Unspecified changes at a manufacturing level have forced Porsche to pass on additional costs to buyers of its 2011 Cayenne SUV models.

The modest increases range between $500 and $5100 with specification and equipment levels unchanged from those found in last year's range.

"[The price increase resulted] from factory pressure to accommodate changes in production costs [for] Cayenne," Porsche Cars games Australia's marketing boss, Paul Ellis explained to the Carsales Network.

The changes to Cayenne's price sheet does not affect other models in Porsche's MY11 line-up with Boxster, Cayman, 911 and Panamera pricing unchanged.

Cayenne: $104,000 (was $103,500)
Cayenne Diesel: $105,000 (was $104,500)
Cayenne S: $148,700 (was $147,900)
Cayenne S Hybrid: $160,800 (was $159,900)
