We’re still about one year away from the release of the 2015 Porsche Cayenne facelift, which means that the Germans are still holding the camo on the prototypes that were recently encountered by our spy photographers.
The camouflage isn’t too important though, since the exterior changes won’t be the most important ones to be brought by the revamp - don’t expect the Cayenne to sport the changes you saw when the first generation received its facelift. However, the bumpers, the headlights and tailights, as well as the exhaust tips will be redesigned.
The cabin will also receive a few gentle touches, but nothing that would upset owners of the current model is expected.
However, the enginers were allowed to throw a party inside the powertrain development area. The most important changes start with the Cayenne S, which will leave its naturally-aspirated V8 for an all-new twin-turbo V6 with 420 hp, a scheme borrowed from the 2014 Panamera S.
The Panamera’s engine range will also be mirrored when it comes to the Cayenne S Hybrid, which will feature the Panamera S E-Hybrid’s petrol-electric powertrain. This promises to offer an efficiency of up to 3.1 liters per 100 km (76 mpg), while gifting the driver with 416 hp.
Fans of oil burners will be pleased to find out that the Cayenne Diesel will repalce the current 240 hp V6 with an engine producing at least 300 HP, which is expected to be a remastered incarnation of Audi’s BiTDI.
