Cayenne 2nd Gen
(2011–2018)Performance— 2 options
Full Sport Chrono Package with driving mode selector and enhanced Sport Plus mode on the 92A and 9YA Cayenne. Standard on Turbo GT and GTS variants. Adds meaningful driving character and dynamic mode variability to what is otherwise a luxury SUV driving experience. Note: the 9PA (955/957) used the earlier 639 code, rated MEDIUM confidence — not included here.
Switchable sports exhaust on 92A and 9YA Cayenne models. Transforms the exhaust note in open mode while remaining subdued in normal driving. A sought-after option for buyers who want a more involving acoustic experience from their SUV.
Chassis— 5 options
Pneumatic air suspension with self-levelling, multiple height settings (including off-road mode), and PASM adaptive dampers. Standard on Turbo models — will not appear on Turbo build sheets. Optional on base and S variants. Transforms the Cayenne's on-road composure and adds genuine off-road capability. A highly recommended option for buyers using the car in mixed conditions.
Factory ceramic brakes across all Cayenne generations. On a heavier SUV, the reduced unsprung weight and fade resistance are particularly beneficial for towing or alpine driving. The same high replacement costs apply as on the sports car range — inspect carefully before purchase.
Steel spring suspension with PASM electronically controlled adaptive dampers on the 92A Cayenne. The more affordable alternative to the air suspension system. On 92A only — the 9YA typically uses air suspension with PASM as the primary adaptive setup.
Active hydraulic anti-roll system on 9PA and 92A Cayenne models, coded 0AW. Dramatically reduces body roll under cornering while maintaining ride quality on straight roads. Particularly effective on a vehicle with the Cayenne's high centre of gravity. Note: the 9YA uses a revised system likely coded differently — that code is not confirmed HIGH confidence from available sources.
Electronically controlled rear differential on the 92A Cayenne, providing active torque vectoring for improved cornering dynamics. A meaningful dynamic upgrade on a vehicle where body weight and centre of gravity make corner balance particularly important.
Exterior— 3 options
Factory panoramic glass roof system across Cayenne generations. A highly popular option on the UK used market, significantly improving the light and airiness of the cabin. A common consumer expectation on premium SUVs.
Factory custom paint outside the standard palette. PTS Cayennes are less common than on the sports car range but can carry a meaningful premium for desirable colours.
SportDesign exterior package with revised front and rear aprons and side skirts, lowering the visual stance of the 92A Cayenne. A popular visual upgrade that brings the appearance closer to the GTS/Turbo variants.
Interior— 5 options
18-way electrically adjustable adaptive sports seats — the highest-spec seating option, standard on the GTS. Provides the most lateral support and adjustment range. Includes automatic side bolster adjustment linked to driving mode.
14-way power-adjustable front seats with memory positions. A step up in adjustment range and convenience over the standard 8-way option.
Factory carbon-fibre interior trim package. A popular upgrade on performance-biased Cayenne builds.
Factory two-colour contrasting leather interior scheme. A popular option on Cayenne builds, adding a bespoke feel to the otherwise large cabin.
8-way power-adjustable front seats. The baseline power seat option on 92A and 9YA Cayenne. Absence of any power adjustment is unusual on this class of vehicle.
Technology— 2 options
Bose surround sound system. A meaningful audio upgrade for a vehicle where passengers spend significant time. Note the code is 9VL (alphanumeric) on 92A and 9YA Cayenne.
Radar-based adaptive cruise control. Highly valued on a vehicle frequently used for motorway journeys with passengers. Essentially an expected feature on UK-market premium SUVs.
Option availability varies by variant and model year. SA codes are factory order codes — verify against a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity (COA). Listing counts update in real time.
