2022 PORSCHE CAYENNE E-HYBRID COUPE

EV Channels Review

The 2022 Porsche Cayenne Coupe E-Hybrid presents a compelling, albeit expensive, plug-in hybrid SUV option. The reviewer highlights its sporty coupe styling and a potent 455 horsepower V6 and electric motor combination, offering brisk acceleration. However, the vehicle's high cost, particularly with numerous optional extras, is a significant point of contention, with the press car reaching $150,000 despite missing key features like adaptive cruise control and a head-up display. Real-world electric range is noted as approximately 35 km on the highway and up to 51 km in the city, with the reviewer achieving around 35 km on the highway and the rated 51 km in city hypermiling. The reviewer praises the car's handling and the availability of various drive modes, including e-charge for battery replenishment. Criticisms include the lack of DC fast charging and a larger battery option, with the reviewer suggesting that for similar or less money, pure electric alternatives like the Taycan might be more appealing, though Porsche currently lacks a fully electric SUV in the Cayenne's size class.
