The arguments for the Cayenne E-Hybrid could come down to HOV lane access, as one colleague pointed out, or price. Even with the panoramic sunroof standard on the Coupe, it felt more cocooned than the E-Hybrid, which had 21-inch aero wheels instead of the 22-inch RS wheels on the Cayenne S. The V-8 Coupe went in and out of turns with more grace and stability, and while cruising, it felt quieter. The E-Hybrid felt heavier, chunkier, and the extra 474 pounds over the Cayenne S could be felt in turns, in spite of the standard adaptive dampers. The cut into cargo space-3.2 cubic feet behind the rear seats-wasn’t that significant either.īoth models were equipped with the optional air suspension and sport exhaust system the former made more sense for the E-Hybrid. Its tucked tail better mirrors the Taycan and, to a lesser degree, the 911. The difference in the Coupe and SUV body styles is negligible at 65 pounds in favor of the SUV, but by my eye the Coupe better looks the Porsche part. I tested the Cayenne S Coupe in the morning and the Cayenne E-Hybrid SUV in the afternoon. There are no known plans for the return of the 670-hp Turbo S E-Hybrid.Ģ024 Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid Cayenne S Coupe or E-Hybrid SUV?

It sheds its 5,348-pound curb weight seemingly without effort, yet from a stop it doesn’t have the same front lift as the Cayenne S that hits 60 mph in 4.4 seconds with the Sport Plus pack. This results in a 0-60 mph time that improves by a tick, from 4.7 to 4.6 seconds, by Porsche’s measures. The more powerful motor hits harder and quicker, Porsche spokesperson Calvin Kim explained. As a whole, output increases from 455 hp to 463 hp but torque drops from 516 lb-ft to 479 lb-ft. The E-Hybrid marries an updated 3.0-liter turbo-6 with a new but similarly sized electric motor producing 174 hp and 339 lb-ft of torque compared to 134 hp and 295 lb-ft in the predecessor. It now has an 11-kw onboard charger that lowers the charge time of the larger battery to 2.5 hours the outgoing model had a 7.2-kw charger and a charge time of about three hours. Instead of dramatic changes, the Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid continues to take incremental steps since it was first launched in 2011. and into southern California-where Porsches seem as numerous as Teslas-it seemed as if 20 miles may be the new floor, with 30 miles of range as the possible ceiling. It will increase the electric range beyond the 15 miles of its predecessor, but Porsche could not certify by how much at press time. For 2024, Porsche swaps in a 25.9-kwh battery pack in place of the former 17.9-kwh unit in the cargo floor.
