The Porsche Cayenne was first introduced in 2002 as the brand’s entry into the SUV market. The first generation (Cayenne I, Type 955/957, 2002–2010) combined Porsche’s sports car heritage with off-road capability and luxury. It featured powerful V6 and V8 engines and quickly became a commercial success.
The second generation (Cayenne II, Type 958, 2010–2017) brought significant improvements: it was lighter, more fuel-efficient, and introduced hybrid technology. It offered updated styling, enhanced performance, and greater luxury features.



Battery Changes:
First generation (2002–2010): Cayenne I models primarily used larger lead-acid batteries (e.g., size 019/020) to support powerful engines and electrical systems. Battery types included high-capacity AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) options for models with higher electrical demands.



Second generation (2010–2017): Cayenne II shifted towards more modern battery technology, continuing to use large capacity batteries but placing greater emphasis on AGM batteries due to the increased use of electronics and, notably, the introduction of hybrid models that required specialized high-voltage battery systems alongside the standard 12V starter batteries.
