If a person expected Porsche may be one of many brands leading the cost on plug-in hybrids back while Chevrolet launched the Volt in 2010-just as Porsche was debuting its first-ever production hybrid using the Cayenne-that person should be trading futures on Wall Street. By replacing this SUV with this 2015 Cayenne S E-Hybrid plug-in, Porsche now has three plug-ins, much more than another car manufacturer. Obviously, among those three is a 918 Spyder, that isn’t exactly well known production. But nonetheless.
To obtain the Cayenne to plug-in reputation, Porsche fundamentally grafted inside the Panamera E-Hybrid’s high-voltage battery, electric motor, and power electronics, upping a lithium-ion battery capacity to 10.8 kWh with the sedan’s 9.4. Normally, the powertrain is similar, from the Audi-sourced supercharged 3.0-liter V-6 on the Aisin eight-speed automatic. Torque is sent to all 4 tires with a limited-slip center differential with a rear-biased (58-percent) torque submitting.
The remainder of the vehicle is identical on the recently revamped Cayenne, with a few exceptions. The 282-pound battery, consisting of 104 individual cells, consumes the area normally reserved for a spare tire. Versus different Cayennes, the $77,395 E-Hybrid provides 2 additional buttons on its center console. Choosing “E-Charge” prioritizes replacing a depleted battery so upcoming electric driving is feasible. That increases fuel use through around 20 percent, according to Porsche. In “E-Power” mode, though, the Cayenne moves exclusively at the single electric motor at speeds up to 78 mph. This ability is mainly targeted at European marketplaces, in which it allows buyers to prevent congestion fees in particular cities. Americans are able to use this silent-running mode to slip standing on friends or, at minimum, valets.
Anytime a Cayenne starts, it’s in E-Power function by default, supposing there is enough juice in the electric. Porsche claims that charging with a 240-volt hookup takes about three-and-a-half hours with all the standard 3.6-kW charger; an optional 7.2-kW unit can reduce that to 90 minutes assuming you have access to a high-voltage feed.
Driving in a city makes it hard to wish for more power compared to electric motor produces. Highest speed with any 416 gas-and-electric horses ought to returning a zero-to-60-mph run well beneath six seconds, plus a quarter-mile will pass in just around 14 ticks, according to Porsche. No too cheap for the two-and-a-half ton ute.
