Porsche has a couple of new SUVs coming. One of them apparently is . The second, no surprise, is a new Cayenne. While Porsche hasn’t released many details on the new 2024 Cayenne, the automaker did give Jalopnik a sneak peek at the updated luxury SUV’s new interior. One word sums it up: Screens.

Porsche has stuck with a largely familiar layout for the new Cayenne’s interior. At first glance, you might think nothing has really changed. But there are a few big updates, and the enormous swath of screens is the most obvious.

The new 2024 Cayenne will have nearly wall-to-wall screensacross the dashboard. It starts with the driver: Gone is the old mixed-medium layout, where a physical tachometer was flanked by digital readouts mimicking analog gauges. For the new Cayenne, the driver gets a 12.65-inch curved LCD display behind the wheel. The instrument cluster is reconfigurable with seven different driver display modes that can be customized to display features like night vision, navigation and driver assistance systems. Above that is a head-up display that has five different configurations.

In a surprising move, the center-stack display is a bit smaller than the one the driver has. The high-resolution infotainment screen measures 12.3 inches, and unlike other luxury SUVs, the landscape-oriented display doesn’t reach up beyond the top side of the dash. This display largely functions as before, allowing the driver to control everything from vehicle drive modes to navigation controls to audio settings.

On the passenger side is a feature that’s all-new on the interior of the Cayenne. Porsche threw a 10.9-inch touchscreen on the dash for the shotgun passenger. Porsche says this screens can be used as an aid to the driver. Think of it as making the passenger into a new-age navigator; the passenger can control the car’s GPS so the driver can focus on driving, or change stereo settings or media sources.

This display is not just about business, though. Porsche has partnered with Screenhits TV to provide in-car streaming service, letting you watch TV shows or movies on the 2024 Cayenne’s dashboard — but only when the vehicle is parked. Equally important, the passenger-side screen is masked so that it can’t be seen from the driver’s point of view, minimizing distractions.

Other details in the Cayenne interior are what you would expect from Porsche. There’s a new steering wheel lifted directly from the 911, with a rotary selector for drive modes. The transmission gear selector is now a toggle switch, as seen on the 911, but it rides on the dashboard to the right of the instrument display.

Where you’d normally find a gear shift on the console, there’s a row of metallic toggle switches for HVAC controls, flanked by touch-sensitive icons with haptic feedback. There’s also fast charging USB-C ports in the console, as well as a cooled wireless phone charger.

Porsche won’t show us the full 2024 Cayenne until later this year; that’s when we can expect more details on pricing and specs.

GR Yaris Takes On Celica GT-Four To Show Off Just How Much Quicker It Is
There hasn’t been a Toyota quite like the new since the old Celica GT-Four ST205 of the mid-’90s. It was only a matter of time before someone staged a face-off between the company’s two most recent homologation special rally monsters, and Fifth Gear has risen to the occasion. In...

Legendary 1970 Dodge Challenger 426 Street Racer Known As 'The Black Ghost' Entered Into The Library Of Congress
Around here, we think cars are pretty important. It’s kind of surprising to learn that cars weren’t really entered into the Library of Congress until the Historic Vehicle Association created the in conjunction with the U.S. Department of the Interior in 2013. I mean, what kind of crap were...

What Car Do You Want To Get Out Of The Stellantis Merger?
These mergers often feel like big steps toward a totally homogenized car business where badge engineering and strict bean-counting lead us to our inevitable future — 23,000 robots stamping out one model of electric crossover in 7 different colors. But, between now and then, maybe something fun happens. After...

Blip: Holy Crap It's 2021
Huh. I guess all this “progression of time” talk wasn’t just some goofy marketing gimmick to sell calendars with kittens or half-dressed CPAs on it. It’s 2021, the most currently annual year, ever! In it’s honor, here’s a car from 100 years ago, a 1921 Bour Davis, of the...

Dealers Make Even Less Sense In An Electric Car World
The Chrysler brand might not be long for this world, Tesla is set for even bigger stock market gains, and dealers. All that and more in for January 4, 2021. No one really has much use for dealerships: not consumers, because dealers overcharge for just about everything; not automakers,...
