The new hybrid SUV will carry the supercharged 3.0-litre V6 petrol engine from Audi, capable to deliver 325bhp and 324lb ft and assisted by an electric motor delivering 38kW and 184lb ft. The battery comes mounted under the boot floor and can provide enough electricity for the car to run on electric power alone for 1.2 miles and at under 31mph.
According to our sources, the new Cayenne S Hybrid and Cayenne S Diesel, unlike petrol-engined versions of the new Cayenne which will use a multi-plate clutch to apportion drive, will use a lighter and more easily packaged Torsen four-wheel drive system similar to the one used on the popular Audi Q7.

Regarding the performances of the hybrid SUV, this will hit 62 mph in just 6.5sec and will have a towing capacity of up to 3500kg.

The Porsche Cayenne Hybrid will also deliver an impressive fuel consumption of 34.5 mpg and 193g/km CO2 emissions.
