Porsche is expanding its range of hybrid models with the introduction of the new Cayenne E-Hybrid, which combines the best driving dynamics in its class with maximum efficiency, the company said. A three-litre V6 engine (340 hp) combines with an electric engine (136 hp) to generate system power of 462 hp. The maximum torque of 700 Nm is already available just above idling speed; with a boost strategy adopted from the 918 Spyder supercar.

The model accelerates from zero to 100 kilometres per hour in five seconds and has a maximum speed of 253 kmph. The new Cayenne E-Hybrid can drive up to a distance of 44 kilometres and a speed of 135 kmph on electricity alone. The average consumption in the New European Drive Cycle (NEDC), depending on the set of tyres used, is 3.4 – 3.2 litres per 100 km of fuel and 20.9 – 20.6 kWh per 100kms of electricity.

Alongside the launch of the Cayenne E-Hybrid, Porsche is expanding its range of comfort and assistance systems for the entire Cayenne series with additional options such as the new head-up display, massage seats and 22-inch light metal wheels.

The new Cayenne E-Hybrid will be launched in India at the end of September 2018. Pricing and market specifications for India are to be announced soon.
