HOW do you make the best sport utility vehicle (SUV) better? You harness the power of electricity like Porsche has for its largest model, the Cayenne. The superiority of the Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid is built on the pillars of performance, luxury and efficiency.
The Cayenne has completed the transition from its controversial initial styling to the belle of the ball in its recent third-generation upgrades, to the point where it’s passing down its design language to other Porsches in the line. The familial elements are there, but the Porsche manages to do something unique. The shape demarks it as understated and, at a distance, it blends into the sea of other SUVs. However, draw closer and those in the know, or more specifically those in elevated income brackets, will recognise it. It’s like people telling you: ‘nice watch!’, but that one person gives you the thumbs up because they know you’re rolling a Seamaster 300M on your wrist. Specific to the E-Hybrid is the acid green badging. That colour is applied to the massive brake callipers.

CAN a car be more than one thing? In the case of the 2019 Porsche Cayenne, it is. This sport utility vehicle (SUV) has plenty of sport, a lot of utility, and is one hell of a vehicle.
In three generations, the Cayenne has gone from ugly duckling to the belle of the ball, so much so that the other Porsche models are wearing its design language. It claims the swoopy curves and forward styling of its heritage. Around back, the rear lights form a single, thin, light strip that sweeps completely across the bodywork topped off by a 3D Porsche logo — a signature, now standard, on all current Porsches. On the high-gloss, black 21-inch Porsche Exclusive wheels, the Cayenne gains an aggressive performance stance.

THE word Porsche (pronunciation: por-sho ) is synonymous with high-performance, exclusivity, and luxury. Therefore, the jet-setting confines of Sandals Aerodrome in Tinson Pen, Kingston, served as the perfect location for the launch of the 2019 Cayenne and the 2019 Macan.
“These cars are built as the ultimate standard. They’re performance SUVs (sports utility vehicles) and today we have almost a 100 Porsches on the roads in Jamaica,” Adam Stewart, deputy chairman of the Sandals/ATL Group of Companies, told the Jamaica Observer’s weekly Auto magazine. The Jamaica Observer is part of the ATL Group.
“Porsche is really the top of the food chain … Porsche operates under a philosophy of evolution, not revolution,” he continued.
THE thought of not being able to access the right parts and reliable service may prove a deterrent for many prospective car owners.
But Adam Stewart, deputy chairman of Sandals Resorts International and ATL Group of Companies, used last Saturday’s launch of the 2019 Porsche Cayenne and 2019 Porsche Macan to tell prospective and current owners that they had nothing to worry about in this regard.
