What Is the Real-World Fuel Economy of the Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid?

Three Months With Our Cayenne E-Hybrid Lately, I’ve been driving our Cayenne E-Hybrid quite a bit, but mostly for school pickups and quick trips to nearby shops. For those short journeys, electric power alone is more than enough. In fact, I realized I hadn’t bought gas once in the past two months, and the fuel gauge has dropped by only about two and a half bars. That fuel use is mostly down to my husband...

Charging Environment and Real Ownership Impressions of the Cayenne E-Hybrid

Cayenne E-Hybrid Our Cayenne, delivered last month, is the Cayenne E-Hybrid, which means it can be charged externally. Today, I’d like to share a bit about the charging environment and my actual experience owning it. There are two types of charging: normal charging (using 100V or 200V AC power sources) and rapid charging from dedicated charging stations. By the way, the outlet voltage in our home parking space is 100V, so when charging the Cayenne...

Taking the Family to Awaji Island in a Porsche Cayenne

Taking the Cayenne on the Highway The other day, my family and I took our Cayenne E-Hybrid to Awaji Island. We didn’t have anything specific planned, but my husband suggested: “The Cayenne is amazing on the highway. It’s so comfortable, and it has plenty of power. How about heading out toward Awaji Island today? Since we’ve got the Cayenne, why don’t you try driving it on the highway?” So we decided to head to Wellness...

Installing Rear-Seat Monitors in Our Porsche Cayenne So We Can Watch YouTube on the Road

Installing Rear-Seat Monitors in Our Cayenne This is the first car we’ve had with monitors for the rear seats. My husband had suggested adding them to our previous cars, too, saying, “Why not put monitors in the back for the kids?” But I was stubbornly opposed, insisting that: No way—we shouldn’t spoil the kids like that. They’ll start thinking it’s normal to watch TV in the car! So we never installed them. But the kids...

Buying a New Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid—and Bringing It Home

Our New Cayenne Has Arrived Our Cayenne E-Hybrid (9YA) has finally joined the family. This wasn’t a press car or a loan from a friend—we’ve actually taken delivery of one of our very own. W-well, would you believe it…? (*_*) This turn of events came as a complete surprise. Until just last month, I never imagined it would happen. We’d been looking for an SUV the whole family could enjoy, but our plan was to...

Porsche Cayenne Coupe The other day, I had the chance to test-drive a Cayenne Coupe. June had arrived, and with the kids back at elementary school and kindergarten, I finally had some free time in the mornings. So my husband and I decided to make the most of it and go for a drive together. How long had it been since the two of us went on a test drive alone? Usually, we’re busy responding...

We Saw the Porsche Cayenne Coupe at the Dealership. So, Should We Buy One?

A Visit to the Porsche Center We had a few things to take care of at the Porsche Center recently, so the whole family went along for the first time in ages. It had been months since our last visit. When we arrived, H, our sales consultant, came out to greet us. After my husband took care of what he needed to do, we started talking about possible replacements for our Panamera. My husband was...
