Porsche "compromised"! Cayenne plays with new energy sources. What’s the difference when the four-cylinder is electrified?

In addition to "speed", Porsche also has a little-known quality, that is, forward-looking. When Porsche launched its SUV model, it was not favored by the industry, but as the Cayenne became popular, it made a lot of money. Then the Cayenne Coupe was launched, enriching the family camp. Now, Porsche has once again launched the Cayenne E-Hybrid Coupe with great foresight. What kind of performance will it perform? Let’s take a look!

"Cayenne E-Hybrid Coupe" is like three separate words put together. Everyone must have seen the family-like appearance on the road. The through-type air intake grille looks very wild, coupled with the "frog-eye headlights", the appearance of this front face is like the taste of money! ?

The waistline on the side of the car is smooth and smooth, and the overall lines are full and stylish. The fastback shape is the biggest difference between it and the ordinary Cayenne. ?

In addition to the sexy buttocks, the huge lime green brake calipers betray its performance. The front 6-piston calipers are equipped with the Porsche Surface Coated Braking System (PSCB). It is difficult to stop... …

The through-type taillight set not only enhances the horizontal visual effect, but also increases the momentum of the rear of the car. Especially the small rear wing on the trunk lid can firmly capture your attention at just one glance. ?

Entering the car, the familiar feeling comes again. The simple design reveals a full sense of technology, and the chrome elements are just right, effectively enhancing the sophistication of the entire cockpit.

The generous and thick seats are wrapped in genuine leather, with excellent texture, softness and wrapping feeling. The main and auxiliary seats are equipped with leg rest adjustments, so you will not feel tired even on long-distance driving. . ?

The rear seats support backrest adjustment and front-to-back adjustment, and are equipped with a central armrest and cup holders, ensuring riding comfort. The floor of the rear row is raised too high, which will have a certain impact on the passengers in the middle. Fortunately, the panoramic sunroof is large enough and will not make rear passengers feel oppressive. ?

The entire powertrain of the Cayenne E-Hybrid Coupe is composed of a 2.0T four-cylinder turbocharged engine and motor, matched with an 8AT gearbox. This is also a powertrain unique to China. , because the overseas version model is a 3.0T six-cylinder engine? The engine model is EA888, which everyone must be familiar with. ?

As a Porsche hybrid car, its price is 30,000 yuan more than the entry-level Cayenne. However, with the addition of the hybrid system, the maximum horsepower of this car has reached 386Ps, and the maximum torque is 600Nm, which is more powerful than the entry-level 3.0T model of Cayenne. Therefore, although the 2.0T engine has been replaced, there is no need to worry about power.

Because of the intervention of the hybrid system, when you get in the car and ignite it to drive away, this Cayenne does not make any of the sounds you expect from a Porsche, because its default driving mode is pure electric mode. In this mode, this Cayenne is very suitable for two-point and one-line driving environments, especially road conditions like Beijing's morning rush hour. It will not start the engine at all when there is no rapid acceleration. This car has a pure electric cruising range of 51km. If your daily commute to get off work does not exceed this range and you have the conditions to charge, then in theory you can drive it as an electric car. You will find that there are gas stations It is a meaningless existence.

In addition to the pure electric mode, this car also has three hybrid modes: HYBRID? AUTO (automatic), E-HOLD (holding), and E-CHAGRE (charging). Except for E-CHAGRE, the other three modes give priority to using the motor for driving. However, I do not recommend everyone to use the E-CHAGRE mode, because the engine not only drives the vehicle, but also charges the battery. The noise and vibration are very obvious, and it also consumes fuel. This is a plug-in hybrid vehicle. The most energy-consuming use of motor vehicles.

There is no doubt that the future will be dominated by new energy vehicles. But as a traditional sports car company, Porsche does not stubbornly insist on using internal combustion engines, but actively embraces changes. This spirit of advancing with the times is very good, but it is reflected in the Cayenne E-Hybrid Coupe. Perhaps This is also the reason why many car owners choose it.
