2024 PORSCHE CAYENNE TURBO E-HYBRID COUPE - POV DRIVING IMPRESSIONS

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Porsche Cayenne Turbo E-Hybrid Coupe is lauded as a performance benchmark in the SUV segment, blending supercar-level acceleration and handling with plug-in hybrid efficiency. The reviewer highlights the 729 horsepower V8 and electric motor combination as a significant improvement over previous E-Hybrid models, offering thrilling, linear power delivery and an intoxicating exhaust note. While the vehicle excels in performance, with exceptional chassis balance, sharp steering, and potent carbon-ceramic brakes, the reviewer notes minor drawbacks. These include a slight jerkiness in electric-only mode at low speeds and a desire for a physical dimmer switch for screens. Despite these points, the Cayenne Turbo E-Hybrid is praised for its integrated performance, comfortable ride across modes, and its ability to feel like a driver's car first and a hybrid second, making it an impressive and surprisingly efficient package for its price point.
