2015 Porsche Cayenne Hybrid review | first drive - Cars Guide
Porsche hybrid is full of clever tech but it feels like driving Miss Daisy. They drive boring SUVs so that other Porsche owners can keep driving 911s. The 911 may be the thoroughbred of the Porsche stable but the Cayenne is the cash-cow , keeping the bean-counters at bay so the engineers can continue to weave their magic... Now Cayenne drivers are being asked to keep the environmental regulators at bay also, by buying a plug-in hybrid version. The latest addition to the Porsche line-up is also the world's first plug-in hybrid SUV from a luxury brand. With an electric-only range of 18km-36km, it gives inner-city folk the opportunity to claim a zero-emissions commute when people tut-tut at the hulking SUV on their driveway. The purists took quite a while to get over the thought of a Porsche SUV and a bit longer to get over the thought of a diesel Porsche, so a plug-in hybrid could be a stretch. Slipping behind the wheel of the hybrid Cayenne, you're immediately hit with the green stick — all five dials in the instrument panel have luminescent "acid green" dials (matching the brake calipers).
