About the Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid
The Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid redefines what an SUV can be. It’s powerful. Capable. Luxurious. Most importantly, though, it’s efficient. Its turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 engine, combined with a hybrid electric power system, produces the performance you’d expect from a Porsche with efficiency you’ve likely never experienced in an SUV before. A 25.9 kWh lithium-ion battery pack provides electric-only driving without sacrificing the incredible performance available from a combined 463 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque. Of course, the technology doesn’t stop there – a customizable heads-up display provides key info to the driver without drawing attention away from the road ahead.
What The Critics Say
“While making anything that weighs more than two tons move gracefully is challenging, the engineers in Stuttgart were successful with the Cayenne.” — Car & Driver
“It was a pleasure to wring out in the Santa Monica Mountains, with the electric motor ever ready to provide a jolt of right-now torque as the boosted six spools into action with a not-unforgettable engine and exhaust note. The overall experience driving the S wasn’t so much better that it would outweigh the E-Hybrid’s ample electric range and lower price.” — Autoblog
What’s New for 2024
The Cayenne E-Hybrid received a total redesign for 2024. The exterior design has been changed all over, but is still easily recognizable as a Cayenne. The interior has received more noticeable changes. For starters, there is a second infotainment touchscreen available for the passenger side. There is more storage space in the center console too, thanks to the gear selector being moved to the dash. And next to that is a new steering wheel, which comes from the 911. Under the hood, there is more horsepower, up to 463. The onboard charger has gotten faster, and the battery has gotten bigger, so you get more all-electric range with less charging time.
Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid Features
Performance
The sophisticated powertrain of the Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid provides plenty of power and incredible efficiency – two attributes once thought incompatible. A 3.0-liter turbo V6, combined with an electric motor and a 25.9 kWh lithium-ion battery pack, produces 463 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque, while providing all-electric driving up to 85 mph. The Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid can reach 60 miles per hour in just 4.6 seconds en route to a top speed of 158 miles per hour. Of course, there’s more to high performance than just raw power. The Tiptronic S transmission provides quick shifts without being jarring or uncomfortable under everyday use. Porsche Traction Management (PTM) improves driving dynamics under hard cornering, while the Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) balances impeccable handling with compliant road manners.
Interior
Acid Green is an eye-catching accent color that’s unique to electrified Porsche models. On the Cayenne E-Hybrid, it materializes as special badging, as well as the color of the brake calipers; inside, the theme is continued with Acid Green needles on the analog gauges, as well as on various digital displays that monitor performance. The Cayenne E-Hybrid features a customizable, full-color heads-up display that projects key information onto the windshield in your line of sight, keeping you informed without taking your eyes off the road. The capacitive touch buttons on the center console provide a clean look while retaining all of the functions necessary for operating important vehicle functions.
Battery Charging & Range
Underneath the rear cargo area is a 25.9 kWh battery pack that powers the electric motor in the Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid. This battery pack allows the Cayenne E-Hybrid to drive on pure electric power or a mix of gasoline and electric. With a 230 volt, 32 amp connection and the optional 11 kW onboard charger, a fully depleted battery can be recharged in just 2.5 hours. You can monitor the progress of your charge with the onboard Porsche Communication Management (PCM) system, or via your smartphone with the Porsche Connect app. Finally, efficiency, performance, and practicality can live in perfect harmony.
