Fuel Consumption

Fuel Consumption

The Porsche Cayenne S Hybrid achieves a much lower nominal fuel consumption rate than the conventional Cayenne S with an equivalent output as well as an extremely sporty performance. The individual driving style has a greater effect on hybrid vehicles than vehicles with a conventional drive.

"Hybrid-adapted" driving means:
- driving with foresight, releasing accelerator pedal early
- inducing long coasting phases by deliberately lifting your foot completely off the accelerator
- from an energy perspective, coasting is much more effective than recuperation.
- performing long even braking actions with minimal brake pedal travel is the best way to achieve a high proportion of recuperative power
- avoid operating at full throttle
- if the charge state is high, drive under electric power deliberately until the charge state moves back to the central area
- continuous use of the E-power button or Sport mode increases fuel consumption
- economical use of auxiliary consumers such as seat heating, heated rear window, etc.

The reduction in fuel consumption becomes particularly noticeable if an appropriate driving style is adopted in urban environments.
