SDAP Previews All-New Porsche Cayenne Months Ahead Of Launch [+Video]

It’s not due to be officially launched here till around the 3rd quarter of this year, but that didn’t stop Sime Darby Auto Performance (SDAP) the official-importers of the Porsche marque in Malaysia to preview the all-new Cayenne to the media today…

The 3rd generation Cayenne will continue the traditions of Porsche’s first SUV, and will come in two variants; a 340bhp 3.0-litre Turbo and a 2.9-litre V6 Bi-Turbo with 440bhp.

The Cayenne Turbo produces 40bhp more than its predecessor, while the Cayenne S Bi-Turbo now has 20bhp more than the model it replaces. The latter will do the 0-100kmh sprint in less than 5-sec, and reach a top-speed of 265kmh.

Here’s a closer look at the new Cayenne by our friend Bobby Ang from Aurizn / EVO Malaysia, who drove it overseas recently:

The new Cayenne is available now for pre-order at all Porsche Centres; Glenmarie, Sg.Besi and Penang (Juru Autocity)
