Basics About the Porsche Cayenne for 2022

A true icon in its category, the Porsche Cayenne is a two-row luxury SUV that provides one of the highest levels of driver enjoyment available. It is sturdily built and provides a great deal of room, and multiple engine options allow you to personalize your Cayenne to best suit your driving habits. For those who are environmentally conscious, there’s even a plug-in hybrid version known as the E-Hybrid that reduces emissions while delivering high performance.

Four-zone climate control is available, and seats can be heated, ventilated, or even massaging: it’s up to you. A 12.3-inch touchscreen runs the Cayenne’s infotainment system, which benefits from numerous upgrades for the 2022 model year. Audio system options include a 14-speaker Bose unit and a 21-speaker Burmeister setup.

New Features

The 2022 Cayenne receives numerous upgrades to an infotainment system that provides excellent personalization options for today’s drivers. It now runs on PCM 6.0, which is the latest generation of the German automaker’s infotainment software known as Porsche Communication Management. In addition to multiple new features, the system has been upgraded with over-the-air technology that will enable wireless updates in the future.

Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are included, and the revamped navigation system features improved clarity and quicker route processing to get you where you want to go. Cayenne’s voice recognition software has also been upgraded and does a better job with voice commands. The Cayenne, S, and E-Hybrid models now offer the Platinum Edition package, which adds luxurious satin finishes to the exterior as well as unique 21-inch wheels.

How It Performs

There are multiple engine options depending on what is most important for your driving style. The base Cayenne has a 355-horsepower V-6 engine, while the Cayenne S sports a twin-turbo 434-hp V-6. The E-Hybrid version pairs an electric motor with a turbocharged V-6 that puts out 455-hp, while the Cayenne GTS has a twin-turbo V-8 that boasts a whopping 460-hp.
