About the Cayenne Turbo's exterior and interior
The 2018 SUV is 65kg lighter than its 2017 predecessor since it has an aluminum body. It features a self-leveling three-chamber air suspension with an active shock absorber system and is also the first SUV to get an adaptive roof spoiler. The cabin sports a new design and features advanced equipment like touchscreen and voice control.
Engine
The new generation 4.0-litre motor gets turbochargers
The 2018 Porsche Cayenne Turbo packs a 4-litre bi-turbo V8 engine which can hit a top speed of 286 kmph. The vehicle packs 542 bhp and 770 Nm of peak torque. Its bi-turbo motor can propel the third-generation car from 0-100 kmph in just 4.1 seconds. This can be further reduced to 3.9 seconds with the help of the Sports Chrono pack.
Information
The lightweight car can off-road with smart assistance systems
The Cayenne Turbo has been a bestseller for the German carmaker, so it is highly expected to boost Porsche's sales in India. The performance SUV will compete with other offerings like Range Rover SVR, BMW X5 M, Mercedes-AMG GLS 63, and the Maserati Levante.
