The powertrain for the "Cayenne S E-Hybrid," a first for the Cayenne, combines a 3.0-liter V6 engine with a supercharger and an electric motor. The engine alone produces a maximum output of 245 kW, and the motor alone produces 24 kW. The system as a whole delivers a maximum output of 306 kW / 5,500 rpm and boasts a maximum torque of 590 Nm / 1,250-4,000 rpm.

The transmission is an 8-speed Tiptronic only. It drives all four wheels, achieving 0-100 km/h in 5.9 seconds and a top speed of 243 km/h. Fuel efficiency is also excellent, consuming just 3.4 liters per 100 km (approximately 29.4 km/l), with CO2 emissions kept to 79 g/km.

The drive battery is a 10.8 kWh lithium-ion cell. Depending on conditions, it can travel approximately 18-36 km on electric power alone, similar to an electric vehicle. The motor alone can achieve a top speed of 125 km/h.

Prior to the Cayenne, the first Porsche plug-in hybrid model introduced to the market was thePanamera S E-Hybrid, which accounted for 9 percent (1,513 units) of the 16,698 "Panamera" models shipped by August this year. Porsche anticipates the Cayenne will follow a similar trend.
