diesel per 100 km (30.4 mpg). Remarkableefficiency and economy by any standard. Not only if you take the new Porsche Cayenne Diesel on a long motorway journey, but also if you are towing or faced with the everyday rigours of driving around town.

Direct fuel injection comes courtesy of a common-rail injection system. Injection pressure of up to 1,800 bar ensures effective mixture formation coupled with superior performance. The piezoelectric injection valves provide flexible injection rate adjustment, using exactly metered quantities of fuel, with multiple injections for each power stroke to deliver smooth combustion. The turbocharger on the new Porsche Cayenne Diesel features variable turbine geometry (VTG) a technology pioneered in the petrol-engined 911Turbo. The incoming exhaust gases drive a set of electronically variable turbine blades whose angle is continuously adjusted to ensure optimum performance under all engine loads. The result is far greater power and torque, even at low revs.
The new Porsche Cayenne combines Porsche and diesel to deliver high efficiency and low fuel consumption. The cooled exhaust-gas recirculation on the 3.0-litre V6 turbo-diesel routes back part of the exhaust gas into the combustion process, resulting in lower peak combustion temperature and lower nitrogen oxide emissions. An oxidisation catalyst along with a diesel particle filter also forms an integral part of the process. And, of course, the new Porsche Cayenne Diesel meets the EU4 emissions standard, not to mention your expectations of a Porsche.

The standard Tiptronic S converts the high torque of the new Porsche Cayenne Diesel into acceleration with smoothness, efficiency and precision. Its gearshift maps range from maximum economy through to maximum performance. Depending on the driving style and current road conditions, it automatically One of the special features of Tiptronic S is standby control. When the car is stationary in an active gear position and the foot brake applied, the input clutch automatically disconnects the engine from the driveline, thereby reducing fuel consumption. Under heavy braking in ‘Sport’ mode, Tiptronic S quickly shifts down to maximise engine braking. An incline sensor enables better uphill acceleration and superior engine braking on descent.
The Porsche Hill Holder prevents the vehicle from rolling back, facilitating easy hill starts without having to use the brakes. High performance and high efficiency. On and off road. No less than you would expect from a Porsche Cayenne. selects the optimum gearshift pattern. The immediacy of response, with practically no interruption in drive, adds up to superbly dynamic performance. If you prefer, you can also change gear manually by using the rocker controls on the steering wheel or by nudging the gear selector lever.

The new Porsche Cayenne Diesel not only boasts outstanding performance and efficiency. Its steering is precise, its chassis sporty. Yet it doesn’t compromise on comfort or safety whatever the terrain. The standard Porsche Traction Management (PTM) – an intelligent permanent all-wheel drive system transmits the power from the new Cayenne Diesel to the road with optimum precision and control. PTM actively distributes engine torque precisely where it is needed. Thanks to the PTM low-range mode, where all gear ratios are reduced, the new Porsche Cayenne Diesel remains mobile in soft ground and performs better when towing a heavy trailer load.
The standard Porsche Stability Management (PSM) is an electronic control system to help stabilise
the vehicle (and trailer, if fitted) in hazardous road scenarios and to increase handling safety. In addition to anti-lock braking (ABS), PSM includes two other functions that help reduce braking distances: electronic brake prefill readies the braking system by increasing the pressure in the brake lines. The brake assist function then provides the required brake pressure to ensure maximum deceleration in the event of an emergency stop. Porsche Stability Management notably enhances handling safety. Air suspension featuring selflevelling, ride-height control and Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) is available as an option. The self-levelling facility maintains a constant ground clearance, regardless of vehicle load. With the ride-height control on the centre console, you can easily vary the ground clearance. The current ride-height setting is indicated in the instrument cluster and on a separate LED display on the centre console.

The optional PASM (only available in conjunction with air suspension) is an electronic damping control system. It offers continuous, active adjustment of individual damping forces based on current road conditions and driving style, thus enhancing handling safety and ride comfort. The driver has a choice of three setup modes: ‘Comfort’, ‘Normal’ and ‘Sport’. For extreme off-road use, there’s
the optional Off-road Technology package. As well as increasing underbody protection, it includes
an electronically variable rear differential. This differential can also be manually locked for the
toughest off-road conditions. The new Porsche Cayenne Diesel. A match for even the most difficult terrain with the comfort and safety typical of Porsche.
The performance of the new Porsche Cayenne Diesel is not only defined in terms of power and torque, but also in terms of economy and low emissions. The 3.0-litre V6 turbo-diesel boasts high compression ratios and excellent thermal efficiency. High efficiency means the higher energy density of diesel fuel compared with petrol can be utilised more effectively. The result is low fuel consumption and low emissions. Low particle emissions come courtesy of the exhaust emissions treatment system on the new Cayenne Diesel that includes exhaust gas recirculation, an oxidisation catalyst, and diesel particle filter that regenerates automatically in the background.

The smooth-running unit and silencer also ensure low noise emissions. When it comes to materials and recycling, sustainability takes priority at Porsche. Every Porsche is built to endure both technically and in terms of design. The lightweight exhaust on the Cayenne models, for example, is constructed from long-life stainless steel. Also, every Porsche model is entirely free of asbestos, CFCs and components manufactured using CFCs. All legal requirements in respect of recycling are met. Materials are labelled in accordance with VDA 260, enabling better recycling of end-of-life vehicles and individual parts and assemblies. While more than 85 % of the car can be repaired or recycled using current technologies, the chances are your new Cayenne may never need recycling at all. After all, two thirds of all the cars we have ever made are still on the road today. Ultimately, there’s no better way of saving valuable resources.
As you push performance to the limit, you need to throw your body and soul into it 110%. Particularly when it comes to the unforeseeable. Anything less would be irresponsible. That’s why the new Cayenne Diesel is prepared precisely for these eventualities. Porsche braking systems are renowned worldwide as the benchmark in performance and fade resistance. The brake discs on the
six-piston monobloc aluminium fixed calipers at the front and fourpiston equivalents at the rear measure 330 mm in diameter and are internally vented all round. This simple yet highly effective design ensures consistent brake performance thanks to improved cooling even when the car’s fully laden with five adult occupants, a full complement of luggage and a braked trailer load of up to 3,500 kg. All brake pads are fitted with individual wear sensors.
The brake lines serving each of the rear calipers feature special off-road protection against rocks and other debris. Additional protection comes courtesy of full-size airbags for driver and front passenger and a side impact protection system featuring a thorax airbag in each front seat. Curtain-type airbags on each side of the roof provide extensive head protection for both rows of seats. They are not only deployed during a side impact, but also if the rollover detection system determines the car is likely to overturn. The seat belts on the new Porsche Cayenne Diesel feature seat-belt pre-tensioners (front and outer rear seats) and force limiters (front seats only). The front passenger seat and outer rear seats are also equipped with ISOFIX mounting points for compatible child seats. If a child seat is mounted on the front passenger seat, the corresponding airbag can be quickly deactivated using a key-operated switch. Our ongoing development of the lightweight steel body provides a major contribution to safety. The result is high rigidity combined with consistent deformation properties and exceptional body strength.
The character of the new Cayenne Diesel is apparent at first glance: accomplished, athletic, brimming
with energy and potential. A genuine Porsche no less. The front-end design features H7 projector-beam headlights. Their flattened headlight geometry gives a broader look to the car. This is
complimented further by the large air intake openings for optimum cooling. The flared wheel arches emphasise the athleticism of the new Cayenne Diesel. The rear section also alludes to the powerful capability of the car. LED taillights and brake lights plus Porsche. integrated matt-silver single-tube
tailpipes add a distinctive finishing touch. Running boards with integrated skid plates and the
SportDesign package are available as an option. The package includes an extended roof spoiler with fixed bi-plane profile finished in the chosen exterior colour.
Using the standard roof rails, the new Cayenne Diesel can be equipped with an optional roof transport system. It is compatible with all the usual load-carrying attachments available from Porsche Tequipment e.g. ski/snowboard carriers and roof boxes. All load-bearing parts are designed for a maximum load of 100 kg. The optional roof rails can also be combined with a set of transverse roof bars from Porsche Tequipment, offering a maximum load of 75 kg. Further information can be obtained in the Tequipment Porsche Cayenne catalogue or from your Porsche Centre. The preparation for an optional towbar system comes as standard. For the largest of loads, you can choose from two towing options: an electrically retractable towbar system or a manually detachable towbar. With the electric system, the ball neck can be retracted beneath the rear apron all at the push of a button. Both options have a maximum braked trailer load of 3,500 kg (with a maximum noseweight of 140 kg) and come with a 13-pole socket. In short: a powerful first impression, inside and out, that is also enduringly Porsche.
