The Cayenne E-Hybrid combines a 3.0-litre V6 engine with an electric motor for a total output of 464bhp. What's more, it can sprint from 0-62mph in 4.9 seconds and run purely on electric power for up to 46 miles (officially). Unfortunately, the big, heavy drive battery compromises boot space and handling, while the brakes aren't as precise as those of non-hybrid models.

E-Hybrid

Coupe

Porsche is best known as the quintessential sports car maker, but its line-up is increasingly diverse, interesting and successful, from its SUV family to the Panamera hatchback and shooting brake and, in time, a planned family of electric vehicles.

Whatever your choice, What Car?’s testers rate the cars highly; Porsche has an unusually high percentage of five and four-star cars.

Without exception, its sports cars are class leaders or among the class leaders, standing out for combining driving thrills with surprising luxury and comfort. Likewise, its SUVs are among the sharpest handling, as well as offering high levels of practicality and quality. Meanwhile, the Panamera is a true rival to the very best large executive saloons.

Porsche also sees itself as an electric car pioneer and has already enjoyed sales success with its plug-in hybrid range. Its first all-electric sports car is imminent, signalling the firm’s intent to stay relevant for many years to come.

CAYENNE

The entry-level model, which is simply called the Cayenne Coupé, comes with cruise control, heated and eight-way electrically adjustable front seats, front and rear parking sensors, a rear-view camera, two-zone climate control and wireless phone-charging. We'd be tempted to add air suspension, adaptive cruise control and 14-way adjustable seats, though.

Porsche Cayenne Coupé

As with the regular Cayenne, the biggest strengths of the Porsche Cayenne Coupé are its handling and performance. And while we reckon the V8-engined S is the sweet spot in the range, we can see why you might be tempted to upgrade to the GTS.

<h2>What we're looking for:</h2><ul><li>Strong performance</li> <li>Precise, feelsome steering</li> <li>Agile, entertaining handling</li> <li>Reasonable ride comfort</li> <li>Smart and practical interior</li></ul>

Needing a&nbsp;practical load-lugger doesn't mean you need to scrimp on power and sporting prowess. In fact, most sporty manufacturers now have dedicated sports SUVs in their line-up with 0-62mph times to rival cars half their size.
