Old v New Cayenne

I think it is actually bigger, certainly it has slightly more legroom in the back.
Probably bad camera angle / pictures.
The new design is better, sleeker profile when you see them up close.
Its never going to be the best looking. Great to drive and ok off road.

Don't tell anyone, but the first one was made to be a proper off-roader, this one isn't.
The drive systems (including old gearbox and heavy-duty 4WD mechanicals, low range gearbox and locking diffs) and complex suspension have been jettisoned to save almost 10% weight.
The Cayenne S sheds 180kg even though it adds an additonal 70kg more standard equipment!
A new production process for the doors saves 39kg, ditching the transfer case with its low speed gearing 50+kg. Aluminium chassis components shaves a further 16kg. The optical biased wiring loom is 10kg lighter.
The Cayenne's bodyshell uses "smart steel" for the body structure (variable thickness and welding techniques) with an aluminum bonnet, doors/tailgate.
