Porsche’s Turbo Cayenee E-Hybrid coupe SUV – A class performance act

Driving the Porsche turbo Cayenne E-Hybrid Coupe SUV today – the most powerful combustion engine Porsche available from $297,200. The best plug-in hybrid I’ve driven but given the price maybe understandable – enormously capable the turbo Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid Coupe ticks all the performance boxes – powered by a combination of a 4.4-litre twin turbo V8 and a 130kW electric motor – producing 544kW of power, a staggering 950 Nm of torque driving all four wheels though an 8-speed Tiptronic automatic with four drive modes – in Sport Plus mode its performance aggressive but with so much electronic sophistication just so accomplished – with a top speed potential of 295 km/hour – a plug-in hybrid with nearly 80kms of electric range and with charging on the over run and through regenerative braking the best I’ve encountered in a plug-in hybrid – as an example, on a short 30 km drive I managed to recover 11km of electric range. The Porsche E-hybrid Coupe delivers highly competent handling and braking yet a very comfortable ride in a cabin that oozes class and comfort. A simply fabulous driver. An upper luxury Coupe style SUV that’s hard to fault apart from some options that simply should be standard fare and a short three- year/unlimited kilometre warranty. I’m David Berthon
