Cars most likely to have major powertrain problems. It made comprehensive updates inside and out, it axed the Turbo S E-Hybrid model, and it released a new trim called. On paper, then, it looks like a downgrade. However, the new Turbo E-Hybrid offers more power and quicker acceleration than both the outgoing, non-hybrid Turbo and the newly-retired Turbo S E-Hybrid. Let’s crunch numbers.
Every time I drive a higher-end Cayenne, I’m surprised at how such a big, heavy car can move so quickly. It almost defies physics. Giving the Turbo model a spot at the 700-plus-horsepower table reinforces the impression that Newton would be a bit puzzled if he sat in the back seat: this roughly 5,700-pound SUV is a full half-second quicker from zero to 60 mph thana decade ago.
Another one of the interior updates Porsche made to the Cayenne for the 2024 model year is an optional 10.9-inch display embedded into the dashboard directly ahead of the front passenger – something first seen in the Taycan. It’s so well integrated that I had no idea it was there until my co-driver told me. From the driver’s seat, you can’t tell that there’s a screen in that spot, let alone that it’s on. It’s debatably useful but pretty cool.
With the driving mode selector turned to Sport Plus, the Turbo E-Hybrid races out of the pits toward the first corner. The lead car, a yellow 911 Turbo S, sets a pace that initially doesn’t feel very SUV-friendly but ends up being spot on. You never forget the mass you’re lugging around – the new Turbo weighs more thancombined – but the chassis tuning and features like Torque Vectoring Plus allow you to metaphorically drive around it.
In electric mode, the S E-Hybrid delivers the same driving experience as the Turbo E-Hybrid; you can’t tell the two apart. It becomes more animated once the V6 wakes up, but it doesn’t bring the backdrop to life the way you’d expect a 500-plus-horsepower SUV to. That’s not to say that it’s slow, it’s quicker than, but it doesn’t feel as lively as its specifications sheet suggests.
