保时捷近日正式发布了2015款卡宴改款车。该车外观变化不大，车头采用更大格栅，重新设计保险杠和更大进气口以提升引擎冷却效果。前翼子板进行了改款，引擎盖略微加长，比前款车型看上去更有形。卡宴柴油版、S和S E-Hybrid混动版标配双氙气前大灯。Turbo版可选装采用保时捷动态照明系统的LED前大灯。车尾采用更具棱角的尾门，升级版尾灯组和集成排气尾管的改款后保险杠。车厢内配备的新的多功能方向盘带有换挡拨片，同时工程师提升了自动停启系统。该车最重要变化是动力系统。卡宴S搭载新的3.6升V6双涡轮增压引擎，最大功率309千瓦/420马力@6000转/分，扭矩550牛米@1350-4500转/分。这台引擎将替代费油的4.8升V8自然进气引擎，虽然功率增加15千瓦/20马力，扭矩增加50牛米，但更省油。该车百公里加速时间5.5秒（如果选装Sport Chrono套装为5.4秒），最高时速259公里，比搭载4.8升自然进气引擎的老款车快0.4秒，最高时速增加1英里/小时。而混动版搭载一台3.0升V6机械增压引擎，功率245千瓦/333马力，同时还有一台70千瓦/95马力电机和10.9千瓦时锂电池组，总计输出功率306千瓦/416马力@5500转/分，扭矩590牛米@1250-4000转/分。车辆百公里加速时间5.9秒，最高时速243公里，在纯电动模式下可行驶18-36公里，最高时速124公里。保时捷表示，2015款卡宴的底盘进行了改进，在不影响动态性能的同时提供了更好的舒适性。该车将于11月1日在美国上市，柴油版起价61700美元（约合人民币37.95万元），卡宴S起价74100美元（约合人民币45.57万元），混动版起价76400美元（约合人民币46.96万元），Turbo起价113600美元（约合人民币69.86美元），以上价格都不包括995美元运费。
Porsche Cayenne facelift officially introduced with new twin-turbo V6 and plug-in hybrid version
Porsche has taken the wraps off the facelifted Cayenne which comes with a number of modifications.
At a first glance the styling changes appear to be subtle but the 2015 Cayenne comes with a series of visual tweaks, especially at the front where there's a larger grille and a redesigned bumper with more blades in the air ducts to improve cooling. Also revised are the front wings as well as the hood that has grown in size a little bit and appears more contoured than before.
Bi-xenon headlights are installed as standard in the Diesel, S and S E-Hybrid versions which also have four-point LED daytime running lights. Opt for the Turbo model and you get LED headlights with Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS). Moving at the back, we notice more angular taillights, updated tailgate as well as a different bumper incorporating the exhaust pipes.
The most important revisions occur under the hood where the Cayenne S has received a new V6 3.6-liter bi-turbo engine developed entirely by Porsche. The motor is capable of generating 420 PS (309 kW) at 6,000 rpm and 550 Nm (406 lb-ft) of torque from 1,350 to 4,500 rpm. It will serve as a replacement for the thirsty naturally-aspirated V8 4.8-liter, offering an extra 20 PS (15 kW) and 50 Nm (37 lb-ft) while being more economical. It needs 5.5 seconds (5.4s with Sport Chrono package) to hit 62 mph (100 km/h) and will reach 161 mph (259 km/h) so it's 0.4s quicker in the sprint and has a 1 mph higher top speed.
As for the Cayenne S E-Hybrid, it makes use of a 3.0-liter V6 supercharged engine with 333 PS (245 kW) working together with an electric motor that provides 95 PS (70 kW) for a combined output of 416 PS (306 kW) at 5,500 rpm and 590 Nm (435 lb-ft) from 1,250 to 4,000 rpm. This hardware setup grants a 0-62 mph run in 5.9 seconds and a 151 mph (243 km/h) top speed while on electric power it can reach 77 mph (124 km/h). It boasts a 10.9 kWh lithium-ion battery pack granting an all-electric range from 18 to 36 km (11 to 22 miles)
Porsche says the Cayenne's chassis has been revised to provide better comfort without affecting the SUV's dynamics. Inside the cabin there's a fresh multi-function steering wheel with shift paddles and the engineers have also improved the model's Auto Stop/Start Plus system.
The 2015 Porsche Cayenne facelift will reach U.S. dealerships on November 1 at a starting price of 61,700 USD for the Cayenne Diesel. Up next is the Cayenne S at 74,100 USD, followed by the Cayenne S E-Hybrid at 76,400 USD and the range-topping Cayenne Turbo priced from 113,600 USD. All these prices exclude the 995 USD destination charges.
