The next stage in Porsche's journey towards e-mobility is the Cayenne E-Hybrid. While the performance of the combustion engine moderately improves on its predecessor to 335bhp, the performance of the electric engine is now over 43 percent higher at 100kW (134bhp). Both combine for a total system power of 456bhp.

Battery capacity has also improved significantly in the Cayenne E-Hybrid, along with the distance on electricity and the boost reserves. In comparison to the previous model, capacity has been increased from 10.8kWh to 14.1kWh. This is an increase of around 30 percent.

The charging process can be managed and monitored via Porsche Communication Management and remotely using the Porsche Connect app. Porsche Connect can also be used to find and filter charging stations and set them as a navigation destination.

The boost strategy derived from the 918 Spyder supercar is a new addition. It ensures that the electric engine can be used in all the standard Sport Chrono Package's driving modes for an additional performance boost. This means the maximum system torque becomes available as you press the accelerator pedal. Depending on the driving situation and performance requirements, drivers can continue to draw on the boost torque across the entire range of speeds. This leads to a more agile and superior driving experience.

The extent of the boost support and battery charging during the journey depend on the driving mode. In the performance-focused Sport and Sport Plus modes, virtually all of the battery's energy can be used for a boost. In Sport mode, the battery is charged just as much as is required for a new boost. In Sport Plus mode, the battery is recharged as quickly as possible. The other modes support maximum driving efficiency.

With the launch of the Cayenne E-Hybrid, Porsche is expanding its range of assistance systems and optional features for the entire series with a variety of innovations. For the first time, head-up display is available in a Porsche. It projects all the relevant driving information directly into the driver's line of vision in a full-colour display. Other new features now available in the Cayenne are the smart digital copilot Porsche InnoDrive with adaptive cruise control, massage seats, a heated windscreen, independent heating with remote operation and 22-inch light metal wheels.
