Porsche has expanded its Cayenne lineup with the introduction of the new 2024 Porsche Cayenne Coupe S E-Hybrid, a plug-in hybrid SUV that slots strategically between the Cayenne E-Hybrid and the formidable Cayenne Turbo E-Hybrid. This latest addition emphasizes a harmonious blend of exhilarating driving dynamics, supreme comfort, and enhanced efficiency, making it an ideal choice for discerning drivers seeking a versatile and eco-conscious luxury vehicle. Available in both SUV and the sleek Coupe body styles, the Cayenne S E-Hybrid enriches the model range, offering improved electric capabilities and quicker charging times thanks to advancements in Porsche’s hybrid technology.
Under the hood of the 2024 Porsche Cayenne Coupe S E-Hybrid, a meticulously refined three-liter V6 turbo engine producing 348 hp (260 kW) works in concert with a potent 174 hp (130 kW) electric motor. This dynamic pairing results in a combined system output of 512 hp and a substantial 553 lb-ft of system torque. This power translates to impressive performance figures, propelling the Cayenne S E-Hybrid from 0 to 60 mph in a mere 4.4 seconds and conquering the quarter-mile in just 13.0 seconds. Notably, this acceleration is a tenth of a second faster than the non-hybrid twin-turbo V8 Cayenne counterpart, showcasing the immediate power delivery and responsiveness of the hybrid powertrain.
Advanced Hybrid Technology for Extended Range and Faster Charging
The 2024 Porsche Cayenne Coupe S E-Hybrid benefits significantly from the latest enhancements to Porsche’s hybrid system. A larger 25.9 kWh (gross) battery capacity provides a noticeably improved electric driving range, allowing for more emission-free journeys. Complementing this increased battery capacity is a standard 11 kW on-board AC charger, substantially reducing charging times. Using a Level 2 charger on a 240V circuit, the Cayenne S E-Hybrid can be fully charged in approximately two and a half hours, ensuring convenient and rapid replenishment of the battery. This combination of increased battery capacity and faster charging makes the 2024 Porsche Cayenne Coupe S E-Hybrid exceptionally practical for daily driving and longer commutes, maximizing the advantages of its plug-in hybrid technology.
Superior Comfort and Dynamics with Adaptive Air Suspension
Contributing to the 2024 Porsche Cayenne Coupe S E-Hybrid‘s refined driving experience is the inclusion of adaptive air suspension as standard equipment. This sophisticated system, featuring two-chamber, two-valve technology, provides a remarkable spectrum of spring rates and dynamic responses. Drivers can seamlessly transition between a plush, comfort-oriented ride and a more performance-focused, agile handling, adapting to various road conditions and driving preferences. This advanced air suspension underscores Porsche’s commitment to delivering both exhilarating performance and exceptional comfort in the 2024 Cayenne Coupe S E-Hybrid.
