Default New Colors and Option Choices on Cayenne Configurator

Assistance Package and Model designation on doors.

I am glad they added Dolomite Silver. Is this a new porsche color ?

Dolomite replaced Rhodium, which was discontinued several months ago. It has been out on the Panamera for a while, is available on the new Macan, and now is being added to the Cayenne.

I have only seen it once in person, briefly at a red light on a new Macan a couple of weeks ago. It looks to be very similar to Rhodium in that it seems to have a blueish hue. I was disappointed to see that despite the fact that my 911 is Rhodium. I want Porsche to come out with a pure silver without any funky blue/brown/lavender hues.

I would love to see someone post pics of Rhodium and Dolomite side by side.

Yeah this is the new MY2020 configurator. Base prices increased and some option prices changed as well.

I wish Porsche would bring GT Silver as an option on the Cayenne! I wanted to love Dolomite but it is just too blueish / light in color for me personally.

Also, Biscay Blue now indicates it will be phased out in April 2020 (to be replaced with a new blue I suspect).

If it's 2020 configurator, it interesting that they did not put on the more modern parking tech with self-parking, curb warning around wheels and trailer back-up assist. I was waiting for it initially but then gave up once they mentioned it was delayed until 2020 model year. Looks like it may be delayed even longer or canceled altogether. It's strange since other cars (non-porsche) have such systems already and they all use same tech vendors for it (Bosh was supposed to supply it to Porsche).

Interesting news about Biscay - I guess mine will be rare. It's a pretty fun color - like quartzite gray under clouds and almost mercury blue under sun. I did not want it initially and tried to convince my wife to get white or silver, but I'm happy we ended up with Biscay.

Yes, I agree. What are they waiting for? Disappointing.

Given what they charge for "any" wheel upgrade, you would think that radar would be high-priority, right?!

Any idea why biscay blue is being phased out? i would have thought they would get rid of unpopular colours when streamlining options - is BB proving unpopular & hence impact on re-sale values?

I love my biscay blue turbo. Something completely different. My personal favorite color is GT silver. I had that on my 991 turbo. Wish they would make it available on the SUVs.

Too bold for me. However, I would have done the new silver.

Not seeing where the Biscay Blue is being discontinued at least not on the cinfigurator. Is that information from the dealer?
