The 2024 Porsche Cayenne Turbo E-Hybrid is more powerful than ever

Porsche power while sipping gas - what's not to love?

Porsche Cayenne Turbo E-Hybrid
Porsche wants 80 percent of its entire lineup to have fully electric motors by 2030 to meet the EV adoption target. So far, it has released only one fully electric model — the Porsche Taycan. However, it plans to introduce four new EV models to its lineup by 2026, including the Cayenne EV. Of course, Porsche will still offer hybrid models for those who love the high performance that comes with infusing a gasoline engine and an electric motor.

If you’re into SUVs or coupes, the 2024 Porsche Cayenne Turbo E-Hybrid is more powerful than any Cayenne ever made. More succinctly, it’s engineered with a twin-turbocharged V8 engine that can produce 591 horsepower and an electric motor that adds an extra 174 horsepower. In total, the 2024 Porsche Cayenne Turbo E-Hybrid is a mean machine with up to 729 horsepower and 700 lb-ft. of torque. This is way more power than the 2023 Turbo S E Hybrid.

On the race track, the 2024 Porsche Cayenne Turbo E-Hybrid is capable of accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds. This makes it one of the fastest SUVs in the world. However, it’s still not fast enough to beat the Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT, which can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 3.1 seconds. Then again, it has more horsepower than the 2024 Cayenne Turbo GT — this means you can modify it to accelerate faster.

The 2024 Cayenne Turbo E-Hybrid also comes with a 25.9 kWh battery. Porsche hasn’t revealed how many miles you should expect to drive using the battery, but if the current 2023 model offers 20 miles of EV-only range with a 14.1 kWh battery, the 2024 Cayenne Turbo E-Hybrid should have at least 30 miles of EV-only range. Better yet, you should be able to charge the battery in less than 2.5 hours using a level 1 home charger.

Another cool thing about the upcoming Cayenne is that it features an adaptive air suspension system with two-valve and two-chamber technology to improve handling and comfort. All the other updates that were introduced in the 2024 Porsche Cayenne are also available in the 2024 Cayenne Turbo E-Hybrid.

If you want the SUV model, pricing starts at $146,900 without the delivery fee. But if you prefer the 2024 Cayenne Turbo E-Hybrid Coupe, it’s slightly more expensive by $4,500. Porsche says customers should expect delivery between May and June of 2024.

Audi and Porsche’s new PPE electric drive system is smaller and more efficient
Audi and Porsche are improving battery-electric vehicle technology

Audi is fast becoming a poster child for EV success and advancement. In addition to enjoying record sales from its e-tron EVs this year, Audi recently introduced the Premium Platform Electric (PPE), an electrical architecture for future EVs. Audi developed PPE jointly with Porsche, another Volkswagen Group brand. Advances in battery electric vehicles (BEVs) are necessary for widespread electrification of the cars, trucks, and SUVs we drive, and Audi isn't sitting back waiting for Tesla or BYD to find new solutions.
Why the Premium Platform Electric system matters

The Audi/Porsche PPE matters because, with the advanced platform, automakers can develop technologically advanced vehicles to address two of the most important buyer concerns about EVs: range and charging time. With PPE, engineers can also design drive systems that are more efficient, smaller, lighter, and improved heat management.

The Porsche 911 hybrid: What you need to know
When can you get your hands on a Porsche 911 hybrid?
Porsche 911 carrera at sunset

Porsche became known as Porsche thanks to its iconic 911 sports car. Although the 911 is a classic in the brand's arsenal, it is no stranger to change. The Porsche 911 is about to experience its most remarkable change to date, possibly even more significant than hopping on the water-cooled bandwagon. 

According to sources, the Porsche 911 992-generation model is set to receive a refresh. This refresh is part of Porsche's move toward cleaner energy vehicles, and as such, the sports car icon is set to begin using a hybrid powertrain in the near future.

Lamborghini’s first plug-in hybrid Super SUV: The Urus is more powerful than ever
Lamborghini unveils the most powerful version of its best-selling car at in art gallery
Lamborghini Urus SE Super SUV shot front on at Chelsea Arts District debut event.

Some car makers roll out new models at race tracks, and others launch their latest vehicles at car shows. On April 30, 2024, Volkswagen Group's Lamborghini brand unveiled its freshest expression of rolling automotive art in New York's Chelsea Arts District. The Lamborghini Urus SE breaks new ground for the luxury supercar brand because it's the first plug-in hybrid Super SUV.
Why the Lamborghini Urus SE launch matters
North America is Lamborghini's top market, and the Lamborghini Urus is the company's best-selling model in history. The event took place at the Lamborghini Lounge NYC, following an earlier showing on April 24 at the Beijing Auto Show. When the Urus SE completes testing, and customers can begin receiving their cars in late 2024, they will drive the most powerful model of this important vehicle.
The hybrid system that powers the Lamborghini  Urus SE

The PHEV Urus SE combines the output of a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 and a 25-kWh lithium-ion battery. With a total of 789 horsepower, the Urus SE has a top speed of 194 miles per hour and accelerates from 0-to-62 mph in 3.4 seconds. These numbers top the non-electrified Lamborghini Urus S, which scores a 190 mph top speed and has a 0-to-62 mph time of 3.5 seconds. Clearly, both are exceedingly fast SUVs, but the Urus SE is speedier. The electric motor can also propel the SUV for more than 37.28 miles in EV-only mode, according to Lamborghini.
