The company has launched the third generation of Cayenne in India. The Turbo variant of the SUV was launched earlier and now the automaker has added 2 more trims to the Cayenne line-up – Standard and E-Hybrid.

The SUV now comes with the Porsche Dynamic Light System (PLDS). The all-LED headlamps, air intakes and the grille have all grown in size. On the rear, the connected tail-lights give the SUV a wider appeal.
