Porsche Cayenne Coupe to get hybrid variant soon

By RELAXNEWS | 21 May 2019


STUTTGART: Porsche has confirmed that a hybrid version of the 2020 Cayenne Coupe is on its way.

In March, Porsche announced that the Cayenne will be getting a Coupe treatment for the 2020 model year following in the footsteps of its SUV-manufacturing competitors like BMW and Mercedes Benz.

Three combustion-engine variants — a base model, S version, and Turbo version — of the model are slated to launch later this year; a company executive last week revealed that the coupe will also be available as a plug-in hybrid called the Cayenne Coupe E-Hybrid.



The source only confirmed that, "You can expect a hybrid version;" they did not reveal when it would launch, but it's likely that the E-Hybrid will be available after the petrol-powered versions hit the market.

As a hybrid version of the standard Cayenne already exists, we can assume that the coupe iteration will be equipped with the same turbocharged V6 engine paired with a 14.1 kWh lithium-ion battery.

The Cayenne E-Hybrid has a starting price of US$79,900 and, generally speaking, the respective coupe version of each Cayenne trim is priced between about US$5,000 to US$10,000 more; the price of the upcoming Cayenne Coupe E-Hybrid will probably come in between US$85,000 and US$90,000.
