The SUV also gets bi-xenon headlights with Porsche Dynamic Lighting System. On the inside, Platinum Edition door sills are standard on all doors along with leather seats embossed with Porsche logo. Additionally the Platinum Edition gets a 7-inch touchscreen that supports GPS navigation and Airplay, Bose stereo system and a new analogue clock integrated in the dashboard over the alcantara centre console.

The comprehensive range of standard equipment and eye-catching details makes this premium model a truly attractive offering for our enthusiasts.”

The Platinum Edition petrol variant is powered by a 3.6-litre engine that churns out 295bhp and 400Nm while the diesel is powered by a 3-litre unit that develops 241bhp and 550Nm of torque.
