Part of the entirely restyled Cayenne family, the plug-in hybrid version of Porsche’s premium SUV will be unveiled in a world premiere in Paris.

The model will share the spotlight on the Porsche stand with two other hybrids: the Panamera S E-Hybrid and the 918 Spyder.

The Cayenne S E-Hybrid houses exactly the same technology as the Panamera S E-Hybrid: a 333hp V6 engine paired with a 95hp electric motor, which allows the SUV to travel 36km in all-electric mode.

Porsche announces 0 to 100km/h acceleration in just 5.9 seconds and a top speed of 243km/h.

The battery charges in just two and a half hours through an industrial power outlet, or just under four hours through a standard outlet.

Like the rest of the new , the hybrid has a wide grille like the one seen on the Macan. On the inside, Porsche offers a new sports steering wheel derived from the one seen on the 918 Spyder.

Prices are expected to range from €68,000 for the Cayenne Diesel to €130,000 for the Turbo version. The Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid is expected to sell for around €84,000.
