2021 Porsche Cayenne Turbo S e-Hybrid - The 670hp Eco Beast You Need to Drive (POV Binaural Audio)

[@bemoremad]

Twin-turbo V8 Plug-in Hybrid. Now that's something I wasn't expecting to hear about. I hope tech like this can trim weight and trickle down to keep performance V8's alive.

[@路遥-w5w]

when your v8 is running in a crowded traffic, the electric part is freaking perfect(I mean with the AC on)

[@zaneprice6560]

The peddle design sounds really cool, knowing where that power is must be satisfying!

[@TedwardDrives]

Such a surprise feature. Genius technology and simple

[@flacjacket]

@@TedwardDrives My wife's 958 (2015) Cayenne S E-Hybrid does that too, it's not really a detent per se but it definitely communicates to you exactly where the threshold is. Porsche are masters of input feel.

[@tahzai2025]

I just love how that Porsche looks especially the rear and the interior

Ill bet this reaches 60 faster than you can say its whole name

[@NOrlando952]

I tried it. You are correct. Me and my roommate have been trying to say it as fast as possible. 🤣

[@enai-lo]

Imagine with "Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid Sport Turismo", I tried and it took me 4.1 sec to with pronouncing Porsche in the right prononciation

[@theerazor2374]

2:32 Here's a quick tip when looking for the location of the fuel filler door: The little arrow next to the fuel pump icon in the gauge indicates the location of the door!

[@TedwardDrives]

that's not on every car. It's helpful when it's there.

[@Slyons89]

I'm very impressed by how quiet the interior is especially over these new england back roads. If my MX-5 had an electric mode it would just make it impossible to ignore all the creaks and rattles.

[@hadytarabay]

I haven’t watched your video for a while…. Now i am backk!! Good to be backk and listen to you excited voice and drives

[@TedwardDrives]

Welcome back!

[@Cirrus2000]

The thing I love about Porsche is that they like to understate their claims of statistics. It’ll say a car goes 0 to 60 in 4 seconds when it really does it in 3.6. Brilliant 😆

[@tipnoel]

Got a DS 7 E-Tense, which is a french "luxury" midsize SUV. It has about the same range in full electric, half the power from half the cylinders but much less mass to move around, for half the price (≈$85k MSRP with every box ticked like mine). It's obviously nowhere near as capable as the Cayenne but I wasn't expecting it to be. Anyway, You made a very good point : I was very skeptical about switching from an ICE to an EV so going for a PHEV instead was a softer change that made me enjoy the best of both worlds, even though I still wouldn't want an EV as my only car, me being a car nut. It must be noted that it's hard for these very compromised vehicles to make sense. I'm aware that I can fully enjoy my baby only because I am lucky enough to meet very specific criteria that make a PHEV the best option (if I had disposable income I'd go for the Porsche obviously 😂) On a side note : I find it fun to play with all the systems to get the most out of the hybrid drivetrain on the commutes, makes them way less boring. A few words on regen braking : the brake pedal is set up in a 2 stage configuration : the first stage of travel (not much force required) ramps up the regen and then the second stage (requires much more force) uses the actual brakes. There's also a very distinct difference between the two stages, like on the Cayenne's throttle pedal. I do Respect the Drive and don't hug the leftmost lanes when I'm not overtaking. Bonsoir from France 🇫🇷 :)

[@jehl1963]

Forgive me if I'm repeating the obvious, but for the fuel filler, most modern cars have an indicator on the fuel gauge which tells you which side of the car the fuel filler is on. Next to the symbol for gas (usually a fuel pump icon) will be a small arrow or triangle. It will be to the right of the pump for cars with fillers on the right, and to the left of the pump for fillers on the left.

[@MrLeeHuffman]

Love the videos ted a sight i wont be seeing for awhile good to see it from your pov keep up the work

[@DoSum4Me]

Awesome! Probably my all time dream vehicle.

[@cucamongaduke3600]

I had a BMW 530e and, for real, that gaming of the all electric was always my goal. I was averaging 64.4 mpg combined and I felt like I was beating the game.

[@butchrowerakamannyfraker955]

That's a good point about running it on the batteries when you're just in normal traffic also you save on the engine putting less miles on it and then just use the gas for when you want to rip it around and beat on it

[@AdamS32828]

1:28 probably due to where the electric motor’s power peak lines up with the gas engine’s peak. If they don’t peak at the same times then you won’t get 100% compounding figures!

[@TedwardDrives]

Best explanation so far

[@AdamS32828]

@@TedwardDrives Happy to help 👍🏼😎

[@arzheus1313]

Is there limitations in place for not cold-revving the engine? Seems like if you drive it in hybrid mode, and you push through to the point where the engine kicks in, it will still be stone cold and rev it's nuts off 😅

Another excellent review! We have a BMW X5 45E which is a similar concept but far cheaper and yes, we drive it a lot in EV mode around town, but then have the turbo 6 B-58 to add to the fun when we want/need it. Sure, I would prefer the Porsche but not at twice the price of the X5 45e.

[@TKgolf4life]

How beautiful are these roads

[@ryanmoore27]

Love the video, and showing the difference between driving in electric and then having the engine activate is great to see. Would love to see you cover a Porsche Panamera 4 E-Hybrid (non Turbo) in a video.

It would be cool if they combined the 630 hp v8 from the normal Turbo S, with the electric motors from this car.

[@christianstoianov]

That's an awesome grocery getter but I'm wondering about something. If you start driving as you did on full electric mode and then push the pedal to the floor (engine starts running) isn't that pretty bad for the engine? Because the engine immediately after being started goes to like 4-5K rpms or even more. How does the oil warm up so fast to compensate the wear on the engine if it even warms up? Like for example when we all start our cars with ICE we wait at least for the rpms to drop and then we start moving with really low load (1500-2000 rpms) In the circumstance of this porsche, the engine is getting pretty high loads. Is there a system that warms up the oil while you are driving on electric power?

[@Maximum_777]

@@TedwardDrives Legitimate question, so I'd imagine, while cold, it's not a good idea to be driving in electric only mode, then for the first engine start of the day, be asking it to pull to redline straight from being literally off and cold, but is that just me being use to "old" engines that don't run well cold and most modern engines, especially since the introduction of auto stop start, are built to take that? or does it like preheat the engine? not allow for a pull on first start? I'm so curious, I just feel like that can't be good for the engine.

[@jasonpocsatko]

FYI - if you look at the gas gauge there’s a small arrow that tells you which side you fill up on.

In order to go full electric, you need to have a charging station at home, at least 10KWh; you have to have a very good charging infrastructure, a warm weather (temperatures not lower than 10-15 degrees Celsius), a lot of patience with the charging time at the charging station, if you ever find one available. Electric cars are only for the city, if you go over 60miles/h the battery will be depleted very fast. I have an electric car and I know; EV is not the future. We are not greener if we use EV's, think about the production of the battery and none talks about how are those batteries going to be recycled, tones of batteries will fill the junk yards. A hybrid has 6-1000 pounds extra weight that needs to be carried around all the time; you have heard the tires trying very hard to keep this 5700 pounds car on the road at 60mph; a lot of mass, very high placed, no dynamics whatsoever. It is good as a bus, but not for speed in corners. This is a very good car, but it is not a sport car, it is an efficient-ish huge SUV. If you want a huge car like this to perform best, you have to take into consideration Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT; you can find a review of that car on Tedward also. That is a sport machine. the prices are considerably close.

[@michaelhazelwood5108]
