DRIVING THE NEW 1000 HP PORSCHE CAYENNE TURBO ELECTRIC

EV Channels Review

The Porsche Cayenne Turbo electric makes a powerful debut, boasting an astonishing 1000 hp and sub-3-second 0-100 km/h acceleration. The reviewer highlights its impressive performance, agile handling that belies its size, and the advanced Porsche Active Ride suspension which keeps the vehicle remarkably level. Charging is exceptionally fast, with 10-80% in under 16 minutes thanks to 400 kW peak DC charging. Real-world range is estimated around 500 km. However, the reviewer notes potential challenges: the high price point and a WLTP range that, while good, is significantly less than some competitors like the BMW iX3, which could impact its market appeal. The vehicle also runs parallel to the combustion engine Cayenne, a decision that contrasts with the discontinuation of the combustion Macan, a move the reviewer questions given the current market transition.
