Porsche: More fun in the next Cayenne
ADVERTISEMENT CONCEPT Porsche presents a fundamentally new architecture for the interior of the freshly launched Cayenne. The Porsche Driver Experience opens up new possibilities for interaction for driver and front passenger.
With the new edition of the Cayenne, which will celebrate its world premiere at Auto Shanghai on April 18, Porsche is introducing a new display and operating concept. The Porsche Driver Experience stands for fully digital display, versatile individualization and intuitive operation. The most important controls are grouped around the steering wheel. This is intended to create an even more intensive driving experience.
Extra display for the passenger
The new cockpit incorporates elements of the Taycan for the first time in a Porsche model with an internal combustion engine. It includes a digital instrument cluster in curved and free-standing design with variable display options, a redesigned center console, and a new generation of steering wheel. The automatic gear selector is located to the right of the steering wheel. This creates space on the center console for a large climate control panel. Passengers experience a new level of interaction with the vehicle and driver via the optional front passenger display.
Digital and analog elements
Depending on the view selected, the focus is on the tachometer, online navigation, night vision assistant or 3-D driving assistance. A key feature of the new Driver Experience is the right balance between digital and analog elements. All the controls that are important for the driving experience are also grouped directly around the steering wheel. In typical Porsche fashion, the new engine start button is located to the left of the steering wheel. The new multifunction sports steering wheel originates from the 911 and has been completely redesigned compared to the previous model.
Connectivity improvement
Porsche has further improved connectivity in the new Cayenne. A cooled storage area with inductive charging function is available as standard for smartphones. The cooling allows optimized charging power of up to 15 watts. Extended integration of online services brings new possibilities for interaction, such as the use of the Siri voice assistant to operate vehicle functions.
