The front lights and tail lights play an important role in styling the appearance of the new Cayenne models and add to the new, dynamic and sporty exterior design.

A battery charge management system (integrated in the vehicle electrical system control unit) is used to ensure optimized battery charging. Increasing the charge voltage at low temperatures not only improves battery recharging in the winter but also ensures better overload protection in the summer. These measures eliminate the need for the auxiliary battery, which had been available up to now as an option. Also, the capacity loss of the battery is compensated for even more quickly after starting the vehicle.

This section will describe the design and technical functions of the enhanced electrical systems in the new Cayenne models.

Lighting System

The new front lights on all new Cayenne models have a flatter basic shape, which makes all new Cayenne models look wider. The fact that the mid-point of the outer light unit for the headlights has been shifted further out also adds to this look.

The direction indicator and marker light are positioned separately in bar-shaped light units at the edge of the outer air intakes. They are arranged vertically on the Cayenne and Cayenne S, and horizontally on the Cayenne Turbo. The arrangement of the lights for the top model is based on the design used on the current 911 Turbo. As a result, the new Cayenne Turbo is easily recognizable, even at night. The fog lights are round and are located low down and at the far outer sides of the front end in accordance with their intended function. These round off the sporty look of the new Cayenne models and their low position ensures optimal illumination of the road in conditions of poor visibility.

The tail lights have also been redesigned with LED technology used for the rear and brake lights. This is not just another optical highlight of the new Cayenne models, but actively contributes to improving safety. In addition to the white backup lights, the shape of the rear lights has also been adapted to suit the new rear end design.
