Hello, fans of speed and green technologies! Imagine the Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid as that middle sister that is always somewhere in between – not too wild, but not too calm at the same time. Well, in 2024, this middle sister decided to spice things up a bit. It's safe to say she jumped into the gym, added some green smoothies to her diet and transformed into a Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid.
And how much power did she gain from that green smoothie? Porsche promises us as many as 512 horses and 750 Nm of torque. This hybrid beauty combines a turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 and a single electric motor. The engine contributes 348 horsepower, while the electric part adds another 174, making the aforementioned 512 horsepower. And while it might sound like science fiction, it's actually faster than its twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 sibling. The hybrid accelerates to 100 km/h in the same 4.4 seconds, but crosses the quarter kilometer a little faster - in a measly 13 seconds.
If you thought 512 horses in the Cayenne S E-Hybrid was impressive, then hold on to your hats, because that's not even the tip of the iceberg in the Porsche family. This figure is only a shadow compared to 729 horsemen, which it offers Cayenne Turbo E-Hybrid. But hey, at least it beats the Cayenne E-Hybrid we met a bit earlier this year. And not to mention that standard two-chamber, two-point air suspension underneath. It supports a powertrain that includes the same 25.9 kWh battery found in other E-Hybrid models. You can charge it in two hours on a Level 2 charger, although Porsche is not yet ready to reveal how many kilometers you will drive with it. According to a company representative, we will have to wait until the spring of 2024 for this information.
As for the exterior, the Cayenne S E-Hybrid wears the same revised look as the other models for 2024. Of course, we can't miss those chic 20-inch Cayenne S wheels and quad tailpipes at the rear. The SUV models boast a standard silver exterior package, while the sportier Coupe is dressed in black. Matrix Design LED headlights, eight-way power seats, Sport Chrono package, keyless entry and start, and lane change assist are just some of the standard goodies this model offers.
If you've already prepared your wallet for the new 2024 Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid, we've got some numbers for you. The base price for this green beast is $99,100, while the coupe will cost around $105,650. Delivery? Expect it in the spring, when the first lucky ones will already be sitting behind the wheel of this masterpiece.
Oh, and one more thing for all the European enthusiasts: we don't have exact price information for Europe at the moment. So, keep your fingers crossed and maybe the European price will be even more attractive! Which, of course, we strongly doubt, but still strongly hope for.
