Whats New for the 2004 Porsche Cayenne?
The 2004 Porsche Cayenne lineup expands this year with the addition of an entry-level model powered by a 247-horsepower, 3.2-liter V6 engine sourced from Volkswagen and massaged by Porsche. The first V6-powered vehicle in the company’s history, this model will be known simply as the Cayenne, joining the Cayenne S and Cayenne Turbo that debuted in 2003. Visual differences for the new Cayenne are minor; it has black-painted brake calipers and 10-spoke alloy wheels. A manually interactive Tiptronic six-speed transmission drives power to all four wheels, accelerating the new Cayenne to 60 mph in about 9.5 seconds. Prices start just south of $43,000, and that includes a leather interior, side curtain airbags, and Porsche Stability Management (PSM). Notable options include a navigation system, an active suspension management system, wheels and tires as large as 19 inches, front and rear parking assistants, bi-Xenon headlights, and a tire pressure monitor.
