Powering the plug-in 2015 Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid is a V6 gasoline engine and an electric motor mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. Reviewers praise the Cayenne Hybrid for its ample power and brisk acceleration off the line. They note that its performance nearly matches that of the gas-only Cayenne, particularly when in sport mode. The 2015 Cayenne S E-Hybrid gets an EPA-estimated 21/24 mpg city/highway in gas-only mode and 47 mpg-equivalent in electric-only mode. Those estimates aren't quite as high as some other hybrid and diesel-powered SUVs. Reviewers say that although the Cayenne Hybrid is a heavy SUV, it offers agile handling. Grabby regenerative brakes are often disliked in hybrid vehicles, and some reviewers say the Porsche Cayenne Hybrid is no exception. Still, others say they operate much smoother than in most hybrids. Some automotive journalists report that the Cayenne Hybrid lacks steering feedback.


Reviewers praise the 2015 Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid for its upscale cabin, which they say offers high-end materials, including leather, wood and metal trims. Test drivers are impressed with the Cayenne Hybrid's pleasant front seats that make it easy for drivers to find a good position. They note that upgraded seats offer even more comfort. The back seats are also roomy, and their ability to recline and slide makes them versatile, reviewers add. The 2015 Cayenne Hybrid comes standard with Bluetooth, navigation, front and rear parking sensors, a rearview camera and the Porsche Communication Management infotainment system. Optional features include adaptive cruise control, a rear-seat entertainment system, wireless Internet access, satellite radio, a Burmester or Bose audio system, soft-close doors, lane departure warning and lane change assist. Automotive journalists appreciate the Cayenne Hybrid's easily-operated infotainment system. Although they say buttons on the dashboard and center console are plentiful, they agree that they're more convenient than touch-screen menu controls. Behind its rear seats, the Cayenne S E-Hybrid has 59.7 cubic feet of cargo space, which is less room than what most rivals have. Some test drivers also wish the Cayenne Hybrid offered more interior storage compartments.

Volkswagen Sales In USA Were Declining Rapidly Before Diesel Emissions Scandal

In 2012, Volkswagen's U.S. sales volume rose to the highest level since 1973. Through the first quarter of 2013, sales had risen in 31 consecutive months. Volkswagen Of America's market share grew from 1.4% in 2007 to 3.0% in 2012.



But then came 18 consecutive months of year-over-year U.S. sales decline for the Volkswagen brand, consecutive annual decreases in 2013 and 2014, and a market share drop back to 2.2%. As Volkswagen sales plunged, the overall U.S. market surged.

Following 2012’s elation,all of these disappointments came before we learned that the 2.0-liter diesel engine fitted to more than one in five Volkswagen of America products is a scandal ridden, emissions test cheating, NOx spewing anchor around VW’s neck.


The most recent evidence of disappointment came in the form of August 2015's sales results. Here they are in full, directly from VWoA's release from Tuesday, September 1, 2015.

Best Selling Top 20 Cars In America


The Toyota Camry was America's best selling passenger car in June 2015. Not since January, when Toyota's own Corolla was America's best selling car, has anything other than the Camry been America's most popular car.





The Camry and Corolla ranked one and two in June despite the declines both cars recorded. Among vehicles in the top 20, only six nameplates posted improved sales compared with June 2014. The Nissan Altima was the most popular of those cars, as the midsize Nissan posted its first increase since January.


The top 20 was filled by the two Toyotas, two Hondas, three Nissans, two Hyundais, two Kias, two Chevrolets, three Fords, and singles from Chrysler, BMW, Volkswagen, and Subaru.
