Porsche new Cayenne technology analysis

If you ask what is a "luxury car," the definition of each person may be different, but I believe there is one thing that can surely reach a consensus. That is "expensive." If a car with more than a hundred thousand cars dares to be a self-promoted car, I am afraid it will not be able to escape the drowning of saliva. And the Porsche Cayenne we are going to talk about today, I would call it a luxury car should not be controversial. Although its price has not yet been determined, but from the current price of car sales and the newly introduced only Audi A8L and Mercedes-Benz S-class luxury cars equipped with the door to automatically pick up the function, the final pricing should also belong to "Hao" Word generation children. In the face of this “Hao” gate, it is worth noting that the value of a million dollars, in addition to luxury interiors, fine workmanship, high tariffs, what factors can explain the price? Today, I would like to change the angle with everyone, from the technical level hidden behind the gorgeous appearance, to analyze exactly where the "ho".

Increase LED headlight configuration

Anyone who loves to watch martial arts novels must be familiar with the passages in which martial arts masters are described. Those excelled in the arts have already opened up the Rendu Second Pulse, and internal forces have been able to walk smoothly downstream. The dark nights, the secretive forests, and the two cold lights that emerged from the eyes were chilling. Even meticulously disguised, the distinctive eyes still betrayed them. The same holds true for luxury cars. Even if you don't know its brand, you can't even see the outlines. But the light in the distance is enough to demonstrate the characteristics of its giants.

The headlights of the new Cayenne add LED headlamps to the configuration of the xenon headlights of the original model. Compared to xenon headlamps, the components of the LED headlights are smaller and easier to arrange and design. At the same time, its response is faster and can be driven with a low voltage DC power supply (the xenon headlights need a booster device), and the adaptability to the use environment is also better. The LED headlights are standard on the Cayenne Turbo in the new Cayenne models; the lower-priced Cayenne S comes standard with bi-xenon headlamps and is supplemented with halogen-assisted high-beam headlamps.

Although the Cayenne S model with bi-xenon headlights is not as technically as the LED headlights, you should not forget that this is Porsche, so its value is not limited to the surface. In addition to halogen-assisted high-beam headlights for enhanced lighting, the Cayenne S can also be equipped with PDLS (Porsche Dynamic Lighting System), which adjusts the light distribution according to the speed of the vehicle. In the event of a bend, the vehicle also rotates according to the steering angle and speed. The lighting angle matches the lighting area with the actual driving route. Among them, the dynamic light group in the headlights is the main component that realizes the on-speed lighting, and the static light group will activate the auxiliary headlights to enhance the lighting brightness. In this way, in the middle of the night, the vehicles facing each other, even if they do not see the car, will be awakened by two beams of light, knowing that an uninvited guest is coming.

The Cayenne Turbo with LED headlights features an even more powerful upgraded version of PDLS. In addition to all the previously mentioned features, the upgraded PDLS also incorporates two other unique skills. First of all, the high beam headlights will start automatically when the vehicle speed reaches about 65km/h, which can reduce the danger caused by forgetting to turn on the high beam, but at the same time, this function may cause safety hazards for the opposite and forward vehicles. The upgraded version of PDLS can detect the incoming vehicle and front vehicle lights, and adjust the beam intensity and light path based on the detection results. In addition, the LED headlights equipped with this system also optimize the light source so that the LED headlights have similar colors and low light scattering as daylight to alleviate driver's eye fatigue caused by light.

The newly designed full-LED taillights in the rear of the vehicle have a faster response speed. In emergency braking, the four LED light strips of the brake lights will constantly change the lighting intensity to prompt rapid changes in the rear vehicle's own running speed.

Body structure design

In addition to watching the torch, there is another common feature in the masterpieces of the martial arts novels, which is that natural bone qualifications are often different from ordinary people. This feature makes it more effective when it comes to practicing martial arts. It takes only a short time to reach the average person’s difficulty. the height of. For the new Cayenne, the difference in this kind of bone naturally refers to the body.

Due to limited data, we can't get accurate information on the body of the new Cayenne. However, in terms of changing models, substantial changes to the body structure are still rare, so we can roughly understand the current body model of the car.

3.6T engine replaces original 4.8L self-priming engine

As the saying goes, "Exercising bones and bones inside, practicing a breath." Light has a strong physique, muscular men often only become second-rate characters in the martial arts drama, and first-class masters always rely on Dantian's strength to open up the stele, which is often called For internal forces. For cars, the pros and cons of the power system are like the depth of internal forces. Even if the appearance is beautiful and how strong the body is, it will not be a good car. After all, the basic function of the car is to drive forward. .

engine

The source of power for the vehicle to move forward is from the engine, which is also called the “heart” of a car. The new Cayenne engine is equipped with 3.0T, 3.6T, and 4.8T versions. The current Cayenne S's 4.8L engine was replaced by 3.6T, so Cayenne will also be fully into the era of supercharge.

The 3.6T twin-turbocharged engine is an addition to the new Cayenne. It replaces the 4.8-liter naturally aspirated engine of the current Cayenne S. This engine has a maximum output of 420 psi (309 kW) and a maximum output of 550 N·m. Torque, which is 35N·m higher than the 4.8L naturally aspirated engine, and maximum torque output when the engine speed reaches 1350rpm.

Transmission

In the gearbox, the new Cayenne has not changed, still using the cash models of the Aisin 8-speed automatic transmission, and the new Cayenne is equipped with a series of automatic engine start and stop functions, including automatic start and stop functions of hybrid vehicles by the transmission The addition of Bosch (BOSCH) coaxial motors between the engines enables the vehicle to be stopped while the vehicle is waiting, to reduce vehicle fuel consumption and pollutant emissions, while the rest of the models are refitted on the powertrain housing. High power starter motor. There are a wide range of models currently using this technology on the market.

Hybrid power system

With the gradual heating up of the hybrid vehicle market, Porsche has recently introduced the Panamera S E-Hybrid plug-in hybrid and Porsche 918 super sports car in recent years. As the Cayenne, the top-selling Porsche family, certainly will not be This field has stalled and the new Cayenne S E-Hybrid is the third plug-in hybrid after Porsche 918 Porsche, and Porsche's first plug-in hybrid SUV models. However, Porsche is currently technically affiliated with Volkswagen and Audi, and whether the new Cayenne S E-Hybrid is unique to Porsche is not known.

Chassis control system

Agility and solidity are equally essential for martial arts masters or premium models. Imagine if the two masters drew swords and one of them squatted and fell to the ground, I am afraid there would be no chance of standing up again. For high-end models that pay attention to quality, the body roll is serious during cornering, and the phenomenon of wheel slippage is obvious. I am afraid that the end of life is not far behind.

As far as Cayenne's models are concerned, if I would like to comment on features such as ESP and ABS, I am afraid that many people must sneak up the streets. Because do not say it is worth millions, even if some of the more than 100,000 yuan models, these systems are not difficult to see, so these features for the Cayenne is at best a basic configuration to ensure quality. The systems described below are the essence of its chassis.
