Best all-around mid-size SUV period? I think so; this pig weighing at 5,000 lbs is shockingly good. So good in fact I believe as far a daily driver and all around road trip do everything vehicle this is it. This vehicle isn’t getting all the attention it deserves and I think it’s because the general public feel that Hybrids are old news and the just want the new EV stuff. The public is so easy to manipulate with all the EV technology coming down and all the companies due to release them. I still feel the Hybrids should last longer than they have. First, no range anxiety. You can actually drive this thing on a family road trip to the mountains and go camping without worrying about where in the hell you are going to plug it in because it also takes gas!!! Oh yeah and the electric battery can charge itself while driving, awesome!!
Numbers time, so the gas engine is a V6 turbocharged putting out 335 hp and 332 lb-ft. The electric motor adds another 134 hp and 295 lb-ft totally 455 hp and 516 lb-ft combined. Now I know that math doesn’t add up but those are Porsche’s numbers combined so don’t send me hate mail telling me to go back to college. This heavy pig can do 0 to 60 in 4.7 secs!! Top speed of 157 mph. Also, it gets 46 mpg combined with the EV motor. Pretty nuts in a heavy vehicle that can put down big power. Another crazy fun fact about this is that it’s cheaper than the all gas engine Cayenne S and gets better mileage and is more powerful. Why would you not buy this one? I can’t figure it out maybe people just are not doing their research? I mean this is a no brainer when it comes to value for what you pay for here folks. These are just as well equipped as the Cayenne S, beautiful interior tons of leather and moon roof. Handles well for an SUV, I mean lets be real it’s not a 911. Although it’s one of the better handling SUV’s on the market if not the best. So it has that going for it. Very powerful, very beautiful and very capable. This can tow up to 7,700 lbs, and can go off road. It had wet, sand, mud and snow settings. This one can truly do it all.
Would I own one of these? In heartbeat. I loved everything about this 2019 Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid. I think it’s the best Cayenne in the entire lineup. I think you would be foolish to pass on this and pay a ton more money for one that has fewer positives than this one. This is the secret sweet spot in the lineup power, towing, mpg, and all the luxury all at the same time. 2019 Cayenne E-Hybrid is a true road warrior ready to chew up miles and treat you good!
