Cayenne | Cayenne S Hybrid · 25
A hybrid is like a good marriage.
Only with two better halves.
Cayenne S Hybrid.
We have always gone our own way. This
is the hallmark of our independent spirit.
Only thus can we continue to meet our
high performance standards. And yours.
For the Cayenne S Hybrid we chose a
highly sophisticated technical concept.
Thanks to Intelligent Performance, it
perfectly embodies the key principle of
an alternative drive: efficiency.
The parallel full hybrid drive (p. 30) on
the Cayenne S Hybrid features a 3.0-litre
V6 supercharged engine and an electric
machine (motor/generator) that provides
additional power on demand. It offers
levels of acceleration that are compar-
able with a V8 unit, but with a reduction
of up to 22 % in both fuel consumption
and CO
2
emissions compared to the
Cayenne S.
The engine delivers 245 kW (333 hp),
while the electric machine generates
34 kW (47 hp). Working in tandem,
they produce a total output of 279 kW
(380 hp).
With a top speed of 242 km/h (150 mph),
acceler ation from 0 to 100 km/h
(62 mph) takes 6.5 seconds. Maximum
torque is 580 Nm.
On the parallel full hybrid system, the
electric machine and a decoupler are
integrated directly into the drivetrain
between the combustion engine and the
eight-speed Tiptronic S. The decoupler
ensures positive engagement with the
combustion engine, thereby offering
several benefits – both for the driver and
the environment.
Under moderate acceleration, the
electric machine can power the vehicle
independently. In order to drive quietly
through residential areas, for example.
The generator can also be used to
recuperate energy during braking, i.e.
for charging the battery.
In addition, the electric machine can be
used to boost performance – for faster
acceleration.
Other energy-saving features include the
car’s ability to glide along, even when the
engine is turned off. The hybrid system
therefore also brings significant advan-
tages when not driving in urban traffic,
as the vehicle can simply ‘coast’ along
many stretches of road without any
power at all. Together with the auto
start/stop function, the parallel full
hybrid system offers exceptional levels
of performance and efficiency.
The ‘hybrid’ designation on each front
wing alludes to the innovative drive
concept within.
Inside the car, the TFT colour display
in the instrument cluster provides
information on the current energy flow.
Further driving data is displayed via
the optional Porsche Communication
Management (PCM). But the greatest
benefit of all: the Cayenne S Hybrid is
a Porsche. And it drives like one too.
