are there any new features in 2014 model vs previous years? i have a 2012 Turbo fully loaded and wondering if anything new has come out feature wise (would love night vision!)

 

Nothing major until 2015 when they refresh it, similar to the Panamera line - you'll see some very mild restyling and probably some added technology (and almost surely the V8 going away for the forced induction V6).

 

Here's the difference between '13 and '14

1. New Option Offerings
Lane Departure Warning
The lane departure warning function will expand the range of driver assistance systems available for the Cayenne model line in model year E. Using a camera integrated in the mirror base of the interior rear-view mirror, lane markings on both sides are recognized. The readiness of the system and the identified lane marking are displayed in the TFT display. If a lane departure is imminent, an acoustic warning is issued. This assistance system is active at speeds of 40 mph or higher. When the turn signal is activated during a lane change, the function is temporarily deactivated. The lane departure warning function can be deactivated and activated using a button in the center console.
2. Vehicle Enhancements
A. Optimized liftgate operation
From model year E
B. Sport Exhaust Button
In the future it will be possible to activate the sport exhaust system via a separate button in the center console as in the sports cars and Panamera without simultaneously activating sport mode.
C. Revised Center Console Button arrangement and naming conventions
With the introduction of the separate button for the sport exhaust system and the new lane departure warning driver assistance system, the grouping of function buttons for standard and optional functions on the center console has been revised. The following overview presents the changes in detail:

D. Entry and Drive Ignition Switch
The outer edge of the static ignition switch with Porsche Entry and Drive is now trimmed to match the interior trim pieces and the middle section is finished in black.
3. Exterior Color Overview The range of exterior colors for the Cayenne models is being revised for the model year E. Auburn Metallic will be replaced by the color Mahogany Metallic. The special color Carmine Red was already introduced in model year D.
4. Interior Color Overview The range of interior colors will be increased by adding the two- tone leather interior Black/Luxor Beige and Black/Carrera Red, previously exclusively available only on the Cayenne Turbo S. Start of Production CW22 of 2013
4. Electrical
• New button assignments for function buttons on center console:
- Removal of central locking system button, replaced by Porsche Hill Control
- Merging of the functions rear window heating and optional heated windshield - Replacement of Porsche Hill Control button with the Lane Departure Warning - Replacement of heated windscreen button with sports exhaust system
• Symbol for off-road switch “On/off-road symbol” => “ON ROAD / OFF ROAD”
• New power window button symbols
• Optimized feedback when deactivating the Auto Start Stop function via in-
button LED and TFT notification
Interior
• Enhancement of the rotary light switch (from 12/2013): Chrome rim around the rotary light switch
7. I-options
• New exterior color: Mahogany Metallic
• New interior colors: Black/Luxor Beige and Black/Carrera Red
• Lane departure warning (7Y6)
• Enhancement of the operating element for the Porsche Entry & Drive option • Optimized operation of the powerlift tailgate

 

Fantastic overview. Thank you! I did not know about the Lane Departure feature for '14, nor was I aware of the other changes. thanks.

 

Does anyone know if the license plate lights are in LEDs for the 2014?

 

it will be great if they can make license plate lights in LED as well as mirrors ligts.

 

Mirror puddle lights are in LED when you get the Extended LED Pkg.

 

Which mirror lights are you referring to? The side mirror lights are LED if you opted for the Extended LED Comfort Lighting Package.


Extended LED Comfort Lighting Package
Lighting package that includes exterior and interior LED lights: footwell lighting in front and rear, inside luggage compartment lighting, navigation lighting at rear lid and doors in front and rear, glove compartment lighting, sun visor lighting.

NOTE:
In conjunction with comfort lighting package, additional courtesy lights on the side mirrors will be provided as LED lights.

 

Thanks for the info!

 

>Removal of central locking system button, replaced by Porsche Hill Control<

What is "central locking"? Not drive train I hope. Doors?

 

that was for the locking/unlocking of center differential for offroad use

 

Does that mean the 2014s no longer have that feature? Or did they just move the button?

 

It's the door locking button, they just removed it from the center console so it's only on the doors now.

 

^^ thanks for the correction!

 

Just bought these LED 5W5 replacements for the incandescent license plate bulbs.They work great and no conflict or warning light from the PCM:
