When Porsche first launched the Cayenne in 2002, the SUV received mixed reactions. Now entering into its 20th year of production and its third generation, the Cayenne has long left its detractors behind.
To celebrate, Porsche gifted the Cayenne an updated Platinum Edition trim. Or what they described as “an even more stylish appearance and an attractive value.”
How Platinum We Talkin’?
While there is no performance boost in the Platinum Edition, there are nice hints of luxury and subtle touches to differentiate it from the standard Cayenne. There are splashes of Satin Platinum colours on many trim and exterior pieces such as the intakes on the front fascia and the Porsche logo on the taillight. The 21-inch RS Spyder Design wheels also get the touch of Satin Platinum and are only found on the Platinum Edition model.
Black sport exhaust pipes and high-gloss black window trim really pop against some of the colours available on the Platinum Edition. However, for just a little extra, you can get some metallic colours in Jet Black, Carrara White, Mahogany, Moonlight Blue, or Chalk—a new colour available for the Cayenne.
Platinum Edition Touches
Inside, you get the standard upscale Cayenne interior with some Platinum Edition touches. The Chalk-coloured seat belts add great contrast to the black leather interior without being offensive or bland. There are touches of aluminium, as well, with a brushed aluminium sill panel with “Platinum Edition” embossed into it. Textured aluminium trim is also available as an optional interior package.
The Platinum Edition Cayenne comes with LED headlights with Porsche Dynamic Light and a Panoramic Roof. Inside, you’re treated to a Bose Surround Sound system while you’re sitting in the eight-way adjustable front seats. Both front and rear seats come with Porsche crests in their headrests.
Any Way You Want It
However, If you’re willing to fork out the cash, you can get a mind-boggling array of customisation options on the exterior and interior of the Platinum Edition Cayenne. Porsche Manufaktur offers you the ability to craft yours in a way that you want, just like you can with a regular Cayenne.
When Can You Get It?
Porsche expects the first lot to arrive during the Summer of 2022.
