2024 Cayenne e hybrid

[Claret m]

Hi All

I am experiencing a number of intermittent problems with my car. Just wondering if anyone has also had problems.

Also, does anyone know the reason for the stop order on early 24 MY cars.

Thanks in advance.

We’ve had ours since March 24. Just under 5k miles. Touch wood, no issues so far. Luckily whilst having a tracker installed (insurance requirement) the installer found that both battery terminals where loose on the 12v battery in the driver side footwell. May suggest that you check that.

Otherwise it has been perfect.

The delays (ours sat at the OPC from Sept 23 waiting for updates) were numerous. I believe a sensor, a cable, and a couple of separate software updates.

No issues with ours so far.
Having come out of a Taycan Sport Turismo (don't ask about the depreciation...) I think the Cayenne e-hybrid is the perfect mix of ICE and EV. We're getting around 40 miles on the battery and the hybrid mode is seamless.

Thanks Jack for the info.

I hope it continues to be fine for you.

All the best

We are consistently getting the quoted range of 47-48 miles of battery-only range on the weekends running around doing errands and taking kids to activities, and actually seen 52+ miles a couple of times.

We did 1500 miles on the last tank of petrol on a mix of local commuting, day trips, and longer (70+ mile) runs. For our use case it’s absolutely perfect. Even without switching to an EV charge tariff it’s working out at over £250 pcm cheaper in running costs than our previous car, a new Defender D240.

Same here and getting 45 to 50 miles EV regularly (40 in winter) now its warmed up. It really is a great all round car. Nearly done 7,000 miles since delivery in November.

Yes, we are seeking 40 plus miles consistently on battery only and 50 plus on some occasions. Best move we have made from EV to e-hybrid.

I have just switched to Octopus Agile, it's early days but so far very impressed, I think it really works for hybrids. Every day at 16:00 they produce the charges for the next day in 30 minutes segments. If you can avoid use between 16:00 to 20:00 it appears to be cheaper than a standard tariff. One thing that surprised me was that frequently the lowest rate is between 13:00 and 16:00, which is great for an afternoon top up. Last Sunday they actually paid me to charge the car and run the dryer!
