Should I Buy the Hybrid or Pure Gasoline Cayenne in 2021?
2 Answers
In 2021, the Porsche Cayenne Hybrid is more worth buying for the following reasons: 1. Excellent Handling: The steering wheel is flexible, and acceleration is very fast. The official 0-100 km/h acceleration time for the Chinese version of the Cayenne Hybrid (2.0t) is 5.6 seconds, which is faster than the pure gasoline-powered Cayenne. The latest COUPE version (3.0t) has now improved this figure to 3.8 seconds, making it one of the fastest SUVs in the world. 2. Reasonable Price: The hybrid Cayenne is much more expensive than the pure gasoline Cayenne in terms of cost. Including purchase tax, the total price easily exceeds 1.1 million RMB, but the final settlement price for the hybrid is about 100,000 RMB lower than the pure gasoline version. 3. No Difference in Appearance: There is no significant difference in the exterior and interior between the hybrid version and the pure gasoline version.
Considering the 2021 Cayenne hybrid or pure gasoline version, I think the hybrid is more cost-effective from a daily expense perspective. The hybrid version is more expensive upfront, requiring a higher initial investment, but it saves an impressive amount on fuel, especially in traffic jams where it can run on electricity, drastically reducing fuel costs. Over the long term, driving for five or six years, the savings on fuel can offset the initial price difference. Some regions also offer tax incentives for hybrids, so check your local policies. However, the battery may degrade after a few years, and replacement costs are high; the pure gasoline version is cheaper to buy, has simpler maintenance, and gas stations are everywhere, but high fuel consumption is a drawback. If you drive long distances frequently, the pure gasoline version is more convenient for refueling; for city commuting, the hybrid is worth the investment. Overall, calculate carefully based on your budget, and don’t just look at the price tag.
