Porsche debuts the most powerful Cayenne in history

Porsche has been, by far, the luxury brand that has been betting on the electrification of the range for the longest time. Those from Stuttgart are very clear about how they want their future to be in the medium and long term. Models like the forthcoming Porsche Macan EV, which we have already seen numerous times in its development stage, show that in Germany they are fully committed to electricity. However, before reaching that point the E-Hybrid versions offer an intermediate compromise between the classic and the modern. The sum of two worlds that allows us to enjoy the most powerful Porsche Cayenne ever developed.

The Porsche family will soon grow. The Cayenne will no longer be the largest SUV in the house, an honor that will receive a 100% electric model developed for a maximum of seven passengers. After spending more than 20 years in the workforce, the Cayenne has evolved generously through its three generations now. Last spring an important restyling was introduced that today is expanded with the arrival of the E-Hybrid units with a plug-in hybrid system. Units that arrive to become the most powerful in the entire range, becoming the second most powerful Porsche model after the Taycan.

On an aesthetic level, the Cayenne Turbo E-Hybrid hardly offers any differences concerning the outgoing model. Slight modifications in optics, bumpers, and wheels are not capable of warning of the profound changes that are seen in the interior.

The dashboard changes completely to take advantage of the updated format of the house, a trend started by the Taycan. Up to three screens crowd inside, one of them in front of the co-driver, highlighting the digital instrumentation with a large curved panel. Embedded technology also improves, receiving a complete package of driving assistants.

However, the truly important thing about the Turbo versions lies in performance. While a Cayenne E-Hybrid kicks off its power at a not inconsiderable 470bhp, thanks in large part to a three-liter turbo V6 block, the combined performance of the Cayenne Turbo E-Hybrid rockets to 739bhp  with an engine torque of 950 Nm. These figures allow it to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.7 seconds and reach a top speed of 295 km/h. With the data in hand, we are talking about one of the most powerful SUVs on the face of the earth, although we must also mention the improvement in electric autonomy.

In addition to replacing the V6 with a powerful 4-liter twin-turbo V8 that alone is capable of generating 599 horsepower, the electrical scheme of the E-Hybrid units is improved with a new, higher-capacity battery pack. With 25.9 kWh, the Cayenne Turbo E-Hybrid is capable of homologating up to 82 kilometers of autonomy in urban routes and up to  73 kilometers in mixed cycle.

For recharging, opt for alternating current feeders of up to 11 kW that allow you to recover the entire battery in less than two and a half hours. All these values, including performance, power, and equipment, also apply to the Cayenne Coupé, with the exclusivity of being able to offer a GT Pack with a sportier and more specific set-up.

Porsche Cayenne Turbo E-Hybrid prices

  • Porsche Cayenne Turbo E-Hybrid: from 204,409 euros.
  • Porsche Cayenne Turbo E-Hybrid Coupé: from 207,918 euros.
  • Porsche Cayenne Turbo E-Hybrid Coupé (GT Pack): from 241,801 euros.

New KIA e-Niro already has a price in Spain

Image
A few months after its official presentation, KIA opened the order books for the new e-Niro in Spain. The revamped compact SUV, which now sits on the K3 platform already seen in the latest Hyundai Elantra, is slightly longer (6.5 centimeters) than its predecessor and  debuts a completely revamped exterior and interior design . However, mechanically there are not too many changes. The second-generation KIA e-Niro is equipped with a 204 hp (150 kW) and 255 Nm engine coupled to the front axle, thanks to which it can complete the 0 to 100 km/h in 7.8 seconds. Its battery pack will have a capacity of 64.8 kWh, enough to approve a maximum of  463 km WLTP  (its official consumption is 15.9 kWh/100 km), a minimal improvement compared to the 455 km WLTP achieved by its predecessor which tells us that, despite the use of a new platform, the powertrain is likely to be very similar. As for the load, for the moment it has only been revealed that it  will take 43 minutes to go from 10 to 80%  conn

VW thinks price war in China will lead to many bankruptcies

Image
Ralf Brandstätter, CEO of the Volkswagen Group in China , believes that the electric car market is “overheating”, with high investments and aggressive discounts that could threaten the stability of the sector. In particular, he points out that the pressure to which some manufacturers are subjected could lead to their demise. This situation mainly affects younger brands: according to the manager, many new players will urgently have to seek additional capital investment, or else they will go  bankrupt in the short term .  “We are facing a situation where the market is overheating. The consolidation of the playing field is in full swing. Although without making direct mention of Tesla, Brandstätter  is very critical of the price war that has rocked the Chinese market in recent months .  “Currently, there are more than 120 automakers in the [electric vehicle] market, and around 150 new models will be launched by 2023. Intense competition and high battery prices make them face strong econ
