The 2024 Porsche Cayenne got a makeover with some subtle design changes and tweaks to the interior. While not a lot of new features were added, you’ll notice some differences in how things look and feel.
Engine Specs and Performance
The Cayenne E-Hybrid packs a punch with its hybrid setup. Even the entry-level model is pretty powerful, reaching 60 MPH in just 4.6 seconds. The top-of-the-line Turbo edition is even more impressive, hitting 729 horsepower and reaching 60 MPH in just 3.5 seconds.
Porsche interiors are known for their quality, but the standard features might feel a bit basic. However, there are plenty of upgrades available, like ventilated seats and a high-end sound system, although they come at a cost.
While the Cayenne hasn’t been crash-tested yet, Porsches typically do well in safety tests. The driver assistance features are decent, but nothing too fancy. However, the optional InnoDrive package is worth considering for added convenience.
Porsche offers a standard four-year warranty and roadside assistance, which isn’t bad. You can also extend it if you want extra protection.
The Cayenne E-Hybrid faces competition from SUVs like the Range Rover Autobiography and the Mercedes-Benz GLE 450e 4MATIC. While the Cayenne excels in performance, it may lag behind in off-road capabilities and standard features compared to its rivals.
The starting price for the Cayenne E-Hybrid is $91,700, but you’ll likely end up spending more with optional extras and additional costs. As for fuel economy, earlier models averaged around 46 MPGe, so the 2024 model should perform similarly.
If you want a hybrid SUV that drives like a Porsche and offers practicality for daily use, the Cayenne E-Hybrid is a great choice. However, if you prioritize off-road capability or want more bang for your buck, you might want to consider other options in the luxury hybrid SUV market. Ultimately, it comes down to how much you value the Porsche driving experience.
