Today’s drivers know a thing or two about the importance of saving money at the pump, so it makes sense that hybrid options are becoming more common each year. At Porsche West Broward, you will be able to check out the two plug-in hybrid models offered by the German automaker.
What Hybrid Options Does Porsche Offer?
Porsche hybrid models include the Cayenne and Panamera. The Cayenne model is one of the most popular SUVs in the Porsche lineup, while the Panamera is a longtime favorite compact car for many drivers.
Cayenne E-Hybrid
The plug-in Cayenne base model has a 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 with an E-Machine motor that generates 463 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque. An eight-speed Tiptronic S transmission is paired with the Porsche Active Suspension Management system and 20-inch AeroDesign wheels for a sporty driving experience. Some standard equipment includes heated front seats, rear comfort seats with folding 40/20/40 capability, LED-Matrix headlights, and a smartphone compartment with wireless charging.
Panamera 4 E-Hybrid
The Panamera 4 plug-in hybrid has a 2.9-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine with an E-Machine motor that produces 455 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque. This hybrid has an eight-speed transmission, 19-inch Panamera wheels, and the Porsche Traction Management System with active all-wheel drive. Standard equipment includes a panoramic roof system, a rain-sensing windshield washer system, LED headlights, partial leather seats, heated front seats, and 60/40 folding rear seats.
Is a Plug-In Hybrid Better?
In general, a plug-in hybrid is typically a better option since the electric motor has a greater capacity. When you drive a plug-in hybrid, the electric battery is the main source of power for the vehicle, so as long as you charge your plug-in vehicle every night, you will save significant money on gas. A hybrid vehicle, on the other hand, relies on electric power at slow speeds, so it might not save you as much money if you have a long commute every day.
How Long Should You Test Drive a Hybrid at Your Porsche Dealership?
The key to a successful test drive is spending enough time in the car to get a feel for the vehicle’s handling on various roads. For a hybrid, you also need to be sure to enter a driver condition that will push the hybrid motor into an all-electric mode, so you can assess the electric handling. Most of the time, a 30-minute test drive is usually enough to survey your new vehicle. If you want a longer test drive, you can schedule it online.
Hybrid vehicles are excellent options if you want to save some cash at the pump and cut down on your carbon footprint at the same time. Porsche hybrid models are ahead of the game in terms of responsive handling and luxurious materials. Book your test drive appointment when you contact Porsche West Broward today.
