The range-topping Porsche Cayenne is now electrified – but is it any good?
The Porsche Cayenne Turbo S E-Hybrid is the most powerful and fastest Cayenne of all time, more powerful and torquier than even the Lamborghini Urus. That alone is quite a statement of just how bought into an electrified future Porsche is. It has 671bhp, 664lb ft and a top speed of 183mph. 0-62mph takes 3.8sec.And the Top Trumps stats don’t end there. Thanks to its plug-in hybrid system, the Cayenne Turbo S E-Hybrid is also rated as one of the cleanest SUVs around, capable of 25 miles on electric power alone, with official official fuel economy up to 58.9mpg and CO2 emissions from 110g/km.And yet… it is also around 350kg heavier than the Cayenne Turbo, thanks to lugging the hybrid system and its ancilliaries around. And when the hybrid system runs down that’s rather a lot of extra bulk to be carrying around.
