Back in 2002, a low volume low profit manufacturer called #Porsche took a risky move in a bid to become a bigger player in order to save the company and fund bigger and better sports cars: creating the Porsche #SUV, the Cayenne. And now almost two decades later: the Cayenne has been one of the key sales successes of Porsche, funding the creation of bonkers things like the 918 Spyder Hypercar — a car that set the direction for every hybrid since, including today’s car — The all new facelift #Cayenne S E Hybrid!
The new Cayenne is here, and it’s now much sharper looking outside, and has had a huge upgrade in its interior. More crucially, the Hybrid Version has seen some great improvements that should make living with it even better. The New Cayenne has improved hugely in general terms too, when it comes to power units on offer.
Firstly our previous V6 Cayenne S gets upgraded to a full on V8, much like the GTS and turbo. It’s more powerful than the V6 at 474PS, and obviously brings a lot more emotion to the table. It’s also nice and light at 2160KG!
There’s a model below this with the standard Cayenne, which has a V6 with 350HP. This also serves the basis for the Cayenne E hybrid base model! Speaking of hybrid, our car today is the mid point. In-between E Hybrid and Turbo E, it has a revised 3.0 V6 turbo engine with: 353 HP and an 176 HP electric motor. Together the system makes 519 HP, 750 Nm, and 0-60 in 4.5 secs. What’s more impressive is the Electric Range of 90km, which is a massive increase over the previous which only had 48km range!
Much of this is also thanks to the new electric engine, not only do we have more power but it also recuperated up to 88kw as low as 2kmph! The battery is also now a 25.9kw unit, and can be charged fully in 2.5 hours
Check out my other video for the Turbo E Hybrid - the more powerful cayenne ever at 739BHP - way more than the 680 BHP predecessor. Thanks to a reworked V8 in that new hybrid system! And I also drive the GT package version, which is Porsches epic workaround to not being able to have the turbo Gt in some major markets. Link to this is below:

The Design upgrade on the facelift is big too! Large arched wings, sharper bonnet and body lines. Much more defined rear with greater break up of body parts, and my fave bit: the super sharp matrix lights! The rear is much more sporting, taking a lot of cues from Macan’s sportier character. A Coupe is available once again too, and this model can option a lightweight sports package saving up to 33 kilograms.
Interior upgrades are even bigger, with Taycan inspired large screens on the dashboard. The Driver Zone one is a curved display with a new operating system, and thus all new driver zone screens! These are much better designed than before, and feature more display options like the 5 circles of the 911. The 12.3 inch screen in the middle is the new PCM system with smartphone style UX. Porsche are also apparently the first manufacturer to incorporate new CarPlay features - but I couldn’t deduce what those were on this first drive. Of course, you can also now option a passenger screen too.
Will the V6 convince as a daily alternative to the EV onslaught? And can it hope to bring some of the emotion that made the Turbo E so fun to drive? Let’s find out today!
