What is the 0-100 km/h acceleration time for the Porsche Cayenne?

The Porsche Cayenne's 0-100 km/h acceleration times are 5.2 seconds for the 2.9T model, 6.2 seconds for the 3.0T model, and 3.9 seconds for the 4.0T model. The Cayenne is a mid-to-large-sized SUV under the Porsche brand, with a wheelbase of 2895 mm, length of 4918 mm, width of 1983 mm, and height of 1696 mm. The Cayenne features a multi-link independent suspension at both the front and rear. The 3.0-liter turbocharged engine delivers a maximum power of 250 kW and a maximum torque of 450 Nm, with peak power achieved between 5300 to 6400 rpm. The 2.9-liter twin-turbo engine produces 324 kW of maximum power and 550 Nm of maximum torque, with peak power between 5700 to 6600 rpm. The 4.0-liter twin-turbo engine generates 404 kW of maximum power and 770 Nm of maximum torque, with peak power between 5750 to 6000 rpm. All three engines are paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
Last time I specifically checked the acceleration data of the Porsche Cayenne, and the differences between various powertrain versions are quite significant. The standard 3.0T V6 model accelerates from 0-100 km/h in about 6 seconds, delivering substantial thrust when you step on the gas. If you opt for the V8-powered GTS version, it can sprint to 100 km/h in just 4.8 seconds, with an especially exhilarating exhaust note. The top-tier Turbo GT is even more impressive, achieving 0-100 km/h in 3.3 seconds, essentially dominating every traffic light start. However, in real-world driving, you need to consider road conditions and temperature, as official figures are measured under ideal conditions. By the way, the hybrid version offers stronger initial burst power thanks to the electric motor, so I recommend focusing on experiencing its launch control during a test drive.
