Panoramic Roof System

Panoramic Roof System

Measuring approx. 1.4 m2, the Panoramic Roof System is almost four times bigger than the slide/tilt roof system and is available at an extra charge. Even when closed, the roof system offers an impressive panoramic view and enhances the feeling of space for the occupants. The glass surface extends across the rear seats.

The Panoramic Roof System on the new Cayenne consists of two glass panes, where the front pane slides over the rear pane to reveal an opening of 0.44 m2 and create a unique feeling of space.







All elements crucial to installation space such as the guide rails and the drive have been optimized so that the head room in the passenger compartment is not restricted. The system is operated in the same way as the electric slide/tilt roof, via a switch in the roof console that is also used to control the opening positions. To protect against strong sunlight, the Panoramic Roof System incorporates heat-insulating glass and a roll-up sunblind that is also operated electrically using a button in the roof console. When the Panoramic Roof System is opened, the integral wind deflector is raised automatically to help reduce the noise levels.

When the new Panoramic Roof System was developed, great emphasis was placed on maintaining the rigidity of the body. An additional reinforcement frame maintains dynamic driving characteristics at a high level compared to vehicles without the Panoramic Roof System. The redesigned system is more than 28 lbs (13 kg) lighter than the previous system.
