Details on Cayenne Diesel and Hybrid
September 11, 2008

Autobild reported that Porsche CEO Wendelin Wiedeking confirmed that the Cayenne will receive a version of Volkswagen’s 3.0 liter V6 TDI engine in 2009. The diesel engine is rated at 240 hp and 406 lb-ft of torque in the VW, and is expected to be the same in the Cayenne. It also gets 24.5 mpg in Europe’s combined cycle.
In 2010, a hybrid Cayenne will also be introduced, and rumors point to it being a diesel-lithium-ion combination. The hybrid Cayenne is expected to have an electric-only range of up to 155 miles. All this information points to a fairly high cost of entry for the upcoming hybrid Cayenne.
