2024 Porsche Cayenne e-Hybrid review – the ultimate family SUV, for right now anyway..

Porsche has long been a purveyor of hybrid technology as a bridge between petrol and full BEV powertrains, and until we're all forced to go pure electric Steve Sutcliffe thinks that a plug-in Porsche might just be the perfect intermediate step before full electrification. Do you agree?

Best engine for Cayenne was 4.2L V8 diesel. Awsome sound, great torque, incredible range and therefore quite low fuel consumption! I traveled 350 km at 184 km/h average speed on german Autobahn, when we had it few years ago and it was absolutely comfortable. Now we have the e-hybrid. It's a nice car, way better interior, but just not as exciting anymore. I would describe it like that: The V8 diesel "wanted", the e-hybrid "must".

The hybrid needs the air because of the extra weight. The Base Cayenne is exceptional on springs.

I am definitely buying s e hybrid or even turbo e hybrid but in coupe version!!!

Funnily enough the intro video is how every Cayenne driver drives anyway 👀. Great video as usual!

[JBOsurf]

I'll have the V8 thanks. But in a Panamera.

Awful! Porsche is offering a plug in hybrid??? No way! I can't believe I would say... Porsche is no more my favorite car! OK, no problem, I'm not interested in this video, but thanks anyway.

its when the battery runs out that the MPG drops significantly for having to carry all the batteries and electric motor so if you are doing lots of long distance miles, this wouldn't be my choice.

we got the coupe some months ago and are just returning from a 800km trip to the Alps with the 2 kids, the car is just amazing in terms of comfort and ease to drive

I drive a Macan. It’s nice. But the Cayenne is seriously next level on steroids. Stunning motor vehicle. Great video, hi from New Zealand

This week's email. Why I cancelled my AE sub after decades.
Porsche the ultimate family SUV, Polestar 4, Ineos Grenadier, Aston Martin Vantage.
OUT OF TOUCH, your reality has completely left the building.

Cayenne and technologies are words which has nothing to do one with another :) But driving experience is another story. That's why one Cayenne E Hybrid S Coupe is on the way to my garage ;)

Great video again. Hope you keep your autonomy after being taken over by CarWow.

Do some research on the environmental impact of the manufacture of EV's please.

[r.hagenau]

Please no Climate Change propaganda. And: You can't complex your way out of a hole. That Cayenne is nice, but when it comes to resources etc, nothing beats a 20 year old Diesel Duster.

This is all great until the e-motor fails, chewing up its transmission when the car is JUST out of warranty, landing its owner with a £22k repair bill from the Porsche dealership. This happened to a good friend. How good does the car look now?

Terrible videography - disappointing understanding of basic subject lighting resulting in overblown images, camera flare and inappropriate placement of the camera and subject for much of this video !

[mikewallace]

I had the preface lift version. Weight was a killer. Defo needs air suspension. Mpg was poor when battery was depleted., as you lug around 500kg approximately of battery. This one goes further on battery.
Autocar suggested the V6 standard was better but and weighs less.
Exterior on this one looks poverty spec! Not a fan. But they all seem to be wheel and other extras specific.

And the hybrid only gives you 55.1 cubic feet of cargo space! That’s less space than my compact MB GLC63 has! Yiiikesss

[Slim-Bagel]

All 4 seasons in Blanchland as usual :)
