Funny enough - I found a check for $48k in this compartment. Turns out my car was previously owned by some B-list celebrities.

Here's a link to my post about a high quality umbrella that fits these storage compartments perfectly without rattling: https://rennlist.com/forums/cayenne-...l#post19029742

I wish there were similar compartments under the rear seats.

Thanks, I am looking to get these for a friend and hence why I was looking to confirm if compartments are there

Are the 18 way seats an option and the 14-way standard? Hoping Thomas can confirm they are on 14-way if that is standard.

So here are some pictures (taken with some difficulty) of these hidden compartments:



Somehow, I remember somebody saying that space was for a fire extinguisher?

Regardless of model, new Cayennes do not have this storage compartments under the front seats. Cost savings.

Yet another .2 interior cheapening measure.

Fewer square inches of in-color leather
no seat storage compartment
no large bolsters for rear seats when Sport Seats are chosen
matte black vs bright finish seat control buttons
reduced availability of club leather
cheapened interior door release levers

Do .2 seats have the “magazine” pocket in the front seat back panel?

Small elastic cord pockets of the type I've strongly disliked in other vehicles we've had.
