About the Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid
Porsche is a pioneer of the performance plug-in hybrid drivetrain, a system that now powers many of the fastest cars in the world. With the Cayenne E-Hybrid, Porsche merged this incredible performance with the practicality of an SUV. That means a 0-60 time of just 4.6 seconds in a vehicle that will seat 5 and still have room for golf bags in the back. The Cayenne E-Hybrid is powered by a 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 paired with a hybrid drivetrain that produces a total system output of 463 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque. Shoppers can also step up to the 512-horsepower Cayenne S E-Hybrid or the race-tuned 729-horsepower Cayenne Turbo E-Hybrid. You have the option to harness all of that power for when you want to go fast, but there is also an all-electric mode that allows you to save gas on your daily commute. The Cayenne E-Hybrid offers the kind of versatility that you rarely find in a performance vehicle.
What The Critics Say
"With enough electric range for most people to get to work and back without burning a drop of gasoline, plus with the kind of remarkable speed and performance on offer here, it’s a near-perfect package for big spenders who need a little more practicality than the rest of the Porsche lineup." — Inside EVs
"It was a pleasure to wring out in the Santa Monica Mountains, with the electric motor ever ready to provide a jolt of right-now torque as the boosted six spools into action with a not-unforgettable engine and exhaust note. The overall experience driving the S wasn’t so much better that it would outweigh the E-Hybrid’s ample electric range and lower price." — Autoblog
What’s New for 2025
While minor in nature, there are still some notable updates to the dynamic Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid for the 2025 model year. Examples of features now included as standard on every Cayenne E-Hybrid include ambient interior lighting, improved cabin air filtration, and a 360-degree camera. Shoppers interested in the race-ready Cayenne Turbo E-Hybrid will be delighted to learn that these variants now include unique wheels, interior accents, and exterior trim pieces finished in an exclusive Turbonite shade reserved for Porsche Turbo models.
Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid Features
Newest Porsche PHEV Powertrain
A 3.0L mono-turbo V6 and electric motor combine to give the Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid a total system output of 463 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque. It can rocket from 0 to 60 in just 4.6 seconds on its way to a top speed of 158 MPH. A responsive Tiptronic S transmission offers significantly faster, smoother, and more comfortable shifts. Standard Porsche Traction Management (PTM) delivers clear benefits in terms of driving dynamics, agility, traction control, and off-road capabilities. Standard Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) provides confidence across any road surface. Thanks to the low-end torque produced by the electric motor, the E-Hybrid will hit 60 MPH faster than the V8-equipped Cayenne S. Other trilling models include the 512-horsepower Cayenne S E-Hybrid and the range-topping 729-horsepower Cayenne Turbo E-Hybrid.
Battery Charging & Range
Housed in the rear of the chassis beneath the load floor, the Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid stores its electric power inside of a 25.9 kWh battery pack. On pure electric power, the Cayenne E-Hybrid can travel up to 83 MPH. Using a 230-volt, 32 amp connection and the optional 11 kW onboard charger, it is possible to recharge a fully depleted battery in only 2.5 hours. You’re also able to control and monitor the charging process via Porsche Communication Management (PCM) or remotely when using the Porsche Connect app. These clever features make it simple to enjoy the efficiency you crave without making any compromises on the performance benefits made possible by electrification.
Interior & Exterior Enhancements
Unique enhancements found on the exterior of the Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid include Acid Green brake calipers and matching outlines around all of the badges. Mirroring these distinctive hybrid accents on the interior, the cabin features Acid Green needles on the Sport Chrono dial and the tachometer as well as hybrid-specific displays in the gauge cluster and within the PCM screen. Giving you a glimpse at key drive information and performance data, the Cayenne E-Hybrid is also available with a head-up display. This customizable, full-color display places vital information such as driving speed, engine speed, driving mode, and navigation information directly within the driver’s line of sight. Drivers can monitor key vehicle data without taking their eyes off the road ahead.
