All PHEV models within the Cayenne lineup share a performance-oriented design for their hybrid powertrains, a foundational philosophy established by Porsche with the 918 Spyder super sports car in 2013.The latest hybrid models boast world-class electric range, system power, and charging speed. Depending on the model, a larger high-voltage battery compared to the previous generation increases the all-electric range to 70-78 kilometers in the combined WLTP cycle or 76-90 kilometers in the city cycle. The new 11 kW on-board AC charger (previously 7.2 kW) significantly reduces charging time, allowing the battery to be fully charged in less than two and a half hours at a suitable power source, such as a wall charger or a public AC charging station. A sustainable hybrid strategy optimizes charging and discharge phases in different driving modes, considering environmental and dynamic requirements.
The Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid, a new variant in the model portfolio, extends innovative powertrain options with a system output of 382 kW/519 PS, combining dynamic performance with exceptional comfort and the capability to handle most everyday trips with zero local emissions.
Porsche introduces the most powerful variant of the new Cayenne with the Turbo E-Hybrid, surpassing its predecessor, the Cayenne Turbo S E-Hybrid, with a system output of 544 kW (739 PS). The Turbo E-Hybrid excels in balancing commanding powertrain performance with high efficiency for everyday trips. Its top-of-the-line status is evident in Turbo-specific body features, including an exclusive front-end design, a model-specific exhaust system with two twin tailpipes in brushed stainless steel, and a retractable roof spoiler on the SUV.
The Cayenne Turbo E-Hybrid Coupé with GT package combines elements from the Cayenne Turbo E-Hybrid and the Cayenne Turbo GT. It introduces numerous GT-specific details, showcasing its identity as a GT model. On the technical side, it features model-specific suspension technology, including a 10-millimeter lowering of the body, stiffer anti-roll bars on the front axle, and steering knuckles exclusive to the model. The package also includes weight-reduction measures, shedding over 100 kilograms compared to the Cayenne Turbo E-Hybrid Coupé.
The Cayenne S E-Hybrid and Turbo E-Hybrid models come standard with adaptive air suspension using two-chamber, two-valve technology. Depending on the driving situation and selected mode, it offers outstanding driving comfort or a taut, higher spring rate, providing a broad spectrum between sports car performance and travel comfort. The Cayenne Turbo E-Hybrid is also factory-fitted with Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV), enhancing agility, particularly during cornering.
The Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid and Cayenne Turbo E-Hybrid benefit from numerous new features introduced in the Cayenne model upgrade in early 2023. Alongside the fundamentally revised hybrid system, these include the new cockpit of the Porsche Driver Experience, extended connectivity with native apps in the Porsche Communication Management (PCM) system, a new passenger display, and high-resolution HD Matrix LED headlights.
