The bookings for the third-generation Porsche Cayenne Turbo are now open at dealerships across India, and the pre-booking amount is ₹ 5.0 lakh. The third generation Cayenne Turbo will be priced under ₹ 2 crores and the deliveries will begin in August 2018. The company has stated that the new Cayenne Turbo will reach dealerships in the country in June and it will be joining the standard Cayenne that is also set to be launched later this year.

The third-generation Porsche Cayenne Turbo is the top-end variant and it is the first SUV that gets an adaptive roof spoiler as part of its active aerodynamics. Depending on its position, the spoiler can either improve downforce or increase efficiency. According to Porsche, it can even act as an airbrake. Other highlights include rear-axle steering taken from the 911, Porsche Surface Coated Brakes as standard to shed speed faster, and a new three-chamber air suspension with active shock absorber system & active roll stabilisation. These systems help to achieve better ride quality while enhancing safety. It even gets five-programmed driver and chassis modes to tackle the rough stuff, too.
