INTELLIGENT, POWERFUL HYBRID
All-new SUV debuts in Geneva with more room, technology and

performance alongside significantly reduced weight and fuel
consumption
MISSISSAUGA – February 25, 2010 --- Led by a technologically-advanced full

hybrid model, the all-new, next-generation Porsche Cayenne sport-utility will
debut at the Geneva motor show in early March. In line with the Porsche
Intelligent Performance development strategy, the entire range, from the
entry-level V6 to the 500-horsepower Cayenne Turbo, delivers improved
performance while using less fuel and producing fewer emissions than ever
before.
The highlight of the range is the new Cayenne S Hybrid, which features a
highly-sophisticated parallel full hybrid drive system. With a combined power
output of 380 bhp from the supercharged V6 combustion engine mated to an
electric motor, and fuel consumption on the New European Driving Cycle of
just 8.2 L/100 km, the Cayenne S Hybrid combines the performance of an
eight-cylinder with the economy of a six.
In the intelligent interaction of the 3.0-litre supercharged V6 and electric

motor, the Cayenne S Hybrid focuses on maximum efficiency. Depending on
driving conditions, either drive unit can operate independently or together.
The 47-bhp (34-kW) electric motor is the ideal partner for the 333-bhp
engine, which produces high torque at low engine speeds. With peak torque
at 427 lb-ft at just 1,000 rpm, the Cayenne S Hybrid’s performance is on par
with a V8-powered Cayenne S.
The hybrid’s two drive units are connected by a decoupling clutch. A hybrid
controller controls their complex interaction and intelligent management of
the clutch makes the transition among various driving modes seamless. Like
many hybrids, the Cayenne S Hybrid can cover short distances on electric
power alone, free of emissions and noise to 60 km/h. For aggressive
acceleration, the motor provides a power boost to the gasoline engine.
What makes the Cayenne S Hybrid unique is its ability to cruise at high
speeds on electric power alone. The gasoline engine can be completely
switched off and disengaged from the drivetrain at speeds of up to 156 km/h.
In this so-called sailing – or cruising – mode, the drag forces exerted by the
combustion engine and their braking effect are eliminated in the interest of
lower resistance and fuel consumption.
All new-generation Cayennes set high standards for efficiency and

performance. Compared with the former models, fuel consumption is down
by up to 23 per cent and CO2 emissions are significantly reduced, despite
increased performance on all models.
A new eight-speed Tiptronic S automatic transmission with a wide range of

gear ratios and the automatic start-stop function (first introduced on the
Panamera) contributes to these improvements. So does efficient thermal
management of the engine and transmission cooling circuits, on-board
electrical network recuperation, variable deceleration fuel cut-off and the
Cayenne’s intelligent lightweight construction.
Thanks to a special combination of materials as well as changes in the

overall vehicle concept, such as a new all-wheel drive system, weight has
been significantly reduced on all models as well. Despite an even higher
standard of safety engineering, the Cayenne S is 180 kg lighter, which not
only improves fuel consumption and lowers emissions, but also boosts
performance, agility, and handling.
A completely new design brings the new Cayenne even more in line with the
entire Porsche lineup. Its sporting character is evident from all angles and its
Porsche shape and design characteristics are clearer than ever before.
The new Cayenne is 48 mm longer than its predecessor, while an extra 40

mm in wheelbase ensures extra space and greater versatility. But despite
larger exterior dimensions, the elegant lines of the new Cayenne make it
look far more compact and dynamic.
Inside, the luxurious interior is distinguished by its high-quality fittings,

touch-screen infotainment interface and a centre console which, like the
Panamera, rises up to meet the dashboard. Porsche’s traditional set of five
round instruments includes a high-resolution circular TFT screen to the right
of the tachometer. It can be used to change radio stations or vehicle
settings, or access the navigation system and view the map. Rear-seat
comfort is much improved as well. The bench slides fore-and-aft by 160 mm,
while the backrest can be adjusted to three different angles.
The entry-level Cayenne features a 3.6-litre V6 that produces 300 bhp, 10

more than the previous model. In conjunction with the eight-speed Tiptronic
S, fuel consumption has been reduced by 20 per cent on the New European
Driving Cycle.
Fuel consumption is also down significantly on the high-torque Cayenne S. Its

4.8-litre V8 produces 15 bhp more than the previous model. When combined
with the overall weight savings, performance is markedly increased, yet
consumption is down by 23 per cent.
The Cayenne Turbo, with its 500-bhp, 4.8-litre twin-turbocharged V8, also
consumes 23 per cent less fuel than its predecessor despite its improved
performance and acceleration.
Together with the Cayenne S Hybrid, three of the new Cayenne models
produce less than 200 grams of CO2 per kilometre. At 193 g/km, the
Cayenne S Hybrid is not only the cleanest Cayenne model, but also the
cleanest vehicle in Porsche’s entire portfolio.
The new Porsche Cayenne S and Cayenne Turbo go on sale in Canada in July.
Canadian Porsche Centres will offer the Cayenne and Cayenne S Hybrid in
the fall.
