2011 Porsche Cayenne Diesel Spied Winter Testing "Spy photographers in Sweden captured a new set of pictures featuring the next-generation Porsche Cayenne. The auto paparazzi swarmed when the SUV pulled into a fuel station where the prototype was filled with diesel.
If that is the case, the spied SUV likely uses a 3.0-liter TDI V6 from Volkswagen that produces up to 240 PS (177 kW / 236 hp). One thing has been made clear: the next-gen Cayenne looks very much like the photo posted to Porsche's German website, as suspected.
The new Cayenne will be sold in both conventional and hybrid models, with a total of five different power outputs available. The Cayenne hybrid is expected to use an Audi 3.0-liter supercharged V6 producing about 333 PS (245 kW / 328 hp), and a 46 PS (34 kW / 45.5 hp) electric motor. This makes the SUV an upmarket version of the VW Touareg Hybrid, which could become Porsche's most fuel efficient vehicle ever. Other engines will likely include the a turbocharged 500 PS (368 kW / 493 hp) 4.8-liter V8, a naturally-aspirated 405 PS (298 kW / 399 hp) version of the same engine, a 3.6-liter V6 producing 290 PS (213 kW / 286 hp), and the diesel model mentioned earlier.
The 2011 Porsche Cayenne is expected to debut on the web this week, and in person at next week's Geneva Motor Show."

Agreed, current gen regular Cayennes are also very soft and cushy looking. In Turbo or GTS trim they start to look much better.

Sign me up for an S or GTS model as long as they come out reliable. I really liked my last Cayenne S. In the end a few of the electronic gremlins made me tradeit in once the warranty was going to be up. GREAT car 95% of the time though.

Porsche Cayenne 2011
All engines in the Porsche Cayenne 2011 will include Porsche’s new direct-injection technology, and some could even be matched to the automaker’s new dual-clutch gearbox. Expect to see 0-60 mph times of less than five seconds for top end models and top speeds in excess of 180 mph.
