The second Cayenne, unveiled at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show, kept the first generation’s off-road ability while dropping its low-range transfer case and shedding around 250 kg through greater use of aluminium and magnesium.[1] Model-year 2013-2016 diesel Cayennes built on this platform were among the cars implicated in the Volkswagen Group diesel emissions scandal.
Three trims are recorded here: the entry VR6 petrol, the V6 turbodiesel, and the twin-turbocharged V8 Cayenne Turbo. The S E-Hybrid plug-in variant introduced at the 2014 facelift is pictured but not recorded as a separate trim, since the source does not give it a full power/torque/CO2 figure set comparable to the other three. Kerb weight is recorded only at generation level: the article publishes a 2,085-2,215 kg range across the whole line rather than a figure for any one trim.
