发帖数: 2469 | 1 The 2019 Porsche Cayenne is the all-new, next-generation version of the
fabled German sports-car brand's once-maligned but massive-selling midsize
SUV. In true Porsche tradition, it doesn't look terribly different from the
car it replaces, but things have been streamlined and tidied up to make the
new Cayenne look even more like an actual Porsche as opposed to an SUV that'
s had Porsche styling cues attached. Should you think it looks like an
enlarged Macan with some Panamera taillights, you wouldn't be alone.
Although the exterior dimensions remain roughly the same, there's a bit more
cargo room, the tire widths are staggered (like on a 911), and there's been
a 143-pound weight loss thanks to the increased use of aluminum and a
substantially lighter battery. Mechanical updates include major updates to
the chassis and suspension, the latter of which comes standard with adaptive
damping (Porsche Active Suspension Management) and can be enhanced with an
upgraded air suspension that improves both ride and handling. The new option
of rear-wheel steering is a rarity for an SUV and migrates from the 911 and
Panamera to provide superior turning capability through tight corners and
increased stability at high speeds.
How Fast and How Much Stuff?
At launch, there will be two versions available. The base 2019 Cayenne will
have a 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 that produces 340 horsepower and 332 lb-ft
of torque. Porsche says it'll reach 60 miles per hour in 5.9 seconds, or 5.6
when the Sport Chrono package and its launch control feature are specified.
The Cayenne S has a 2.9-liter twin-turbocharged V6 good for 440 hp and 406
lb-ft of torque. It'll hit 60 in 4.9 seconds, or 4.6 with Sport Chrono. All
Cayennes are all-wheel-drive and come with a new 8-speed automatic
transmission. Look for Turbo (with a capital T), Turbo S, E-Hybrid and GTS
versions to roll out eventually.
Inside, the driver is greeted by a design that'll be awfully familiar to
anyone who's seen or spent time in the new Panamera. It too is dominated by
an enormous 12.3-inch central touchscreen atop touch-sensitive "buttons" and
an air vent electronically controlled by that touchscreen (it's a bit
gimmicky and overly complicated). The gauges feature a central tachometer
surrounded by a pair of 7-in digital displays that serve as secondary gauges
and infotainment readouts. The Cayenne does, however, differ from the
Panamera stylistically in two key ways: the outer rectangular air vents and
chunky central grab handles that carry over from the last Cayenne.
Judging by the pair of Cayennes we sat in during its unveil, interior
quality remains impeccable. Back seat space still won't wow anyone, although
its sporting selection of driver seats should keep you happy during long
road trips.
All of Porsche's latest electronic driving aids will also be available on
the 2019 Cayenne, including lane-keeping assist, forward-collision warning
and automatic braking, and the InnoDrive enhanced adaptive cruise control
system, which pulls data from the navigation system to better tackle curvy
roads.
What Does It Cost and When Can I Get It?
Pricing for a base 2019 Cayenne model starts at $66,750, including
destination. The Cayenne S starts at $83,950. However, we've never heard of
anyone getting a bone-stock Porsche. The ample options list that allows for
customization should be similar to what you'd find on the current Cayenne,
with some of the more recent updates introduced for the new Panamera.
Pricing for those options should be similar or equal.
Look for the 2019 Porsche Cayenne to reach U.S. dealers midway through 2018.
Should you be interested in getting one, it probably wouldn't be a bad idea
to contact the dealer soon and start to think about the options and color
scheme you'd prefer. You might as well take advantage of the wait.
