PORSCHE CAYENNE TURBO E-HYBRID | 729HP FOR $170,000

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Porsche Cayenne Turbo E-Hybrid is a performance marvel, delivering a staggering 729 horsepower and exceptional driving dynamics that set it apart from competitors like the BMW XM and Mercedes-AMG GLS. The reviewer praises its seamless hybrid integration, allowing for quiet EV-like operation or potent V8 performance, and highlights its superior ride and handling, even on snow tires. However, the review strongly advises against the Coupe body style, citing significant compromises in practicality and cargo space without offering the benefits of a true coupe. The extreme price tag, nearing $190,000 as tested, is also a major drawback, making it a questionable value proposition compared to less expensive, albeit less prestigious, rivals. While the driving experience is lauded, the practicality issues of the coupe variant and the high cost are significant detractions.
