The 2010 Porsche Cayenne S Hybrid, part of the 957 generation, marked Porsche's first foray into hybrid technology. Journalists generally lauded its sophisticated powertrain, combining a supercharged V6 with an electric motor for strong acceleration and improved fuel economy compared to V8 models, without sacrificing Porsche's signature driving dynamics. While not infamous, its initial high price point and the concept of a hybrid Porsche SUV were novel. Today, it remains a compelling option for those seeking a luxurious, capable SUV with a nod to efficiency, suitable for daily commuting, family transport, and light off-roading, offering a blend of performance and practicality.
Owning a 2010 Porsche Cayenne Hybrid (957) entails higher-than-average operating expenses. Fuel efficiency is better than non-hybrid V8 Cayennes, but still not exceptional. Reliability concerns often include issues with the transfer case, cardan shaft, and air suspension, leading to significant repair costs. Hybrid-specific components like the battery pack can also be extremely expensive to replace if they fail. Maintenance costs for parts and labor are generally high due to the Porsche brand and complexity of the hybrid system. Insurance costs are typically above average due to the vehicle's luxury classification and high repair costs.
