New Porsche Cayenne Review

Frankly speaking, it is the Cayenne that compels me to use the word vehicle in conjunction with Porsche. Before the introduction of the Cayenne, Porsche only used to manufacture cars. Thus, this model signifies a significant shift in the designing paradigm of Porsche. The Cayenne has the first V8 engine built by Porsche since the discontinuation of the 928 in 1995.

The model range

The Cayenne range, although relatively new, can be divided into two stages of development. The range manufactured from 2002 to 2006 is called the 1st generation Cayenne while the vehicles since have been known as the 2nd generation. The differences between the two are listed below.

But if you are more into saving the world by day and coming home to the family at night, you might want to try the 2011 Cayenne S Hybrid. Yes, that's right, it comes in Hybrid. For those out of the loop-this will be Porsche's third year making the Cayenne S Hybrid. Coming from an avid Cayenne consumer, the design for these eco savers has only gotten better from the 2009 debut. Now the design- and this goes for all the 2011 Cayenne models- is sleek and even sexy? I wasn't sure if an SUV could be considered sexy, but this transformation is something like The Swan (you know, that reality show that used plastic surgery to turn "ugly ducklings" into "The Swan"). One of the main advantages of going hybrid is the fuel economy which is about 22/25. The 2011 Cayenne S Hybrid can go from 0 to 60 in 6.1 seconds, which is pretty good. The great thing about this model is that it has a parallel hybrid system which means that there is no perception of the various drive modes (gas, gas and electric, and electric). What does this mean for the owner of this hybrid? It means that while they are just driving around, taking their kids to school, running errands and going to date night with the wife, they don't experience any change in feeling from the regular Cayenne S to the Cayenne S Hybrid. At last, you can feel like you are saving the world without any sacrifice in speed or luxury.
