New 2009 Porsche Cayenne

Combining a legendary automaker’s timeless sense of refinement and style with the utility of a midsize SUV, the 2009 Porsche Cayenne arrives as a favorite among today’s luxury car buyers. Available in five distinctive trim levels - the V-6, S, GTS, Turbo and Turbo S – the Cayenne is a five-passenger, all-wheel drive sport utility vehicle with a touch of class that will turn heads in town, and the ruggedness to handle drives off the beaten path. Ranging from a 290-horsepower 3.6-liter V-6 engine to a 4.8-liter 385-horsepower V-8 to the ultimate behemoth – a twin-turbocharged 4.8-liter 550-horsepower V-8 – strength is not a question. 

Competing in the same luxury SUV segment with the Acura MDX, BMW X5 and Lexus GX 470, the Cayenne sets itself apart with elegant yet standard features that increase value on your money, including a conventional moonroof or panoramic roof system, bi-xenon headlamps, power memory seats, 4-zone climate control and a Bose surround sound system. 

Porsche engineers attempt to maximize both comfort and driving ease in the Cayenne, with desirable features like available adjustable air suspension with their proprietary Active Suspension Management, which is a variable damping system that uses five accelerometers and electronically-controlled adjustable shocks to manage body weight transfer both on- and off-road. Their standard Communications Management package includes a GPS navigation system with integrated telephone and audio control for excellent directions and communications flexibility. 

Safety accents on all Cayenne trim styles include electronic stability control, traction control and a 4-wheel Anti-lock Braking System with 4-wheel disc brakes and monobloc calipers. Six airbags come standard, including dual-stage front, side-impact thorax airbags for front passengers and side curtain airbags for front and rear passengers. 

Showcasing an eye-pleasing look with a spacious and stylish interior, the 2009 Porsche Cayenne is one luxury SUV you must have on your list to take a closer look at both outside and in.
