2016 PORSCHE CAYENNE S EHYBRID - FULL REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The reviewer explores the 2016 Porsche Cayenne S eHybrid, initially questioning the appeal of a hybrid SUV but ultimately finding it surprisingly capable. The vehicle impresses with its staggering performance, achieving 0-60 mph in under 6 seconds despite its nearly 3-ton weight, and demonstrating remarkable handling with minimal body roll, a testament to Porsche's engineering. The reviewer highlights the seamless integration of the electric motor and the V6 engine, providing over 400 horsepower combined. While acknowledging the hybrid system's contribution to economy and reduced emissions, the reviewer clarifies it's not a long-range EV like a Tesla but rather an accompaniment to the petrol engine. The Cayenne S eHybrid also proves surprisingly adept off-road and offers a comfortable, practical interior with ample space. Despite its impressive all-around capabilities, the reviewer concludes it's not a personal fit, though highly recommends it for its exceptional performance and innovative hybrid concept.
