Porsche Cayenne (2011) [Reviews]

The new generation Porsche Cayenne will make its world debut at the Geneva Motor Show 2010. Each model in the Porsche Cayenne is a trendsetter in terms of efficiency and production, compared to older models that offer greater fuel economy to 23 percent more performance.

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

Selection of materials for optimal body weight, in combination with changes the whole concept of the Porsche Cayenne - as an active and a new extra-light four-wheel drive - led to the total weight of the Porsche Cayenne S, for example, which reduces to 180 kg. This diet is clearly a very positive impact not only on fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, but also the performance, agility and maneuverability. Thus width of the new features and new technologies for the Porsche Cayenne to make sure it offers better handling and on-and off-road and improved safety and comfort for passengers.

Greater efficiency

The new Porsche Cayenne is developed using the principles of Intelligent Performance Porsche: more power with less fuel, more efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions. Thisphilosophy is evident in the introduction of a new eight-speed Tiptronic S automatic transmission offers a wider spread of gears, an automatic start-stop function, optimized thermal management of engine and transmission cooling system, entertainment system board and intelligent lightweight construction.

Outside fresh and high quality interior

In total, the new Cayenne is 48 mm longer than its predecessor. But despite its larger exterior dimensions, representing the idiom of the new generation of the Porsche Cayenne a more compact style and dynamic. The new design of the new model incorporates the Porsche Cayenne in the range and the sporty character of the Porsche Cayenne is obvious that the peak shape and design of the car, so typical of Porsche is also clearly defined.

Extra space inside, and more for everyday use to ensure 40 mm longer wheelbase. The main feature in a new, high-quality interior is rising in the center console that extends from the surround and the gear selector that provides interior design typical of Porsche, the trademark "Cab". Behind the seat can move fore and aft 160 mm and the angle of the backrest has three different settings.

Range

Three of the five versions of the new Porsche Cayenne to spend less than ten liters of fuel per 100 km in the NEDC cycle, and the two models emit less than 200 grams of CO2 per kilometer.

Porsche Cayenne

Porsche Cayenne series begins with the 3.6-liter V6 gasoline-powered Cayenne. Power is increased to 300 horsepower, but fuel consumption has decreased by one fifth - in cooperation with the eight speed automatic transmission with Tiptronic S - Combined 28.5 mpg (9.9 ltr/100km) Cycle European driving again.

Hybrid Porsche Cayenne S

A 193 g / km, the hybrid Porsche Cayenne S is not only the clean version of the Cayenne with lower emissions, but also the cleanest Porsche throughout the portfolio of the Company. Hybrid features 333 hp Porsche Cayenne S car train back fuel consumption 34.4mpg combined (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.

Two disk drives are connected to each other switch, run by Manager Hybrid, the computer. This cut-off switch, it is important to drive the Porsche Cayenne Hybrid S is the internal combustion engine or electric motor alone, or both units to work together. Thus, the conditions for relaxed driving, for example, in a residential area, this allows the driver to cover short distances on electricity alone and, therefore, entirely free of emissions (and almost no noise). In addition, you can drive in this state at a speed 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.
