I-Porsche Cayenne entsha isizofika. Isizukulwane sesithathu se-SUV yokuqala yomkhiqizo sizokwaziwa kakade ngo-Agasti 29 futhi njenge-"appetizer" i-Porsche ikhiphe ifilimu emfushane (ekugcineni kwesihloko) esihambisa ohlelweni lokuhlola oluqinile iCayenne eyadlula kulo.
Siyazi ukuthi lezi zivivinyo zihlose ukuphushela umshini emikhawulweni, ukuqinisekisa ukuqina kwawo kwesikhathi esizayo. Izimo azikwazanga ukuhluka kakhulu. Kusukela emazingeni okushisa ashisayo eMpumalanga Ephakathi noma e-Death Valley e-US, kuya ekubhekaneni neqhwa, iqhwa namazinga okushisa angama-40 degrees ngaphansi kweziro eCanada. Ukuhlolwa kokuqina nokusebenza ku-asphalt ngokwemvelo kudlule kusekethe yase-Nürburgring noma iringi ye-Nardo e-Italy.
Ngisho nokuhlolwa kwangaphandle kwemigwaqo kwenziwa ezindaweni ezihlukene njengaseNingizimu Afrika naseNew Zealand. Futhi iziphatha kanjani iSUV esiminyaminya sasemadolobheni? Ayikho into efana nokukuyisa emadolobheni aseShayina aminyene. Sekukonke, ama-prototypes okuhlola aqede cishe amakhilomitha ayizigidi ezi-4.4.
I-Cayenne idizili ngaphansi kwengcindezi
Izinjini zePorsche Cayenne entsha azinaso isiqiniseko esisemthethweni, kodwa akunzima kakhulu ukubikezela ukuthi izosebenzisa amayunithi afanayo nePanamera. Kuhlelwe amayunithi amabili e-V6 – ane-turbos eyodwa nezimbili -, kanye ne-bi-turbo V8. Inguqulo ye-plug-in hybrid kufanele ibajoyine, ifakwe i-V6, futhi kucatshangwa ukuthi i-V8 ingase ithole impatho efanayo neye-Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid. I-Cayenne ene-680 hp? Kungenzeka.
Zonke izinjini ezishiwo zisebenzisa uphethiloli njengophethiloli. Ngokuqondene nezinjini zikadizili, isimo siyinkimbinkimbi. Njengoba kade sibika, u-Diesels awuzange ube nempilo elula kulezi zinyanga ezimbalwa ezedlule. Izinsolo zokuxhashazwa kokungcoliswa komoya cishe yibo bonke abakhiqizi, ukukhishwa kwegesi okungokoqobo okuphakeme kakhulu kunokusemthethweni, izinsongo zokuvinjelwa kokusatshalaliswa nokuqoqwa kokuvuselelwa kwesofthiwe kube yizindaba ezivamile ngesilinganiso esishaqisayo.
IPorsche - eyingxenye yeqembu leVolkswagen - nayo ayikaze ishiywe. I-Porsche Cayenne yamanje, ehlome nge-3.0 V6 TDI yomsuka we-Audi, bekusolisa futhi kubonakale sengathi inamadivayisi anqotshiwe. Umphumela waba ukuvinjelwa kwamuva nje kokuthengiswa kweCayenne Diesel entsha eSwitzerland naseJalimane. Endabeni yaseJalimane, uhlobo luphinde lwaphoqeleka ukuthi luqoqe cishe izinkulungwane ezingama-22 zaseCayenne ukuthola isibuyekezo sesoftware.
Ngokusho kwabakwaPorsche, e-Europe yinto engacabangeki ukuthi wonke amakhasimende eCayenne Diesel ashintshele enjinini kaphethroli, ngenxa yentengo kaphethiloli ekhona. ICayenne entsha izoba nezinjini zikaDiesel - inguqulo ebuyekeziwe ye-V6 kanye ne-V8. Zombili izinjini ziyaqhubeka nokuthuthukiswa ngabakwa-Audi futhi ngokuhamba kwesikhathi zijwayelane ne-German SUV, kodwa ukufika kwazo emakethe kufanele kubambezeleke kuze kube yilapho imvelo isiba ngcono… "engangcolisiwe".
Kusazobonakala ukuthi bazofika nini. Ukwembulwa komphakathi kwesizukulwane sesithathu iPorsche Cayenne kuzokwenzeka embukisweni wezimoto iFrankfurt Motor Show, ngakho ngaleso sikhathi kufanele sazi okwengeziwe hhayi nje kuphela uhlobo olusha, kodwa nangezinhlelo zesikhathi esizayo zeCayenne Diesel.
