There are lots of things to say about the 2019 Porsche Cayenne, yet the new third-generation Cayenne still looks a lot like previous Cayennes. Start with its expansive nose, the gaping air intake and the mildly front fenders.
Then there is the bumpy hood,that is characteristic of Cayennes. Perhaps a distinguishing factor though is that this car is significantly lower and narrower without a radical change to its general formular
The heart of the new Cayenne E-Hybrid plug-in is its powertrain. It is now in a rather familiar formula.
The base Porsche Cayenee carries a 3.0-liter single-turbo V-6 engine producing an epic 335 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque. This is nicely paired to an automatic torque converter that shifts to eight-speed and sends powers to all four wheels.
It incorporates Porsche’s Traction Management all-wheel-drive system. Then there is the mind disturbing 440hp Cayenne S and the 550-HP that uses a V-8 powered Cayenne Turbo
Porsche has also introduced something else worth mentioning which is 134-hp AC motor meant to handle the engine starts. This leaves the normal 12-volt electronic systems such as engine operation and infotainment in the hands of the high-voltage battery that executes its mandate through an inverter.
The 2019 Porsche Cayenne revs from 0-60 mph in a 5.9 seconds. For a vehicle in its class, it is rather well priced for competitive performance.
