Images of the upcoming Porsche Cayenne facelift have been leaked online, ahead of its global debut scheduled on April 18th at the Shanghai Auto Show.
The image is essentially a computer-generated version of the SUV displayed on the car's infotainment system. While it doesn't showcase all the details, it does give a glimpse of the changes made to the facelift version.
As seen from the images, the 2024 Porsche Cayenne features a revised front. It gets new headlamp clusters integrated with four LED DRLs inside, a new front grille and larger air intakes. The SUV also comes with a new LED light bar, similar to the brand's all-electric Taycan offering.
Inside, the 2024 Porsche Cayenne gets 3 screens, a 12.6-inch digital instrument cluster, a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment unit and a 10.9-inch front passenger display. The gear selector has now been moved behind the steering wheel, opening up more space on the centre console.

Looks like Porsche is moving away from 911-esque headlights to Taycan-like ones, moving away from the past and towards an electrified future. Would like see how that'll look in person.
Looks like the images are taken from the interior walkthrough below. Like the interior update retaining hard buttons for climate control though the gearshift is now a toggle switch. Not sure about the exterior with the light casing looking like a chop job but hope it looks better in reality.

It appears to be accurate. There was a video showcasing the exterior and driving experience of the car, while the test mule was being driven around.

just curious about the source of these video.
Porsche India is already taking bookings, 1,35 is the starting price. The sales advisor had some images but I didn't look keenly. It will be more digital, but isn't this a facelift based on the current one and not a new model?
Porsche usually switches to next Year around the second Qtr so I guess we are talking only about a refreshed Model.

Yes. This is a refresh and not a brand new model. However it seems this is a very significant update touching almost every aspect and not just a minor cosmetic facelift. Porsche intends to extend the life of this generation by a few more years till the electric ones fully takeover and hence the significant revamp. There were test drives on the production ready models earlier where reviewers spoke of the same.
@Devil, there were test drives earlier with the taped lights focused on the mechanical changes and also the interior design has already been revealed officially last week. Here’s one more interior review in English. Only the full external reveal is pending.

Yup, my point is the review was there two months ago having some details on engine variants. companies usually try to keep these tests private to avoid revealing too much information to competitors and the media.
Nonetheless, it's encouraging to know that Porsche is actively conducting research and development on gasoline engines alongside their development of electric or hybrid powertrains. Many consumers still prefer the performance and driving characteristics of gasoline powered cars, so it makes sense for Porsche to continue to invest in this technology.
Cayenne models have had a common issue with drain clogging in the past, although it's uncertain whether the 2019 and later versions are affected by this. Given the abundance of electronics in modern vehicles, it's hoped that the upcoming models won't encounter similar issues.
