Porsche have launch the upgraded second generation Cayenne in India at a mouth watering price of just Rs 59 lakhs Ex-Showroom for the 3.0L V6 diesel model that produces 240bhp. The new Cayenne has taken on everything from the original model and made it better. It is longer, sleeker, sharper and most importantly lighter and more efficient than the older model. All of Porsche’s sales literally come from the Cayenne – 911 power and handling with four wheel drive and raised ground clearance is the perfect recipe for India. 80% of Porsche’s sales in 2009 came from 94 Cayennes sold last year in India. At that price, the Cayenne needs to beat the massive Q7 and the X5 that retail at Rs 55.35 lakhs and 56.50 lakhs (Ex-Delhi) respectively. The Q7 comes with 7 usable seats while the X5 and Cayenne make do with five.
