If someone expected Porsche would be one of many brands leading the cost on plug-in hybrids back when Chevrolet released the Volt in 2010-just as Porsche was debuting its first-ever production hybrid using the Cayenne-that person must be trading futures at Wall Street. By changing this Sports utility vehicle on this 2015 Cayenne S E-Hybrid plug-in, Porsche now has 3 plug-ins, more than some other car manufacturer. Clearly, one of those three is a 918 Spyder, which isn’t exactly mainstream manufacturing. But nonetheless.
To have the Cayenne to plug-in status, Porsche basically grafted in the Panamera E-Hybrid’s high-voltage battery, electric motor, and power electronics, improving a lithium-ion battery capacity to 10.8 kWh from the sedan’s 9.4. Or else, the powertrain is similar, through the Audi-sourced supercharged 3.0-liter V-6 for the Aisin eight-speed automatic. Torque is routed to all or any four tires using a limited-slip center differential using a rear-biased (58-percent) torque distribution.
The remainder of the vehicle is similar for the currently revamped Cayenne, with some exceptions. The 282-pound battery, containing of 104 individual cells, consumes the area normally available for a spare tire. Compared to other Cayennes, the $77,395 E-Hybrid offers 2 extra buttons on it is center console. Selecting “E-Charge” prioritizes replacing a used up battery so future electric driving are achievable. This increases fuel usage by 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 mostly aimed at European markets, where it enables buyers to avoid congestion costs in particular cities. Americans will be able to use this silent-running option to sneak through to friends or, at the very least, valets.
Anytime the Cayenne starts, it’s in E-Power function by standard, supposing you will find enough juice within the electric. Porsche claims that charging with a 240-volt hookup takes about three-and-a-half hours using the standard 3.6-kW charger; an optional 7.2-kW unit can reduce that to 1 hour 30 minutes if you've got admission to a high-voltage feed.
Driving in a city makes it tough to wish for more power compared to electric powerplant manufactures. Maximum speed along with 416 gas-and-electric horses should returning a zero-to-60-mph sprint effectively under 6 seconds, along with a quarter-mile may complete within above 14 clicks, according to Porsche. No too bad for any two-and-a-half ton ute.
