2021 PORSCHE CAYENNE TURBO S E-HYBRID - THE 670HP ECO BEAST YOU NEED TO DRIVE

EV Channels Review

The 2021 Porsche Cayenne Turbo S e-Hybrid is presented as a compelling, albeit expensive, blend of extreme performance and eco-conscious capability. The reviewer highlights its staggering 670 horsepower, delivered by a 4.0L twin-turbo V8 and a 134hp electric motor, enabling a rapid 0-60 mph in 3.2 seconds. A key takeaway is its impressive electric-only range of up to 25 miles, allowing for silent, emission-free commuting and the potential for significant fuel savings, with a combined electric MPG around 42. The reviewer praises the seamless integration of the electric motor and the eight-speed torque converter automatic, the excellent all-wheel-drive system with torque vectoring, and the communicative steering. However, the vehicle's substantial weight is noted as a factor that prevents it from being as nimble as lighter counterparts. While the interior offers luxury, some elements like the rear armrest are deemed less premium for the price point. The reviewer concludes that while not a value proposition, the Cayenne Turbo S e-Hybrid offers an entertaining and unique driving experience, serving as an interesting transitional vehicle for those seeking both exhilarating performance and the benefits of electric power.
