The current and third generation of the Porsche Cayenne was introduced in 2019; however, it has recently undergone a mid-cycle update. The latest iterations have a completely new bonnet, headlights, bumpers, fenders, and boot lid. But on the interior, Porsche has also made changes with a new dashboard and a fully digital 12.6-inch instrument cluster similar to that of the Taycan.
But the German automaker didn't just make some enhancements to the styling and tech; they have also increased the performance figures and even added a V8 engine into the range.
