Porsche is a revered-brand that exudes sports performance and luxury. One thing you might not have known about zee German company is that it has started to focus plenty of attention to the plug-in hybrid market. With the Panamera S E-Hybrid and 918 Spyder in the fleet, Porsche has produced the latest Cayenne S E-Hybrid to become the first automaker to offer a luxury SUV plug-in electric hybrid.
In order to showcase what the new plug-in Cayenne can do, Porsche has created a commercial that grabs your attention. As Mom and Dad relax in the living room with a strategically placed comment about Mark Webber coming from the television (who now races in the FIA World Endurance Championship for Porsche), a young boy (possibly 9?) walks in, grabs the keys to the Porsche and says he's going to go fill-up the car. This cuts to a second scene where the boy is watching the Cayenne get juiced up on electricity as he plugged it into the charger in the garage.
It's a simple and catcher commercial that makes you notice what's going on, as no parent would allow their nine-year old to drive their car to the gas station. The actual charging of the Cayenne plug-in is estimated to take under 1.5-hours using a 240V charger.
The Porsche S E-Hybrid is an all-wheel drive vehicle that's equipped with 333 hp and 325 lb.-ft. of torque coming from a 3.0-litre V6 that works with an additional 95-hp electric motor. All combined power is rated at 416 hp and 435 lb.-ft. of torque and comes with a 10.9 lithium-ion traction battery. It can go from 0-100 km/h in just 5.9 seconds.
The Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid is currently available in Canada for a starting price of $86,800.
