Overview
Cars like the 2014 Porsche Cayenne hybrid might not be able to give you direct benefits one might expect from its hybrid powertrain. However, its usefulness must not be overlooked. The Cayenne hybrid uses its 3.0L V6 engine and 34 kW electric motor to produce 380 horsepower and 427 lb-ft of torque. This gives the Cayenne hybrid a 0-60 of 6.1 seconds. The hybrid engine here is to support the gasoline engine to boost performance and offer slightly better fuel economy than what a single gasoline engine would be capable of. That said, the Cayenne hybrid achieves a combined fuel economy of 21 MPG. As part of the midsize SUV, the Cayenne hybrid has no direct competitors. However, you can consider the less expensive SUVs like the Lexus RX 450h and the Infiniti QX60 Hybrid. It offers just one trim, starting off at MSRP $70,990.
