The rear of the new Cayenne in particular has been clearly modified. The rear lights now have a flatter and more precise design. Like the LED daytime running lights at the front, the brake lights have a four-part design. Registration plate recess, handle strip and lighting are integrated even more elegantly in the tailgate. What's more, the new tailgate takes up the shape of the rear lights and continues it via a precise horizontal light-refracting edge. This emphasises the width of the vehicle and gives it a more powerful road stance. The new design of the exhaust tailpipes that are integrated in the lower rear panel also contributes to this. All Cayenne S models now also feature a double-pipe design. The roof spoiler no longer has a step which means that it continues the basic line of the roof even more consistently and has a more powerful appearance.

Front: a subtle stronger presence

It is the front of the vehicle that plays a decisive role in shaping the overall look – and this is why the front end, wings and bonnet have also been completely redesigned. For the viewer all main design lines now no longer run towards the middle, but outwards. This gives the Cayenne a much wider and therefore more powerful look.

The bonnet has a much wider design and its side gaps are now on the wings. The central air inlet is now somewhat smaller than that of the predecessor and this underlines the tautness of the front view. It is flanked by two further external air inlets that now appear even more voluminous and have moved outwards. The "airblades" on the right and left sides of the vehicle front efficiently channel cooling air to the intercooler and are also an eye-catching highlight.

The bi-xenon main headlights that come as standard on the basic and S-models with the "floating" four-point LED daytime running lights typical of Porsche clearly identify the new Cayenne as a Porsche at first glance. The premium character of the Cayenne Turbo top model is underlined by LED main headlights as a standard feature including Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS).

On the side view of the Cayenne the sporty roof line sloping downwards towards the rear is an attractive feature. The modified design gives the front and rear a more precise and therefore also a more striking look. Further design features are the side mirrors with integrated indicators, the sharper lines of the wings and the clearer presence of the roof spoiler. This also improves aerodynamics by minimising air turbulence.
