PORSCHE CAYENNE HYBRID FULL REVIEW 2019 PLUGIN E-HYBRID PHEV

EV Channels Review

The 2019 Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid is presented as a compelling option, particularly for European buyers, offering a blend of performance and efficiency. The reviewer highlights its sporty yet comfortable driving dynamics, enhanced by the optional air suspension and rear-axle steering, making it agile despite its size. The electric-only range is estimated at around 35 km, with a top electric speed of 135 km/h. While the hybrid system adds weight, it contributes to a respectable combined fuel consumption, significantly lower than non-hybrid variants and competitive with diesel options. The interior is praised for its spaciousness, particularly in the rear, and modern features like the large touchscreen and digital cockpit. However, the reviewer notes that the electric drive alone doesn't offer a 'super boost' and is more of a supportive element. The pricing is considered attractive, especially when compared to the Cayenne S, and it comes with more standard equipment. The reviewer's verdict leans towards the hybrid as the most interesting and sensible Cayenne variant for its balance of performance, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness.
