NEW PORSCHE CAYENNE


The new generation Porsche Cayenne will make its world debut at the Geneva Motor Show. The highlight of the new line-up is the technically sophisticated parallel full hybrid drive-train. The Cayenne S Hybrid is the cleanest Porsche throughout the company’s entire portfolio with combined fuel consumption of 8.2 litres/100km and CO2 emissions of 193g/km. The 34kW (47hp) electric motor is the ideal partner for the 333hp 3.0-litre supercharged V6 engine with its high torque at low speeds. Together, the two drive units deliver maximum output of 380hp and peak torque of 580Nm at just 1,000rpm, with the same kind of performance as the Cayenne S with its conventional V8 petrol power unit. Depending on driving conditions, the vehicle reaches this target with either only one drive unit operating independently or with both drive units working together.


Otherwise three of the five versions of the new Cayenne consume less than ten litres of fuel per 100 km in the New European Driving Cycle, and two models emit fewer than 200 grams of CO2 per km, thanks to introduction of a new Tiptronic S eight-speed automatic transmission featuring a wider spread of gear ratios, an Auto Start Stop function, optimised thermal management on the engine and transmission cooling system, on-board network recuperation, and intelligent lightweight construction.
