The new Cayenne is going to debut for the next -generation model and will have a MPG of nearly 26 MPG , over 25 % increase over the previous model , plus providing more HP than the v8 !

Porsche has introduced impressive technology:

-- a 8 gear tranny from asin,against the CVT most hybrids use
-- a re-generative braking system
-- to make stop and go run completely on the battery, using a very powerful low-torque 51 HP electric motor
-- although engines borrowed from Audi, porsche replaced all the gas-using features like tranny , steering to run on electric motor only ( this is great, I own an A4 1.8T, and that little thing drinks GAS)
-- A SUPERCHARGER ! ( less weight, more HP)

I'm really excited, I am going to start saving up for one now hehe. and porsche will not be over flamboyant in its advertising it as a 'hybrid', they say it will look just like the regular car, plus it WILL release in as the NEXT gen Cayenne ... so we may have these choices next year

Diesel, Hybrid, or the regular gas

 

reminds me Ferrari front end.

 

diesel makes way more sense

 

forgetaboutit!

 

"will not be over flamboyant" as evident by the 8 inch lettering scrawled across the rockers. "Hybrid". Wow - Stuttgart goes SouthPark.

 

+1 ... not in the USA at least, but I'm amazed how well MB is doing with the Bluetec diesel models.

 

I've been considering the Cayenne Hybrid for several years now ... I need to get Wifey out of the CR-V and into some else. So for now, it's between the MB GLK and the Cayenne Turbo ... I'm mean Cayenne Hybrid. Boy, that was close.

 

the base gets almost 19-20 mpg, and the hybrid is only 6 mpg more? for 15k grand?

 

The base gets more like 14-16 in the city it gets way less than sticker says
