A new AR head up display and the AI powered Voice Pilot offer easy control for the driver. The focus remains on safety comfort and high value digital support.
Electric, Hybrid and Petrol Will Continue Together
Porsche has confirmed that the electric model will join the hybrid and petrol Cayenne lineup. This means more choice for customers across different regions including the Middle East. The brand plans to keep all three power systems available for years to come.
Dubai Welcomes the First Public Appearance
