The Porsche Cayenne Black Edition models feature the Sport Design package, the exterior package, the exterior mirrors and the Porsche logo, as well as the model designation at the rear, all finished in high-gloss black. The interior is enhanced by an interior package in brushed-black aluminium. The extended Black Edition package exclusively includes Black Edition lettering on the front doors, as well as illuminated door sill guards and a vehicle key set with case also featuring matching lettering.

Porsche has also added the following to the list of standard equipment for both model series:

  • Lane Change Assist

Lots of colour options

Inside you get Comfort Seats in the front (with 14-way electric adjustment and memory function) with the Porsche crest on the headrests, a BOSE Surround Sound System including Dolby Digital, the Storage package and black smooth leather trim.

You might think that the Porsche Cayenne Black Edition models are only available in black, but this is not the case. When configuring your special-edition model, all exterior paints in the Shades category can be selected at no extra charge. For the Cayenne these include Quartzite Grey Metallic, Vanadium Grey Metallic, Dolomite Silver Metallic and Carrara White Metallic.
