So funny about the wireless charging compartment staying cold to keep your chocolates from melting. That's 😂
Hi, that is not an S E Hybrid. It’s the base E Hybrid. The S is 520hp.
544 here in the Netherlands.
A not so great bit of editing to correct the error…………
Your are conar
He didn’t say it was. At 1:40 he clearly says it’s the Cayenne e-hybrid.
@@trevormacdougall9385it has been edited since I posted the comment.
I have a 2017 Cayenne S e hybrid in white and I love it . Iv had mine stage 1 mapped so I’m pushing just shy of 400bhp from the petrol engine with 100bhp electric motor .
3:35 Shock absorbing centre console. Cool.
Rory you’re a delightful addition to my weekend mornings. Keep doing your thing! 4:04 is such a cool feature honestly
Love your reviews ✌
I just realized recently there’s a lot of sex bots in KZhead comment sections, but they actually post normal comments like “I love your channel” 😂
Rory review the XB7 and how it’s different from the M60i x7 please! Great work!!
I really don’t understand this push to full EVs for most people hybrids make way more sense! Electric when tootling around but with the back up of ICE for those longer journeys, makes way more sense than any EV!
You’re acting like we can only have 1 car.
@@kristianFL Most people in the world can only have one car! Not everyone is loaded!
@@joebloggs4191 In that case, you're probably not buying a Cayenne.
great vid as always mate - but ill be keeping the X5 50e ( fyi dealer info - you can expect the cold to knock off 15 miles of range )
The MPG on PHEVs always seems to be like that. You've got to have the right usage patterns to make it work. For my X5 almost all my miles are pure EV, or at least have hybrid. For the odd long trip where I get rubbish MPG it's balanced out by the savings the rest of the time. If you're constantly driving it on empty it's a bad choice.
A lot of non-cayenne owners leaving comments here. Brilliant SUV compared to other SUV options out there.
I wish you would state what extras it has as it changes the handling and sound significantly with or without certain options?
Gts for me Beautiful car ❤ My only draw back with the cayenne is that the front is a little too wedge shaped
The active sway bars if optioned are bananas, for such a big heavy tall car to corner so flat with so much front end bite is just incredible
Great road! Edmundbyers to Stanhope! 🥰
Your given information is wrong. The boot space in coupe hybrid is just 404L, but you say it is more than 700
Wonderful car love it
You talked about the towing! Thumbs up for that. This and the X5 are both really nice for towing.
Interesting choice of radio station.
For sure the best SUV at the moment , the facelift is killing it !❤
Please when will you review the Stelvio Quadrifoglio?
10:28 Yes thank you for saying this they need 2 hear it even the Honda Civic watchers!
Please please review the new 2024 bmw alpina B8 and bmw alpina XB7
Question - if you were to set a hybrid in mixed mode with the battery full how far would you expect to be able to drive and with what economy? This question doesn’t seem to be answered in any review. So in this case 30 - 50 miles on full EV and 20 mpg without battery, but what can it do in combo? Cheers
If it is anything like the similar petrol hybrid in my Touareg, the fuel economy is not great in Petrol only mode, expect 20-30 mpg at best. The engine is the same, I suspect but with a few Porsche tweaks. Combined max range, driving in economy is about 270miles.
I got average of 42mpg in EV mode over 62miles, the battery was flat then and took it back to the dealer, so don't know what it would have done over say 150M. will know after Tuesday 13th as trying again over a longer distance, if not good will order the V6 Petrol instead.
@@user-lt6kg5xc6mhi,how was your experience after long distance? I was planning to buy S E hybrid mainly because of fuel consumption but if it’s not a big difference between hybrid and s model I would reather buy S model. Could you tell my what consumption have you averaged? Thanks
Love Apple car play but I wish you could have smaller icons. They’re like 3x the size
Mine are 4x
With this nice review you're expecting to offer you the gt3 rs
What’s the album you’re listening to please?
I was born in a tropical country, and I have the absolute certainty that I would be depressed if I lived in a cold, windy, and wet country like the UK.
Wonderful car and great video anyway
After 20 years you get used to that weather 😂😉👍
you get used to it within 2 years haha
Spring in U.K. can be beautiful
Maybe; but when winter is over the weather gets better and it’s a lot warmer. Get to experience everything rather than just one climate
Should be re-titled "The king of overcharged pricing".
Good video as always but maybe overstating the “cheap running costs” of the hybrid….
What about a review of defender 110 2024 on a rainy season
What has been upgraded from the 2024 version?
Hybrids are the best compromise, we just need manufacturers to work out how to make them lighter
The more I look at Porsche Cayenne the more I like it
It’s good that we can share our European technology with you. 👍🏻
Loved it
Where is this green lane in the video?
I liked that older off-road looking Porsche at the beginning. Give us a video on that!
As a German it is so satisfying to hear english speakers say PORSCHÉ!!!!
I wish to own one, one day, great
🔥🔥🔥
I think my GR86 might have managed that off-roading 😂
And been a million times more fun too
Did I get it right about the complaint of 40.7 mpg for a car with 470 ps and 2,425 kg?
I had one for half a day (SUV) it had air sus and r/w steering, found the ride too hard for our less than perfect roads, once the battery is flat, (45 miles with careful driving) you have to drive very carefully to get 25mpg. I really wanted to like and order this car, such a shame.
Thats not the way to drive one, you drive in EV mixed mode. I got 33mpg over 198 mixd driving miles, at the 62 mile point iw was showing 42.5 mpg
Nice Porsche Cayenne E Hybrid
It appears to be missing a rear wiper. Ideal in those conditions!
Masterclass at the modern SUV
How many seats ???
They missed with the Taycan...
Stutcliffe said the four wheel steer good but you’ve demonstrated a huge flaw
that car didn't have it, it's not standard, when fitted they do turn at very low speed but not standing still or only just moving
I have one on the way
This car (MY 2022) almost killed my back. The “comfort” seats were not only super uncomfortable and hard, they also had almost no back support, I was falling out of the seat when turning. Sold the car after 1.5 years…
They should have had 4 way electrically adjustable lumbar adjustment, they do in the new model anyway
@@user-lt6kg5xc6m it was the side bolsters that were set too far apart and were not adjustable. I’m 190cm and 95kg, can’t imagine how smaller people sit in those seats, must not be fun.
Price points?
Rory, wish you could tell us how that Ferrari SUV measures up to these luxury brand SUVs... it felt like that Ferrari set a new benchmark when it came out...
The Ferrari is about 3x the price…..
Whatever you do, don’t buy it. Brand new Taycan’s are new 180K and sell for less than 100K with delivery miles. This will lose 50K within three years. Sorry it’s a hybrid. Not a full EV. Never mind. Ignore that.
Now I dream about q9 with this ride, this power and interior as usefull and spacious as in vw Atlas. And audi - please - get rid of all piano black in q9 when it comes.
king suv ❤
Any variant with the V8 is a win for me
Slow response touchscreen, more piano black scratchable plastic, pointless little hole where shifter used to be... Terrible, honestly
And add to the mix a poor choice of interior colors and the stubborn continuation of an insane but very profitable option policy and you get one of the most overpriced SUV's in its segment with a large premium over Mercedes, Audi, Range Rover and BMW and only more affordable than the likes of Lamborghini, Ferrari, Bentley and Rolls-Royce. But nevertheless they seem to be selling like hot cakes...
what about reliability?
If car prices have doubled but peoples wages haven't how do they sell any cars.
What is the fuel consumption on this car?
he said about 25 MPG in Hybrid mode.
@@Qugie that’s a lot since s model is around 17 MPG. I thought it’s going to be a big difference between plug in and regular V8
@@Qugie The one i tried las week averaged 42mpg for the first 45 miles, the battery was flat then and it had only been in hybrid, not just the battery, It would do 16-30 mpg with a flat battery depending on how you drive it
no that was after the battery was flat but driving carefully, around 14 when booting it
e-hybrid system isn't a good function for the Cayennes🙃
Who loves Rory presentation …? The best in the game right now 🎉
May I ask for an advice- should I lease or buy this car ? Can it be a long lasting 300k miles car ? Is the maintenance too high ? What are the safety ratings compared to a Volvo XC60? A good family SUV ?
Not good. Electric range these days needs to be around 50 to 60 miles.
Nice review as always, please next video the Range Rover sport SV
My base cayman does 0 to 60 in 4.1
I pray for Porsche to change the rear look especially the sucked in taillight and the exhaust end system looks not so fancy
So, a Touareg R PHEV, with 8 more horse power and a slightly more powerful hybrid motor… which is also the same engine as in the Bentley Bentayga hybrid…
Indeed, but a smaller battery than the Cayenne.
@@Floridos that’s the advantage of being part of a huge conglomerate, the parts bin is massive! And they are so skilful with their brand hierarchy and pricing points, so that one brand does not tread on the other’s toes, both in price and image wise. As A Touareg R owner, I have to say that the economy of the petrol engine (V6 335bhp) is horrendous!
Nothing can really beat the Urus, but I love the idea of a Porsche SUV. As long as it's a true 4 seater, it's good. The Cayenne right now is half a 4 seater, because it doesn't have a console like the Ferrari, Lambo, or RR SUVs
The Urus rides like it has concrete struts. Porsche offers a much better balance at satisfying both types of drivers.
Urus -around 80% of Audi's parts. Buy RSQ8 for a half price - a no Brainer!!!
@@donnattello1940 Is the RSQ8 a 4 seater?
@@Navoii. 5
Exactly, and I like my cars with 4 seats. It does look comfortable, though
€120k, I’ll put it on my lotto list
"Enormous battery pack" 😂
The 2024 Porsche Ceyenne e-hybrid is almost identical to the 2023 model year (not brand new as this video will want you to believe). This SUV remains painfully slow when driven in electric only mode since you only use the small electric motor that has to move now even more mass given the larger battery (I have driven both of them). Thus don’t believe the Porsche marketing pitch and either go all combustion or all electric if you want to have a fun SUV whenever you accelerate. P.S. I expected more from this channel especially describing dynamics of electric only driving
best driven in EV mode, using electric only for town driving / shortish journeys and then recharge.
Exactly! Rory had no clue how to use one properly!
I kinda expect you race it against goats 🐐 like you ever did with Range Rover Evoque 😂
Disappointed by the relatively minor upgrades and poor leg room in the back seat
You couod literally review a trolley n I'd still watch it
Porsche doesn’t miss these days, naa bro, Porsches don’t miss at all!!!!
what stop somewhere every 45m and charge the battery Rory? Lol
He didn't know how to drive one properly!! you drive in EV mixed mode. I did 198 mixed driving miles in that mode 33mpg
I also hate it when my chocolate melts while I'm charging it
This ain’t an SUV… it a mom-mobile
When is the Cayenne full EV coming?
Who would want that ?
They say 2026
Actually prefer the look of the old version.
That hvac control look horrendous more like a white good! Like most cars these days!!
Auto Traders Editing skills are getting fairly good these days! Not going to lie :)
Not a fan of its looks or interior. I'm sure it's a solid SUV though.
Is every car manufacturer out there buying their seats from Tesla? RR sport SV has them too….
Need full leather in that interior for it to truly feel Porsche
mate 238 unread messages??
*when you upshift, you can feel a torque interuption, and that means you can feel the gears" If it was for example some Hyundai, it would be a bad thing 😊 Power of the brand at its finest 😊 Nevertheless, great test, great channel, keep up with good work.
E-Hybrids are the future. I actually enjoy them. My mom has a panamera platinum 4 e hybrid and it's the best of both worlds. The engine sounds insane! Full on EVs are just such a boring driving experience. They only impress average Joe's that have never been able to afford a quick car.
1:32 is there a glitch in the matrix or is it just me? Notice the droplets on the window and the steering wheel, they snap change their position like someone just cut something random during editing haha
Think the Macan Turbo EV would be the more sensible choice overall. This hybrid would be ok if the engine could charge the battery on the move....when it's depleted you're kind of left with half a car.
Hi, i have 24 Cayenne S hybrid, it almost never fully deplete like in old model. 88kwh regeneration, always help to have some electricity left, and also motor can recharge it.
Charging the battery on the move is worse for your mileage than using it without fuel. (Unless you mean regenerative braking). As the engine just uses more fuel to compensate for the charging of the battery.
@@j800qthank you for that. I never made that equation between engine recharging battery and increased consumption. I should have, but somehow my mind said it was free recharging, but obviously it isn’t. You’ve saved me from buying a hybrid (or an electric)
Great review!
I used to be a big fan of porsche . I owned a 911, spyder and cayenne. When i moved to china, that all changed. Chinese manufacters are lightyears ahead i totally forgot what luxery is about. where are porsche : massage chair, monitors to watch tv , beautiful seats like in the s class, fridge , blinds ? oh but performance huehuehue. no chinese EV's have similar power , but also more range oh and lets not talk about the price .... I hope the west can enjoy true luxery soon enough without having to break the bank
When you say 'its quicker than a Porsche Cayman' ... based on the stats you said ... it's slower to 62mph and lower top speed than my 981 Cayman S ... and slower than any of the newer 718's basically.
718 Cayman: 0-62mph in 5.1. This: 0-62 in 4.9.
No rear windscreen wiper will make the rear view mirror a waste of time in the rain. Step backwards!
176+304=470? In what universe?
My 1.6T Kia sportage averages 21 mpg.
I;m a Porsche fan, however the Cayenne isn't a particularly good looking car outside. Bit old fashioned looking.
