Behbehani Brothers' Porsche Centre Bahrain has unveiled the long-awaited 'second generation' Porsche Cayenne S Hybrid.
It combines the performance of an eight-cylinder with the economy of a six-cylinder running on much less fuel.
These objectives result from the introduction of a new Tiptronic S eight-speed automatic transmission with Auto-Start-Stop and a wide spread of gear ratios, thermal management on the engine and transmission cooling circuit, on-board network recuperation, variable engine cut-off and intelligent lightweight construction.
"The new Cayenne features a completely new exterior and newly-defined luxury interior. Yet in today's world, it's clearly not enough to pour on more power; there must be a clear, simultaneous improvement in fuel consumption.
"We have optimised this objective to a maximum by reducing CO2 emissions of up to 26 per cent and a reduction in fuel consumption of up to 23 per cent less," said Deesch Papke, managing director of Porsche Middle East and Africa.
Anthony Raymond, brand manager of Porsche Centre Bahrain, is confident the new features will meet customer demands here.
"The new Cayenne represents the perfect balance between elegant design, powerful driving dynamics and a high level of comfort," he said.
The range starts with the 3.6-litre V6 Cayenne with an increased engine power to 300 bhp. With its eight-speed Tiptronic S transmission fuel consumption is down from the former model by no less than 20 per cent to 9.9 ltr/100 km.
The most powerful Cayenne Turbo, with its 500 bhp 4.8-litre V8 biturbo consumes now just 11.5 ltr/100 km representing also a reduction in fuel consumption of 23 per cent. At 193 g/km, the Cayenne S Hybrid is the cleanest version of the Cayenne with the lowest level of emissions.
