First-generation Porsche Cayenne

Driving off-road has never been more stylish.

Cayenne

With the launch of the fully off-road Cayenne, Porsche broke new ground and entered the increasingly popular sports utility vehicle (SUV) segment. The vehicle was initially launched on the market in autumn 2002 with the Cayenne S and Cayenne Turbo models. From the model year 2004, the model series was supplemented by the entry-level Cayenne.

Cayenne S

When launched on the market in autumn 2002, two model variants were immediately available: the Cayenne S and the Cayenne Turbo. The new Porsche model series leaves nothing to be desired when it comes to performance. Featuring Tiptronic S, the Cayenne S could go from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 7.2 seconds and reach a top speed of 242 km/h (150 mph).

Cayenne Turbo

The fastest SUV at the time, the Cayenne Turbo could reach 266 km/h (165 mph) and get to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 5.6 seconds from a standing start.

Cayenne Diesel

In February 2009, Porsche expanded its model range with a diesel-engine passenger car for the first time. The Cayenne Diesel featured a state-of-the-art V6 turbo diesel engine.

Cayenne GTS

In November 2007, Porsche expanded the model series with a definitively sporty variant fitted with a 298 kW (405 PS) naturally aspirated engine. The chassis of the Cayenne GTS was specially developed for this model variant.
