The interior of the Cayenne Electric is transformed into an experiential space where Porsche’s sporting DNA meets digital innovation. "The aim was to combine the typical Cayenne characteristics with the newly created display areas and requirements of the new 'Porsche Digital Interaction' in a coherent overall concept – innovative, forward-looking and well considered down to the smallest detail," says Markus Auerbach, Head of Interior Design Style Porsche.
The new Porsche Digital Interaction display and control concept marks a milestone in digitalisation. At the heart of it all is the Flow Display – a curved OLED display that flows smoothly into the centre console, enabling a new and unique operating concept. Together with other screens, it forms the largest continuous digital surface in a Porsche (see separate chapter for details).
The side air vents are arranged vertically in typical Cayenne fashion and sharpen the character. Above the Flow Display is another, slim vent. Another striking design element is the hand rest on the centre console. It elegantly completes the design of the Flow Display and enables particularly ergonomic operation. Because the heel of the hand rests securely on it, the hand remains steady even when driving on uneven surfaces or bumpy roads. This makes it much easier to control touch functions in particular.
"The aim of the redesign of the digital content on the screens was to create an even more immersive and intense connection between driver and sports car," says Ivo van Hulten, Head of Driver Experience at Style Porsche. Configurable widgets make operation more intuitive than ever before. The new Themes app can be used to customise the colour scheme of all digital displays in the interior. There is a choice of five predefined colour worlds that change the appearance of the Flow Display, the dash panel insert and the passenger display. As a result, the digital user interface itself becomes a design element in the interior. It adds a new, purely digital dimension to the classic options for material and colour selection (see separate chapter).
Individual down to the last detail – and leather-free on request
Never before has it been possible to configure a Cayenne so comprehensively and individually as with the new all-electric model. Customers can choose from 12 interior combinations and, depending on the model, up to five interior and five accent packages. This opens up almost unlimited possibilities for customising the interior to one’s own style – from understated and elegant to sporty and progressive.
The decorative inlays in the interior packages add specific accents to the centre console and door panels. The Cayenne Electric is equipped with the Lasershade interior trim package as standard. The new brushed aluminium Silverberry interior package and the Elmwood interior package are available as options. The vivid wood grain of the latter, along with its warm, dark colour, create a particularly natural atmosphere in the interior. The Cayenne Turbo (Cayenne Turbo Electric (WLTP)*: Electrical consumption combined: 22.4 – 20.4 kWh/100 km; CO₂ emissions combined: 0 g/km; CO₂ class: A) features carbon inserts in an ‘open-pore’ format for the first time. This lends the sporty styling an even greater sense of modernity and is pleasant to touch.
The new attractive colours of the accent packages are tailored to the newly designed interior. The styling elements are subtle but visually effective throughout the interior and can be freely configured regardless of the selected interior colour or decor. In addition to the standard colour black, the colours Silvershade, Dark Copper and Deep Sea Blue are optionally available. Turbonite is reserved for the Cayenne Turbo.
Porsche has also developed new material variants for the Cayenne Electric. In addition to the traditional leather choices, the new colours Magnesium Grey, Lavender and Sage Grey are available. For customers who prefer a leather-free interior, there is a Race-Tex interior with a Pepita fabric option – a tribute to the iconic Porsche design of decades past.
Porsche Design's programme of custom-built timepieces has been expanded to in-clude the SUV model range. This means that Cayenne customers can now also order a watch from Porsche's own Swiss watch manufacturer that is tailored to their vehicle down to the last detail. The wristbands are made from original Porsche interior leather and yarn, while the colour ring around the dial is available in all Porsche exterior colours, including "Paint to Sample". The watch case is made from ultra-light titanium. All Porsche Design Timepieces are COSC-certified and meet the highest standards of precision.
