Porsche Cayenne Platinum Edition : 2017 Special edition Cayenne Diesel and Cayenne S E-Hybrid


Porsche is offering a new Cayenne Platinum
Edition. The special edition Cayenne Diesel
and Cayenne S E-Hybrid are easily
recognisable at first glance by their distinctive
sporty appearance.
Both models also offer premium-quality
features at a very attractive price. For
example, the vehicles' large 20-inch wheels in
RS Spyder design are housed in wider wheel
arches. The exclusive interior is dominated by
leather sport seats with electric eight-way
adjustment, Alcantara centre panels and the
Porsche crest on all head rests. Porsche uses
the Platinum Edition designation for selected
model series that are offered for only a
limited time.
The models' expanded features improve
comfort and safety in particular. For example,
standard equipment in the Cayenne Platinum
Edition includes Bi-xenon headlights with the
Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS), Power
Steering Plus and ParkAssist in the front and
back come also standard. The latter system not
only uses an audible beep to indicate the
distance to objects or other cars in front of
and behind the vehicle; it also graphically
depicts the direct surroundings on the central
display. The exterior mirrors and rear-view
mirror are equipped with an automatic anti-
glare feature as standard, while dark-tinted
privacy glass (also standard) provides
additional privacy for rear passengers.
A non-metallic black and white finish is
standard, with Deep Black, Purpurite,
Mahogany, Carrera White or Rhodium Silver
metallic paints available as an option. The
broadened wheel arches also come in the
chosen colour scheme. The models' exclusive
appearance is rounded out by a high-gloss
exterior package.
For anyone entering the vehicles, the special
status of the Cayenne is plain to see with
stainless steel door sills with "Platinum
Edition" lettering, and illuminated door sills
that light up the model name in the Cayenne S
E-Hybrid Platinum Edition. As an additional
high-end standard feature, the Platinum
Edition models come with the latest
generation Porsche Communication
Management (PCM) system that includes
online navigation, the Connect Plus module
and a BOSE® Surround Sound system. The
dashboard is adorned with a beautifully
designed analogue clock, and the
Cayenne S E-Hybrid also comes with a
stationary heating/air conditioning system.
The three-litre V6 engine in the Cayenne
Diesel Platinum Edition has an output of 193
kW (262 hp) and consumes between 6.8 and
6.6 litres of diesel per 100 kilometres in the
NEDC, depending on the tyres the vehicle is
equipped with. The combined output of the
Cayenne S E-Hybrid is 306 kW (416 hp). Here,
the perfect interplay between the three-litre
V6 petrol engine and the electric motor results
in total consumption of 3.4–3.3 l/100 km. The
Cayenne Diesel Platinum Edition sells for
€74,352, while the Cayenne S E-Hybrid
Platinum Edition has a sticker price of
€90,298 (all prices include VAT). The Platinum
Edition models can already be ordered; the
market launch is scheduled to begin in June.
The specifications of the Porsche Cayenne
Platinum Edition may vary in individual
markets.
