Our Cayenne is a Cayenne E-Hybrid model.Panamera 4E Hybrid that I was recently allowed to ride.and our Cayenne.The more I drive, the better I like Porsche's E-Hybrid model. If I buy a Cayenne or Panamera in the future, I will definitely buy a hybrid model.The couple often has the conversation, "What do you want to do?
So today, my husband wrote about why Porsche's E-Hybrid model is so great. Please take a look.
Porsche hybrids are fast.
The description on Porsche's website and in their catalogs.Circuit-derived hybrid technology"It incorporates technology from the 919 Hybrid that competed in the WEC.It is written, "The
However, when people think of hybrids, they inevitably have the impression that they are "eco-focused hybrid vehicles," that they lack a sense of power, and that the accelerator pedal position does not match the speed or engine rpm.
I feel that way, too, and I've been thinking, "I don't understand why anyone would buy a hybrid from Porsche, even if it incorporates the technology of the 919 Hybrid, it's still an "(eco-friendly) hybrid" after all.I thought, "I'm not going to be able to do that.
However, after I bought the Cayenne E-HybridThat bias is gone 100%. I feel Porsche is using hybrids for speed and power, not fuel economy.The company has now become a
In fact, the E-Hybrid model is fast. Quite fast. The data shows that the ca0-100km/h in 5.2 seconds for the Yen S, compared to 5.0 seconds for the E-HybridIt is. In addition, due to the characteristics of the motor, the maximum torque is produced instantly, which makes the car feel faster.
In fact, one of my acquaintances who drove a Cayenne GTS Coupe said, "I've driven two cars, an E-Hybrid and a GTS, and the hybrid seems to be faster.He said, "I'm not sure. (I know it will be a personal feeling, but the E-Hybrid feels so much faster)
It is also great for overtaking acceleration on highways.If you put it in sport mode and give it a quick tap on the gas pedal, you'll find that theThe boost meter on the instrument panel jumps up, powerfully accelerating the over 2-ton body with ease.
Although this acceleration is not as strong as that of a turbo, it is no match for a sports sedan. It is quite impressive. On ordinary roads, the response is superb, such as when driving on Midosuji Street in Osaka City with heavy traffic, and you want to change lanes quickly and safely in front of the car.
When the accelerator pedal is pressed, the engine starts without a pause, and the power of the motor assists, allowing the driver to move forward in an instant.I am always impressed by how good a car it is.
The Porsche E-Hybrid is cheaper than other models.In terms of the Cayenne, it is about 1,270,000 yen cheaper than the S, and the Sport Chrono Package is standard equipment. And when it comes to used cars, the hybrid is even cheaper, and already unfairly cheap (laughs).
Probably.The high performance of this hybrid is not understood by the public, which is probably why it is not popular.But I want to say it out loud. "Hybrids are the best buy.". Regardless of what other Porsche drivers may think of you, I don't think you made the wrong choice in choosing a hybrid.
If you're considering buying a Cayenne or Panamera and have decided on an S or turbo, that's fine.If there is anyone who says they are not sure about the grade, I would definitely recommend the E-Hybrid.If I were to buy a Panamera or Cayenne next, I would certainly choose a hybrid model.
The most important feature of the E-Hybrid is the ride, or to be more precise.Ride quality is goodThis is the case.
First of all, since the car is driven by a motor from the start, it is very smooth from the first roll of the tires. This is not a matter of "air suspension or spring suspension.Smoothness from the smoothness of the drive trainIt is best to have them think of it as such.
The ride is smooth and glides along smoothly.This feels the same in the Panamera as it does in the Cayenne, and it's a different feel from the gasoline models.
In addition, theThe motor is also very compatible with transmissions such as PDK and Tiptronic S.The motor's ability to instantly control torque probably has a lot to do with this. The motor provides a high quality ride with little or no gearshift shock.
Moreover, the control when you want to accelerate quickly in the city is excellent, and the torque is instantly transferred to the tires without any discomfort.There is absolutely no jittery kickdown or waiting for turbo lag.
And the biggest factor in my opinion regarding ride quality isHeavy batteries are loaded in the rear.This is to. This will allow theThe rear is very stable and very calm.
Especially with the Cayenne and other SUVs, the center of gravity is high, and if there is no one in the rear seat, the rear may feel a little too light and show a slightly bouncy behavior, but the hybrid modelThe weight of the battery is used to improve ride comfort.They provide a high quality ride.
Finally, the battery and motor weigh about 300 kg, so the "It doesn't have a Porsche feel to it, and isn't it dull in the corners?I think there are some people who think, 'I'm not sure what I'm doing.
I used to think so too. But it is not true at all.
It is fast enough and corners wonderfully without any discomfort at all.This isPanamera E-Hybrid articleI would like to refer you to the following information, which I have also written in the following section.
There is nothing wrong with it, but if any of the following applies to you, you may be better off with another grade.
...and that is my husband's view.
In addition to the above view, I like the fact that the E-Hybrid does not need gasoline when going shopping in the neighborhood, and only needs to be recharged.On a full charge, our Cayenne is indicated to run 28-30 km.but(maximum 44 km by catalog value)The car is almost safe for a round trip of 20 km in the city center.
The other day I drove the Cayenne to take my husband to work (about 25 km one way), and as a test, I drove the car in E-Power mode, which runs on electricity only, without using gasoline throughout the trip.
It was warm that day and the air conditioner was turned off, I was cruising along the highway following the flow of the driving lane, and I made a conscious effort to collect electricity on the downhills.The charge lasted until I got off the IC on the highway on my way home.
Thus, the Cayenne E-Hybrid almost never uses gasoline on a regular basis, and although it has been about six months since delivery and has traveled a considerable distance of about 7,000 km, it has only filled up with gasoline four or five times so far.
And now, since there is no need to fill up the tank with gasoline, I plan to run with half a tank of gas, and when it runs out, I will fill it up to half again, but this doesn't happen very often (laughs).
If any of you are considering a Cayenne or Panamera.I highly recommend the E-Hybrid because it is comfortable to ride, fast, fuel efficient, and very cost effective!It is.
