2011 Porsche Cayenne Review

The new generation Porsche Cayenne will make its world premiere presentation of the 2010 Geneva Motor Show. Each model within the Porsche Cayenne is a trendsetter in terms of efficiency and production, and compared to previous models, offering improved fuel economy performance up to 23 percent more.

The highlight of the new line-up is technically advanced in parallel with the Hybrid Drive-train, which combines sporty performance eight-cylinder with six-cylinder economy and a unique 'way to sail "for even lower fuel consumption.

 

Weight reduction

The choice of optimal weight materials combined with changes in the overall design of the Porsche Cayenne - as a new drive and additional drive current transmission of light from the wheel - led to the total mass of the Porsche Cayenne S, for example, reduced by 180 kg. This weight reduction is clearly a very positive effect not only on fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, but also in performance, agility and handling. Therefore, the extension of new features and technologies throughout the Porsche Cayenne ensures that offers a higher quality of conduct both on and off the road, with more safety and comfort of passengers.

 

Efficiency

The new Porsche Cayenne has been developed in accordance with the principles of smart Porsche performance: more power with less fuel, greater efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions. Thisphilosophy is evident in the introduction of a new eight-speed Tiptronic S automatic transmission, with a wider spread of gear ratios, Auto Start Stop function, optimize the thermal management of engine and transmission cooling, network recovery edge, intelligent lightweight construction.

 

Exterior Interior design costs and high quality

In general, the new Cayenne is 48 mm longer than its predecessor. But despite its larger exterior dimensions, the design language of the new generation of the Porsche Cayenne is more compact style and dynamic. The new design of the new Porsche Cayenne model incorporates the extent and nature of the Porsche Cayenne sport is clearly evident, as noted in the shape and design of the car so typical of Porsche, are clearly defined.

 

The extra space in the interior and greater ease of daily use is provided by a wheelbase 40 mm longer. The most significant feature of the new brand of high quality inside is mounted on the center console that extends up around the shifter, which gives the inside 'cockpit' character typically Porsche. The rear bench can be moved back and forth by the angle of seat 160 mm and has three position settings.

 

Range

At least three of the five versions of the new Porsche Cayenne consume less than ten liters of fuel per 100 km on the European Driving Cycle and two models that emit less than 200 grams of CO2 per km.

Porsche Cayenne

Porsche Cayenne range from 3.6-liter petrol V6 Cayenne. Power is increased to 300 bhp, but fuel consumption has fallen by a fifth - with the eight-speed automatic Tiptronic S ratios - 28.5 mpg combined (9.9 ltr/100km) announced the new European DrivingCycle.

 

Hybrid Porsche Cayenne S

A 193 g / km, Porsche Cayenne S Hybrid is not only the clean version of the Cayenne with the lowest level of emissions, but also the cleanest Porsche through the company's total portfolio. Porsche Cayenne S Hybrid is equipped with a 333 hp drive-train, which returns 34.4mpg combined consumption (8.2 litres/100km) and CO2 emissions of 193 g / km.

 

In the intelligent interaction between the compressor 3.0-liter V6 and electric motor, focusing Hybrid Porsche Cayenne S at maximum efficiency of the overall powertrain system. Depending on driving conditions, the vehicle reaches the target is a single drive unit to operate independently or in conjunction with training units both to work together. In this context, the 34 kW (47 hp) electric motor is of course the ideal partner for the engine of 333 hp compressor with its high torque at low revs. Together, the two drive units provide a maximum output of 380 hp and maximum torque of 580 Nm at just 1000 rpm, with the same kind of performance that the Porsche Cayenne S with its conventional gasoline engine V8.

 

The two drive units are connected together by a clutch separator orchestrated by the director computer hybrid. This coupling is essential to drive the separator S Porsche Cayenne Hybrid or electric motor or combustion engine alone, or with both drives to work together. Under relaxed operating conditions, for example in a residential area, this driver to cover short distances to electric power alone, and therefore entirely free of emissions (and with almost no noise). It is also possible to operate in this mode at speeds approaching 40 mph (60 km / h).

 

However, to ensure the acceleration when you go faster, the electric motor can operate to provide additional information to be pierced "greenhouse". Intelligent management of the separator clutch makes a transition between the discrete-specific hybrid driving mode, and that is comfortable and easy for the driver. At the same time, the internal combustion engine can be completely powered up to 97 mph (156 km / h), is completely removed from the transmission when the power is no longer necessary. In this mode, the so-called sailing ", cruising along without power, the drag forces exerted by the internal combustion engine and the braking effect is eliminated by lowering the interest of the immune system and thus continue to benefit from the consumption of fuel.

Porsche Cayenne Diesel

Porsche Cayenne Diesel 240 hp (176 kW), three-liter V6 with 550 Nm of pulling power. The new car, the power line is now offering lower fuel consumption by 20 percent, with a combined 38.2 mpg (7.4 ltr/100 km) grew by 30.4 mpg (9.3 ltr/100km ). Therefore, CO2 emissions are 195 g / km.

Porsche Cayenne S

The maximum of more power with less fuel is demonstrated by the Porsche Cayenne S, now has a 400 hp high-torque 4.8-liter gasoline V8. With 15 hp more than its predecessor, along with greater economy, this new engine offers much better performance in general, all models of the new generation Porsche Cayenne. In particular, fuel consumption is 23 percent, with a combined 26.9 mpg (10.5 l/100 km).

 

Porsche Cayenne Turbo

Efficiency is also a feature of the Porsche Cayenne Turbo, with its 500 hp (368 kW), twin-turbo 4.8-liter V8 returns 27.6 mpg combined (11.5 ltr/100 km) cycle ride Europe. This is another 23 per cent less than its predecessor.
