All Platinum Editions come with a high gloss finish, with the wheel arches finished in the same chosen paint colour.

Exclusive to this limited-run Cayenne are the stainless steel door sills with “Platinum Edition” lettering. Fitted for free is the latest-generation Porsche Communication Management which includes online navigation and Connect Plus module for smartphone pairing.

The Platinum Edition trim can be had for the Cayenne, Cayenne S, Cayenne Diesel, Cayenne Diesel S and Cayenne S E-Hybrid. Prices start from RM698k (that’s for the entry level Cayenne) before road tax and insurance. All purchases come with a 4-Year warranty and free maintenance package.

And oh, it’s pronounced Kei-yen, not Kah-yen. Just like the pepper.
