Hybrid Car Review

Porsche Cayenne

The price has been set on the 2011 Porsche Cayenne S Hybrid. At $67,700, the Cayenne Hybrid is not going to be the most expensive hybrid on the road, but it certainly puts it in the upper reaches.

It also puts it in the mid-range of the Porsche Cayenne line-up. The Cayenne base price is $46,700, the Cayenne S is $63,700, while the Turbo comes in at a paltry $104,800.

The all wheel drive Hybrid SUV comes with a 3-liter V-6 eight speed automatic transmission.  Together with the 47 hp electric motor the engine has a combined 380 hp capable of 150 mph.


Porsche says the EPA numbers are not available yet, but the Porsche Hybrid will be 23 percent more fuel efficient than the old Cayenne. You can also 'sail' at up to 97 mph (the gas engine will shut off if you're cruising along).

The Hybrid S will be on sale in the fall.
