2017 Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid Platinum Edition Review
Gas, hybrid, plug-in, fully electric; that’s the standard progression a vehicle takes on its path to greener pastures. Take this Cayenne, for example. Introduced 15 years ago, Porsche added a hybrid variant in 2011 and upgraded its capabilities with a plug 4 years later. Over that time, I’ve tested every Cayenne model and this week it’s time to see what this plug-in, or E-Hybrid, has to offer in 2017.Commonly referred to as PHEVs – plug-ins are typical hybrids with batteries that can be charged by plugging them into a standard electrical outlet or high-voltage charging station. As long as you’re diligent about it, PHEVs can store enough electricity to greatly reduce the need for the gas engine, thus benefiting MPGs and greenhouse gas emissions.
