While it’s sibling the Volkswagen Touareg is proud to have an diesel option, and goes around shouting about it with plane-towing publicity stunts, the Porsche Cayenne is not going to have a diesel engine. Porsche says it will not go the diesel way with any of it’s vehicles, however to keep up with increasingly tough emmission standards it will turn to hybrid technology instead.

A hybrid version of the Porsche Cayenne will make it’s debut in 2009, and this hybrid drivetrain will eventually make it’s way to the Cayenne S and Cayenne Turbo as well.

    Design-wise, it’s really no match for the Toureg.

    Hybrid technology? … Perhaps it’ll do some good for the Earth but then again will it actually get the buyers’ vote?

    Let’s continue to ponder.

    Cheers!

    this porshe always look weird to me.. Don’t like the front design at all. Its just refused to blend in with the rest of the car design. But porshe is a porshe, image already established and u just have to retain it that way
