The images shared by Porsche for the Cayenne facelift show an interior inspired off its Taycan electric sportscar. The Cayenne is now seen sporting three screens on its dashboard. A 12.6-inch curved screen for the digital instrument cluster, and a 12.3-inch screen for the infotainment head unit. While a new 10.9-inch screen has now been introduced as an option for the front passenger.
Depending on the vehicle’s specifications, the curved digital instrument panel offers seven different views – including Porsche-style five-dial. The views include a simplified layout with a focus on essential information.
