PORSCHECayenne S (958) 2010 - 2014

　　The second generation of the Porsche Cayenne was launched at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show. It was a big improvement over its predecessor and featured an evolved design.

　　The first generation of the Cayenne brought as many fans as enemies to the German Porsche brand, but the fact was that it became the most sold vehicle from the brand's stable. Not only that the SUV trend was good for business, but it also offered true performances and comfort. It was the absolute Porsche for the entire family.

　　The second generation came with a lighter bodywork and new styling for the front, that resembled the Panamera. The hood was similar to the 4-door Porsche sedan as well. The big debate about the car was in the rear, where the taillights were somehow similar in the design concept with those from a Hyundai SantaFe.

　　Inside, the Panamera inspiration was obvious. A new steering wheel, instrument cluster, and buttons layout on the center console was installed. The center stack was redesigned as well and the vents were taller than the VW-like air-vents from its predecessor. The sunroof was standard for the S version.

　　For the engine, the Cayenne S featured a 4.8-liter V8 unit 100 hp stronger than the base, 3.6-liter version taken from the VW lineup, and 100 hp less than the 500 hp Cayenne Turbo. For the transmission, the 2010 Cayenne lost the low-range transfer case. The standard transmission was an 8-speed Tiptronic gearbox. All-wheel drive was installed standard as well.
