After presenting the redesigned Porsche Cayenne and its most powerful version, the Turbo E-Hybrid, the Stuttgart-based company expands its range with a third version, the Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid.

Cayenne S E-Hybrid is powered by a 3.0L turbo V6 engine (353 hp/260 kW) combined with an electric motor (176 hp/130 kW) with a total power of 529 hp (382 kW) and 533 lb-ft (750 Nm) of torque . It reaches 62 mph (100 km/h) in 4.7 seconds with a top speed of 263 km/h (163 mph). It is equipped with a 25.9 kWh battery that enables a range of 90 km. Thanks to the AC charger, the battery is charged with a charging power of up to 11 kW in less than two and a half hours.

This version of the Cayenne found its place between the Cayenne E-Hybrid and the Cayenne Turbo E-Hybrid. It is equipped with an adaptive suspension that provides stability and exceptional driving comfort, depending on the chosen driving mode, an exhaust system with two double ends in brushed stainless steel, matrix LED lights (HD matrix LED headlights are an option). Innovative technology with 2 compression chambers and 2 valves to adjust the capacity of the chambers enables a very wide range of adjustment of the compression and rebound of the shock absorber, from extremely comfortable and soft to very “hard” and sporty shock absorption. The car is available in SUV (silver) and SUV Coupé (black) body versions.

Inside, eight-way adjustable seats, a Sport Chrono package that includes a mode switch for selecting the desired driving program, stainless steel gas and brake pedals, as well as a Diamar interior package painted in Silver Shade, are some of the equipment that puts the driver experience on higher level. For an extra charge, Porsche offers a new passenger display, including in-car video functions, as well as a new air quality system to protect against particles and pollutants.

2024 Škoda Kodiaq

The premiere of the new generation Škoda Kodiaq is approaching, and the Czech car manufacturer has revealed what the new SUV will look like.

“The all-new Kodiaq is stylish and dynamic with a strikingly distinctive look. In accordance with the principle ‘form follows function’, we have implemented the first elements of our future design language, Modern Solid. The design clearly emphasizes practicality while at the same time providing even better aerodynamics through its dynamic shape,” said Oliver Stefani, director of Škoda Design.

The new Kodiaq is bigger in size than its predecessor and provides more space for passengers, a recognizable front part. It is equipped with square wheel arches under which are 17- to 20-inch wheels, a new hood, a solid rear bumper, a wide C-shaped light signature that stretches towards the middle and the second generation of TOP LED Matrix headlights with crystal design elements are just a few from the elements that adorn the new generation of this SUV.

Škoda hasn’t revealed what powertrain the new Kodiaq will use, so we’ll have to wait for the official premiere next week.

The world premiere will be broadcast live on Škoda Storyboard as well as on Škoda’s YouTube channel on October 4, 2023 at 18:45 CEST.
