The performance analysis of the new Cayenne, is your impression of SUV in your mind?
The new Cayenne inherits the sports car gene of the 911 and is worthy of this colorful shield.
At the end of last year, the new generation of Porsche Cayenne, codenamed E3, was officially released. The overall shape of the MLB Evo platform is longer, wider, and shorter. The more obvious horizontal lines on the front and the iconic penetrating taillights at the rear make the appearance of the entire car look flatter. People say that finally watching the movement A little bit, but it seems just a little bit too.
Just seeing the more appearance seems to be not so "new", but the appearance is not enough to fundamentally explain what essential changes the new Cayenne has. Only after the actual experience can you really feel its inner difference.
This time we experienced the brand new Cayenne at the Porsche Experience Center in Shanghai, which was just completed a month ago, which is the area behind that includes a 1.4km small track, cross-country section and other integrated projects. Many people who have driven the previous generation of Cayenne feel that there is a sense of cumbersomeness, even if there is a 4.8T powerful engine on Turbo. But after driving the brand new Cayenne, this feeling is even more obvious, it is simply a tractor for a car.
The first launch is the new Cayenne equipped with two newly developed 6-cylinder engines: Cayenne is equipped with a 3.0-liter turbocharged engine with an output of 340 horsepower, which is 7 horsepower more than the previous supercharged model. However, the peak torque output of the engine has been advanced from the original 3000rpm to 1340rpm, which is a big change.
Although there is no significant increase in horsepower and torque, the advancement of the power output can make you feel the difference in speed most directly. The start and acceleration are very fast, so you can’t feel that this is still a car, although the weight is reduced. A big guy weighing 65kg but still weighing nearly two tons.
In addition, the Cayenne S is equipped with a 2.9-liter V6 twin-turbocharged engine. The previous 3.6T engine is replaced by the addition of a twin-turbo. The output power can reach 440 horsepower, which is an increase of 20 horsepower over the previous model. The maximum speed can be Reach 265km/h.
The more powerful Turbo model uses a 4.0T V8 twin-turbocharged engine, the horsepower has reached 550, and the 100 km acceleration has reached the level of about 4 seconds. In addition to us, Porsche said that they themselves are also looking forward to the New North results of the new Cayenne Turbo.
In addition, Porsche equipped the Cayenne with the PDCC dynamic chassis control system, which can monitor the height of the suspension on the left and right sides at any time, and maintain the stability of the entire chassis by adding more support to the compressed suspension, which can effectively prevent the vehicle from rolling. We can also see the working status of the system in real time in the dashboard. So on the track, even if we have heard the tires, the attitude of the body is still well controlled, and the control becomes much easier.
When it comes to handling, another point is its PSM stability management system, which can also be understood as Porsche's ESP, which impressed us equally on the first simulated ice course in China. This site simulates the instant loss of grip on the ice surface by testing the speed of the vehicle entering the entrance, when the rear wheel is passing through a movable road, by suddenly sliding to one side.
Its working principle is simply to apply braking force to the outer front wheel when oversteer, and to apply braking force to the inner rear wheel when understeer, thereby stabilizing the body.
To be honest, the shaking of the body at the point where the grip was lost was more than we thought. But as soon as PSM intervenes, it only needs to stabilize the direction and make a slight reversal to pass smoothly, which seems to be no difficulty. It wasn't until we tried to close the PSM again and tried three or four times before finally stabilizing the car without spinning or sliding out. The difference between whether there is a PSM or not is really not small, and it is obvious to help rescue vehicles under control.
In addition, a lighter 4D chassis system, a rear-wheel steering system, a brisk steering feel, and a new central control design including a 12.3-inch large screen, a touch button with feedback, and a new electronic gear lever will make you feel lighter and younger . The actual experience is more obvious than the old model.
Non-paved road? Actually it worksAlthough the positioning of the new Cayenne is still mainly for driving in the city, its off-road capability is not bad at all. It can provide 5 different off-road driving modes (road, gravel road, mud, sand and mountain mode), and the driving device, chassis and two differential locks in the middle and rear can be adjusted accordingly, such as the most powerful mountain Mode, the system will automatically lock both differential locks. Therefore, it doesn't matter what ditch ridges, cross shafts, and big slopes climb.
But in addition to the standard PASM active damping suspension, an air suspension is also available. The new air suspension is increased from the original single-chamber to three-chamber, which can provide 6 types of ground clearance, and the air chamber has a larger volume. And when one of the air chambers fails to work, the other two chambers can increase the air pressure to make up for this loss.
In addition to providing stable support, its greater effect reflects the small continuous bumpy roads including gravel roads. It can minimize the vibration transmitted into the body, although it cannot be said to be flat, but The feeling of walking on the gravel road is a lot better, and this is where I think the advantage of air suspension is best reflected.
In addition, the new Cayenne's panoramic camera and the high-resolution central control screen can clearly see the blind spot of the field of vision on narrow roads and when the line of sight is not good. You can also adjust the bird's-eye view, front, back, left, and right camera views separately. This is also very practical when actually off-road or when parking at ordinary times.
Of course, let's talk about the Porsche Experience Center we visited this time. The Porsche Experience Center Shanghai is the sixth Porsche Driving Experience Center opened in the world after Leipzig, Silverstone, Atlanta, Le Mans and Los Angeles, and the first Porsche Driving Experience Center in Asia. Covering an area of ​​100,000 square meters, with a total investment of 200 million yuan, it combines business and entertainment and can host large-scale events for up to 300 people.
Among other things, having such an exclusive venue next to the tournament is already pretty awesome. Obviously, this shows that the domestic market is getting more and more attention from Porsche. While Porsche is intensifying its sales expansion, it must also further improve the customer experience.
The various projects we experience are in this site. It is roughly divided into five parts, including the 1.4km small track we just mentioned, the simulated ice track, the slippery low-friction loop track, and the linear start acceleration. Multi-functional equipment area and cross-country track.
Of course, we are also fortunate to experience the low-friction loop, which is to experience the control and loss of control under low friction with the 911. Yes, it is drift. The experience is still very cool, but if you want to reach the level of coaches, you can only say that you need to practice a lot.
The indoor part is the first to pass as soon as you enter the gate. There will be three cars that Porsche considers the most heavyweight in the lobby on the first floor. This time we met the combination of GT3 RS, Cayenne, and the originator of Porsche 356. Before you In fact, you can still see a black 918 town hall.
In addition, there are track simulators, coffee bars and souvenir shops, screening rooms and more on the first floor. On the second floor are personalized custom areas, restaurants, and meeting rooms, and on the third floor there is a place where you can overlook the Porsche official member club.
All the rooms are named after the names of the Porsche family, or the names of the Nurburgring and Le Mans events, which is quite affectionate. In addition to a limited display of cars (such as the 997.2 Turbo S, which was limited to 10 units that year), the entire building is also full of various Porsche elements and peripheral products, from car models, racing suits, gloves, cups, stereos, and even conference room chairs All the chairs on the Porsche cars are directly taken down and modified. Together with the electric adjustment function, the buttons are the same as those on the car.
The good news is that you can buy this Porsche chair office chair from the souvenir shop on the first floor. The bad news is that it will sell for more than 70,000. In short, it is a place that makes you want to take everything.
In short, when you become a Porsche owner, this place can make you feel your sense of dignity. But just want to experience it? No problem. If you just come to a meeting to hold a business event, one person is only 550, and you can experience a series of projects such as 911, 718, Cayenne, Panamera, and simulator for 3,500. If you book the venue, it would be more than 100,000 (this sentence is for local tyrants).
Many people thought that although Cayenne had the Porsche logo, it was just a tool to attract local tyrants to make money. But the new Cayenne can be said to have inherited more sports car sports genes like the Porsche 911, and it is more worthy of this colorful shield.
To say that the new Cayenne will change your impression, do you agree? I quite agree.
