We purchased a 2019 Cayenne for my wife, and got the InnoDrive option. I would recommend it if you drive long distances. You can turn it off when you don't want it, but having it on a long trip (2+ hours) really makes the drive more enjoyable, especially if there are a lot of turns. We take the Cayenne up to Lake Tahoe frequently. It's a boring drive, but there are a lot of back and forth turns on the freeway; the car does a lot of that work for you, and just just don't feel like you drove for two hours after you arrive. Personally, I would highly recommend getting it.
Thank you! We go to Tahoe often so this is perfect!

Passenger display worth it? Or just a gimmik? Saves me $2K. Yes, I know, I know....only $2K but things add up.
If you're trading passenger display against other options, I don't have a recommendation, but I wouldn't call it a gimmick. For example it's great for navigation when you and your passengers aren't sure exactly where you want to go. I set off on a weekend drive with friends, and along the way the front passenger figured out destinations and charging stops without distracting the driver.

One reason I like the passenger display is that it allows my wife to enter destination info even while I shift the car into reverse. Also, it allows the passenger to comfortably use either their right or left hand while trying to use the clunky, non-intuitive navigation system.

Team Taycan,

I can get ACC plus LCA and forgoe passenger display. If I give up Innovo drive and LKA , I save $4k.

But in my mind, LKA seems important and Inno Drive seems cool.

Lots to digest here. In many ways, after writing this, I need to just spend the $4K and get it all versus regret later.
Its a gimmick but I like it. I ordered it and ,y son sets music and stuff while I drive. So not a necessity but a cool gimmick. :)

I think the passenger display is a cool option to have. My wife thought it was sensory overload and really didn't want it at all. So we went without it. I can't really disagree with her on that point. We have 3 pretty large displays between driver & center console. I am a tech nerd though so I would of likely gotten it if my wife wasn't strongly against it.

Thanks Pete. This sounds very much like the conversation I was having at my house. My wife really thought it was unneeded even though it would only cost an additional $700 given the specs that had been added. And while it has a cool factor to it, I suppose I can use the $700 in other place.

Thanks

Agree. Porsche had extra space in the dash to fill and knew some of us would have extra cash to spend. Car is too small for this to be a need or a true benefit. However the Porsche brand isn’t built off of need, it’s built off of desire. If you want it, get it.
Perhaps they should offer an armored hidden safe option where the passenger display is, for those who have even more cash and want to carry it in the car with them. :cool:
