Porsche has just launched the exclusive Black Edition variants of its popular Cayenne SUV and Cayenne Coupe in India, sporting a darker, more distinct aesthetic and a premium price tag.
Steep Price, Same Power
The new Porsche Cayenne Black Edition kicks off at Rs 1.8 crore, while its sportier sibling, the Cayenne Coupe Black Edition, is priced at Rs 1.87 crore. These special editions command a significant premium, costing about Rs 31 lakh to Rs 32 lakh more than their standard counterparts, which are priced at Rs 1.49 crore and Rs 1.55 crore respectively.
Under the hood, both Black Edition models retain the powerful heart of the standard versions. They are equipped with a 3.0-litre V6 turbo-petrol engine, delivering a robust 353hp and 500Nm of torque. This impressive power is channeled through an efficient 8-speed torque converter automatic gearbox, ensuring a smooth yet exhilarating drive.
Exclusive Exterior Touches
As the name suggests, the Black Editions embrace a dark and sophisticated theme on the outside. You’ll notice blacked-out elements across the vehicle, including the headlights, outside rearview mirrors, badges, and side window trim. This cohesive design gives the SUVs a striking presence on the road.
A major highlight is the addition of new 21-inch RS Spyder alloy wheels, which perfectly complement the overall dark theme. The exhaust pipes also get a unique dark bronze finish, adding to the exclusivity. Even the LED puddle lamps come standard, projecting a subtle glow as you enter or exit the vehicle.
While named “Black Edition,” Porsche surprisingly offers these models in a range of other standard exterior colors, including White, Carrara White Metallic, Dolomite Silver Metallic, Quartzite Grey Metallic, Carmine Red, and Cashmere Beige Metallic, alongside the signature Chromite Black Metallic. For those seeking even more personalization, optional colors start at Rs 7.30 lakh, with choices from Porsche’s Exclusive Manufaktur division beginning at a hefty Rs 20.13 lakh.
Sophisticated Black Interiors
Step inside, and the all-black theme continues, creating a luxurious and immersive cabin experience. Both the Cayenne and Cayenne Coupe Black Editions feature premium black leather upholstery paired with elegant black brushed aluminum elements. The illuminated door sills further enhance the sense of arrival.
Comfort and convenience remain paramount, with features shared directly from the standard Cayenne and Cayenne Coupe models. These include 14-way power-adjustable front seats, a panoramic sunroof for an airy feel, and a high-fidelity 710W, 14-speaker Bose audio system to elevate your driving soundtrack.
