Buying a Car

Often touted as the product that helped save the Porsche brand, the Cayenne has evolved over its 20 years or so in the market into one of the best premium SUVs available today, with superb driving dynamics, a high-quality interior and fantastic ergonomics, we understand why it is so popular.

This list of optional extras is intended as a guide, and there are many more than just 10 extras for these vehicles.

1. Special colour

There are three special colours available in the Cayenne range, Crayon, Carmine Red and Cashmere Beige Metallic. We have selected Carmine red as we think it suits this model well.

Cost: R54 390

2. Sporty wheels

There are 17 alloy wheel options in the Cayenne range, but we like the Turbo Design wheels in satin platinum with the wheel arch extensions painted in the body colour.

Cost: R92 630

3. Leather Adaptive Sports seats two-tone

The Adaptive Sports seats look great and offer so much more support than the standard items. We have also included the two-tone leather seats finished in Black and Bordeaux Red to match our red exterior.

Cost: R88 960 + R45 440

4.Panoramic Roof

The panoramic roof allows for more natural light to enter the cabin and creating an impression of more space. The front portion can be opened and there is also an electrically operated sunblind.

Cost: R45 970

5. SportDesign package painted in Black (high-gloss)

The SportDesign package includes a front apron, side skirts, wheel arch extensions and rear apron pained in the exterior colour while the air intakes, c-blades, roof spoiler and rear diffuser are painted gloss black.

Cost: R116 730

6. Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC)

The dynamic chassis control system includes electromechanical anti-roll bars up front and at the rear and is paired with the Adaptive Air Suspension system.

Cost: R123 670

7. Tinted LED headlights

The tinted LED headlights add aesthetic appeal to the Cayenne while providing the same lighting performance.

Cost: R31 170

8. Sports exhaust system with black tailpipes

The Sports exhaust system provides a better sound thanks to a modified main silencer and sportier tailpipes

Cost: R65 000

9. Adaptive cruise control

Both radar and video-based technology combine to ensure a safe following distance to vehicles and traffic ahead while collision and brake assist prevent any potential accidents.

Price: R38 890

10. BOSE Surround Sound System

The BOSE Surround Sound System features 14 speakers, a 14-channel amplifier and a subwoofer for a premium sound experience.

Price: R30 860
