Introducing the 2024 Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid: Efficiency and Power
Renowned for being one of the world’s first high-performance SUVs, Porsche’s Cayenne has been thrilling drivers while providing impressive practicality and deluxe amenities for two decades.
The latest generation of the crossover vehicle features a highly refined hybrid powerplant that brings greater performance and efficiency to the lineup. Read on to learn more about the 2024 Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid.
Introducing the 2024 Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid: Efficiency and Power
Powertrain
The E-Hybrid takes the standard Cayenne’s turbocharged 3.0L V6 and combines it with an electric motor to produce a total of 463 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque. An 8-speed Tiptronic S automatic transmission continues to handle shifting duties with precision and speed, helping the vehicle to accelerate from 0 to 60 in 4.6 seconds and cover the quarter-mile in 13.2 seconds.
With a combined 512 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque, the Cayenne S E-Hybrid’s version of the powerplant makes the drive even more compelling. Standard all-wheel drive is retained by all E-Hybrid models and improves grip in all conditions. Owing to the Cayenne E-Hybrid’s 25.9-kWh lithium-ion battery, drivers can take advantage of an all-electric driving range of more than 40 miles.
Chassis
Owing to its sport-tuned, 4-wheel independent suspension, which features a multi-link setup and stabilizer bars, the Cayenne E-Hybrid promises stunning agility and responsiveness. The standard Porsche Active Suspension Management system is capable of adapting to changes in the driving surface and automatically adjusts the damping force applied on both axles for optimal handling and comfort.
The standard steering already feels telepathic, but buyers may add rear axle steering for tighter turning and improved cornering performance. Available ceramic brakes do an excellent job of absorbing heat from heavy use on track days. 20-, 21-, and 22-inch wheels are offered in more than two dozen styles.
Passenger Cabin
The 2024 Cayenne brings with it an updated interior design featuring a more streamlined dashboard. The new dashboard houses a 12.6-inch digital instrument panel, a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen in the center, and an optional 10.3-inch touchscreen for the front passenger. Buyers can pair black leather upholstery with rich colors like Bordeaux Red, Night Green, or Mojave Beige for a two-tone look.
Standard comforts include 8-way power and heating for the front row, dual-zone climate control, and wireless charging. For an even more luxurious riding experience, buyers can opt for ventilated seats, 18-way adaptive sports seats, and a massage function. The infotainment system comes with wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto integration and support for SiriusXM satellite radio.
