Notes
- The code '958' (commonly used for this generation) does not appear in the sources cited, so it is not recorded; English Wikipedia uses 'Type 92A' and Porsche uses 'E2'.
- Porsche's 24 July 2014 release calls the facelifted car 'the new generation of the Cayenne'; English Wikipedia and Porsche's later retrospectives treat it as a facelift of the second generation, which is how it is recorded.
- Porsche says 535,903 E2 cars were delivered between 2010 and 2017. Porsche's 2022 retrospective says E1 and E2 were built in Leipzig 'and later also in Osnabrück'; English Wikipedia limits Osnabrück to 2015–2017 for the E2.
- English Wikipedia's E2 infobox also lists a '5-door coupe crossover SUV' body style. This is not supported elsewhere (the Coupé arrived in 2019 with the third generation), so it is not recorded.
- Model years 2011–2018 are given without a market (English Wikipedia).
