Whats the mpg like when towing and not towing. Is the hybrid system useful when towing or are you driving about in a 3.0 V6 petrol towing with no hybrid help? In a hybrid mode while towing how long does the battery assist you?
Odd and not at all helpful that the Caravan and Motorhome Club (of which I am a member) should choose to do such a review of the Cayenne E-Hybrid at this time, only 3 weeks ago apparently, yet not mention the forthcoming substantial facelift of the Cayenne (2024 model) announced a few days ago (18 April) about which quite a bit of information has become available over recent months, including video and other information released by Porsche themselves about the development indicating the changes for the 2024 model in production from this summer, and now the only Cayenne model available to order. However, that is with significant price increase such that even with minimal optional extras the car will cost in excess of £80,000 (bearing in mind that much of the equipment standard on other makes is extra on a Porsche) and to buy one with the equivalent spec to the pre-facelift Platinum edition model reviewed here would cost over £90,000 - beyond the means of the vast majority of caravanners I should imagine, regardless of the Club having a ‘soft spot’ for this car! Rather extraordinarily no mention of price at all in this review, apart from the cost of the tow bar! In any case this review, to be of any use, ought to be alongside or refer to review of other comparable large PHEV (plug in hybrid) SUVs in this class and price level, with specific comparisons to the other makes and giving particular reasons for the Club preferring the Cayenne E-Hybrid above all others, in every respect (so it seems). For example there is the BMW X5 50e (recent replacement for the 45e) which having combined WLTP (EAER) range of 64-67 miles, well out performs the Cayenne E-Hybrid in that respect - even the 2024 model has combined WLTP (EAER) range of only 41-46 miles (up from 25-27 miles for the pre-facelift model). Moreover, the power of the BMW X5 PHEV has been greatly increased from the 45e - now for the 50e it is 489 hp (PS) with torque of 700 Nm, compared to the slight increase in power for the 2024 Cayenne E-Hybrid to 470 PS (from 462 PS for pre-facelift model) but with torque reduced from 700 to 650 Nm. And the WLTP Consumption (combined) for the BMW X5 50e is 313.9-353.1 mpg, compared to 188.3 mpg for the 2024 Cayenne E-Hybrid. As for the Club’s Tow Car of the Year Awards mentioned in the review, for the last two years (2022 and 2023) the Cayenne E-Hybrid was the only large PHEV SUV that they tested, so clearly that cannot be a basis for reckoning that to be the best of them, or that you could not do better than to get one, and hopefully in the 2024 Tow Car of the Year Awards different car(s) in this class will get a look in!
Plug in hybrids are the most useless. Range is nowhere near 27km. How long battery lasts if you drive it in Sport mode? How much battery replacement cost after 8 years of use? I am shocked that these cars are sold on used market. Who would buy this built-in obsolescence?
For people that have kids and want a Porsche this is a good option you still get a Porsche and u have room for the family.😀

The electric range is not long but will be enough to get the kids so school and go to work and back🤗
