The 2012 Porsche Cayenne has a few exciting new options for the current model year. Black headlight surrounds, tinted tail lamps, new seat stitching, tinted tail lamps, illuminated steel door sills, and Yachting Mahogany interior are just a few on the list. New on the 2012 Porsche Cayenne Turbo is the Power Kit, which boosts horsepower, and larger Ceramic Brakes to slow things down quicker.

With a look unique to the Porsche brand, the 2012 Porsche Cayenne is a more curvaceous SUV than most of its competitors. All exterior make and model logos are in chrome.

Because it's a Porsche, you know performance is top-notch. All models are equipped all all-wheel drive.

Beyond the base version, the Cayenne S gets a 4.8-Liter V-8 engine that produces 400 horsepower. The Turbo pushes out even more than that - topping out at over 500 horsepower. The hybrid runs on an environmentally friendly 3.0-Liter supercharged V-6 and electric motor combination.

Built with your family in mind, the 2012 Porsche Cayenne includes an impressive number of safety features. Made from lightweight but high-strength steel, it has front driver and passenger airbags, side airbags in each seat, and side-curtain airbags. It also has rollover detection sensors and an array of optional safety features.
