We are looking to buy a cayenne e hybrid, to be a daily driver. Looked at a few 22 model variants and also drove a 24 model year. Both seemed very nice. I’m asking for any owners real world experience of this model, reliability and common foibles if any?
Any advice gratefully received.
Thanks in advance

I've had a MY24 (latest version) Cayenne E-Hybrid for 10 months and 10,000 miles.

Car has been faultless and a pleasure to own. The Air Suspension is must have option in my opinion. 44 to 50+ real world electric miles range.

For me it's the best all round family car i've owned and with over 50% electric miles covered (you can check in the app), very economical to run too

I had a Nov 22 Reg V6 Hybrid for 6 months, drove fine with Air Suspension and PDCC option, 100% reliable. Only downside when the battery is gone you can really feel the weight, also E range not brilliant in summer with nothing on it would see 22-23 e miles under normal driving, winter 15. Also when you put it in re gen mode MPG would drop to low 20s on a run under this around town. Have driven the current one and it’s vastly improved in this area, same for suspension steering, dash layout etc.

2024 car here. Faultless so far. As above, 45-52 mile electric range. Has been wonderful so far.

Completely agree. My wife drives a March 2023 registered E-Hybrid Coupe. 5,000 miles so far, electric range 45 - 55 miles. It does everything that we
expected. In terms of options, air suspension is a high recommendation.

We ran a 2021 model for 3 years and 50,000km and it was a great family load carrier. Used a lot to ferry mountain bikes about and also for the annual ski trips.

The battery on the earlier (2019-2023) 3rd gen models is a bit weak though but we didn’t switch to a 2024 one because the boot space is (IMHO) seriously compromised by the bigger battery.

No complaints, lovely ride on the air suspension. Would regard the real wheel steering as an essential option as it’s a long car. We only got rid of it because it was something of an unlucky car (for us, nothing to do with the car as such) and was hit a few times by people who couldn’t apparently see the gigantic blue thing and had a nasty accident when Porsche only put 3 wheels on the car properly at the winter wheel swap and the 4th fell off……

Replaced by a taycan turbo (for fun days and shorter trips) and an x5 hybrid as the load carrier/family wagon.
