Get Cayenne E-Hybrid Features Guide for Porsche Cayenne SUV Fourth Generation (2026)

How do I open the charge port door and begin the charging process?

The charge port door is located on the le side

of the Cayenne right past the rear passenger door.

Before opening, ensure the transmission is in the

position, the ignition is switched o, and the

vehicle is unlocked.

1. Open the charge port door by pressing

on the rear part of the door as shown in

the rst image.

2. Press the release button (arrow) and insert

the vehicle plug into the charge port. Aer

letting go of the release button (arrow), the

vehicle plug is now locked and the charging

process will begin. A light indicator B and C

will show the state of charge of the battery

and the locking status of the plug.

What do I need to know about the dierent E-Hybrid driving modes?

E-POWER Mode

The E-POWER driving program is activated by

default and allows driving purely on electric power.

Aer the ignition is switched o, the selected

driving mode automatically switches back to

E-POWER when the prerequisites for this driving

program are met. The electric range depends on

the driving style, the climatic conditions, and the

use of energy-intensive loads.

The availability of electric power is indicated

through this icon . This indicates you can

drive via the E-POWER mode.

HYBRID Mode

Three dierent operating modes, HYBRID AUTO, E-HOLD and E-CHARGE, are available in

the HYBRID driving mode:

• HYBRID AUTO mode: HYBRID AUTO mode is activated by default in switch position H.

It enables the most ecient operation of the vehicle to be predicted taking into

consideration route-specic data from the Navigation system and the current speed.

HYBRID AUTO mode is automatically activated as soon as the high-voltage battery

charge is too low for operation in the E-POWER driving program.

• E-HOLD mode: E-HOLD mode enables the currently available high-voltage battery

charge to be deliberately maintained so the vehicle can run purely on electric power

later on, for example. Boosting and restricted electric driving are still possible in this

driving program; however, this can result in uctuations in the charge.

Activating E-HOLD Mode: HYBRID > MODE > E-HOLD

E-CHARGE Mode

In E-CHARGE mode, the high-voltage battery can be charged while driving. This mode is

useful for specically increasing the electric range, particularly on journeys with a high level

of combustion engine driving. The high-voltage battery can be charged when driving on a

highway, for example, so that an urban route can then be driven using purely electric power.

Activating E-CHARGE Mode:

The high-voltage battery is not fully charged.

HYBRID > MODE > E-CHARGE

SPORT Mode

The combustion engine is always in operation in the SPORT driving program. The engine

and transmission also have a sporty tuning. The high-voltage battery is charged to a

minimum level to provide the boost function.

SPORT PLUS Mode

The combustion engine is always in operation in the SPORT PLUS driving program.

The engine and transmission also have the sportiest tuning possible. The high-voltage

battery is fully charged as quickly as possible to enable more frequent and longer boosting.
