Porsche is expanding its Cayenne range in Australia to include a further two Platinum Edition models: the Cayenne S Platinum Edition and Cayenne S Diesel Platinum Edition.
Both new models come with added comfort and design features above the already high level of standard equipment of the S models; namely: eight-way leather sports seats (front) with Alcantara seat centres from the Cayenne GTS1), Panoramic Roof, Surround View park assist, Lane Change Assist, Connect Plus for the Porsche Communication Management system, Power Steering Plus and Porsche crest on all head rests.
Platinum Edition models are differentiated externally with 21-inch Sport Edition wheels in Platinum with a satin finish as standard and window surrounds in sporty high gloss black. Upon entry “Platinum Edition” lettering adorns the front door sills with a sporty analogue clock positioned on the dashboard.
These additional standard features are valued in excess of $12,000.
Available colours are solid black or white, or the metallic colours of Jet Black, Mahogany, Purpurite, Carrara White and Rhodium Silver.
Power outputs and fuel consumption remain unchanged over the S models with the 309 kW (420-hp) 3.6-litre six-cylinder bi-turbo engine in the Cayenne S consuming 9.8 L/100 kms and the V8 engine with twin turbocharging in the Cayenne S Diesel generating 283 kW (385 hp) consuming 8.2 L/100 kms.
Together with versions of the Cayenne, Cayenne Diesel and the Cayenne S E-Hybrid, the Platinum Edition now comprises five Cayenne models.
The Cayenne S Platinum Edition is priced at $137,100 which represents a price reduction of 4.3 per cent over the standard S despite the significant level of additional equipment; while the Cayenne S Diesel Platinum Edition is priced at $142,500, a 4.4 per cent reduction over the standard S Diesel.
Both additions to the Cayenne range are now on sale with first deliveries expected from late May of this year.
