The new 2024 Porsche Cayenne SUV comes in six flavors, including these two powerful plug-in hybrid versions packing tons of horsepower.
and customers now have six powertrains to choose from as they configure their sporty five-passenger SUV or"coupe." That includes three versions with gasoline engines: base, S, and Turbo. But for an extra dollop of both power and efficiency, there are three plug-in hybrids to consider: a base E-hybrid, the S E-Hybrid, and the Turbo E-Hybrid.
From our time behind the wheel, we can confirm the refreshed 2024 Porsche Cayenne family, regardless of powertrain, is smooth and graceful in its ability to turn into a corner, transfer its weight, and remain perfectly in control as it accelerates out. Turns are sharp with the rear steering system, even when chasing a 911 Turbo S on a 2.6-mile technical track with many elevation changes.
We are in an era of electric excess. While we drove the Cayenne in the area outside Barcelona, a colleague in the same city was driving—a smaller, plug-in hybrid SUV with a turbo four-cylinder as the base and output of 671 hp and 752 lb-ft of torque, enough to reach 60 in an estimated 3.4 seconds.can be downright squirrely when you inadvertently apply too much force with your right foot.
The transition to and from electric power, meanwhile, is completely seamless. You cannot set the level of regeneration but displays show whether the battery is using or gaining electricity, and a power meter shows how much EV range is available. At the other end of the spectrum, you can record lap times or compete against a stored or best time.The 2024 Porsche Cayenne PHEVs have greater range and shorter charge times than before.
The air-quality system turns on the filter automatically when its lasers detect particulate; the car displays particulate levels inside and outside. We were caught behind an old vehicle that was spewing black smoke and we did not smell anything, nor did we have to switch to recirculated air. In Europe the system uses navigation and air-quality data by location to turn on the filter when necessary.
