Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid vs Range Rover Sport Hybrid – luxury eco SUV comparison - CarAdvice
You only need search for weekend getaway accommodation and you’ll find you’re bombarded with eco-friendly options that are designed to make you feel like you’re lessening your impact on the environment. Take the Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid and the Range Rover Sport Hybrid we’ve got here. Both are from prestigious brands that are chasing new ways to lower their respective average fleet emissions, but neither is designed to feel austere in any way, shape or form. Yes, you’re absolutely right – once upon a time large SUVs like these were considered part of the problem, not part of the solution. The Porsche Cayenne plug-in hybrid is a greenie’s wet dream – it allows you to charge from your home solar array, or from the wind farms and hydroelectric schemes that your electricity company charges you the privilege of accessing through carbon... The Range Rover Sport Hybrid isn’t quite the same shade of green – it uses a diesel-electric hybrid drivetrain but it can still run on electricity alone for short distances. The Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid, for example, starts from $140,800 plus on-road costs, which is a staggering $34,700 more than the entry-level. Source: www.caradvice.com.au
