The new 2021 Porsche Cayenne plug-in hybrid family (a total of four versions) has received new, improved EPA range and efficiency ratings, thanks to higher battery capacity.

The family consists of a total of four models, just like in the previous year:

2021 Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid
2021 Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid Coupe
2021 Porsche Cayenne Turbo S E-Hybrid
2021 Porsche Cayenne Turbo S E-Hybrid Coupe

Compared to the 2020 model year, the battery capacity has increased by almost 27%, from 14.1 kWh to 17.9 kWh. It allowed to increase the all-electric range from 10-12 miles to 14-16 miles (23-26 km), depending on version, according to the EPA. The WLTP range is up to 48 km (30 miles).

2021 Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid (& Coupe version)

The first two versions - Cayenne E-Hybrid and Cayenne E-Hybrid Coupe are rated the same, although we guess that in the real world there will be some small differences due to aerodynamics.

The all-electric range is up to 16 miles (25.7 km), while the total range is 430 miles (692 km).

The combined energy consumption in EV mode is 46 MPGe: 733 Wh/mi (455 Wh/km), more than twice higher than in the hybrid mode.

Similarly, the Cayenne Turbo S E-Hybrid and Cayenne Turbo S E-Hybrid Coupe were rated the same, at 14 miles (22.5 km) of all-electric range and a total range of 370 miles (595 km).

The combined energy consumption in EV mode is slightly higher in the "Turbo S" versions: 42 MPGe: 802 Wh/mi (499 Wh/km).
