If I get rid of my Diesel, I am going to a regular gas burner. The last thing I would want is a hybrid Cayenne. You don't want to own it out of warranty. Why not just get an S? It would not be the choice for me.

because the idea of being able to commute both ways from work in all electric mode is appealing to me.

When I think about getting rid of my diesel, I remind myself that it is a daily driver, it has plenty of torque, and every car is a compromise. Comes down to it, we all like and want different things.

what’s so bad about the 2017 model? Everything I have read about it is positive so far. I have an opportunity to read my 2014 CD for the 2017 e hybrid for next to nothing.

Have you read the long thread on the hybrid? I haven't - but it probably didn't get that long with people just saying "Boy, my hybrid is great - nothing ever gives trouble.." and if your last sentence means you can "trade" your 2014 CD for a 2017 hybrid - doesn't THAT tell you something? The diesels had a short burst of popularity where prices were good on them, I suspect that has now faded away.

yes i have a good friend who owns a car lot. he owes me a favor. the hybrid thread has some useful info in it but nothing that's all that alarming... im just interested in peoples input, that's all. all cayenne generations had there own set of issues, was just curious if this particular model had any bank breaking flaws...

My friend had the hybrid cayenne and I have the diesel. He hated the hybrid and got rid of it. The range of all electric is very small and less if you get on the gas(according to him). Also he got way worse gas mileage then me with the diesel when not doing all electric mode. I guess if you have a short commute (15-20 miles each way) it may be doable and not cost you any gas. As for me I think the diesel cayennes are awesome and wish they were still making them. But to each their own. Ps he got rid of the hybrid and is much happier now.
