The updated Cayenne line up officially goes on sale on March 09, with local deliveries expected from late in the third quarter of this year.

This feature was previously available as an option only.
The entry Cayenne and Cayenne Diesel sold in Australia are further improved with Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) and 14-way power front seats now standard. These were previously available as an option only.
Porsche Connect Plus is available as a $590 option in all Cayenne models and brings with it Apple CarPlay® for USB connection of an iPhone via the new PCM.
The new generation PCM is now standard on the recently launched 2017 model 911, Macan, Cayenne and will be standard on the new 718 Boxster when it arrives in showrooms from late June.
