Suspension and control systems
Enhanced comfort and driving dynamics
The Porsche Cayenne has many strengths and its suspension is one of them. In the new Cayenne the developers have increased the spread between comfort and sportiness even further – in every variant: with steel suspension, Porsche Active Suspension Management or air suspension.

The engineers paid great attention to the details. Their extensive package of measures for all Cayenne models includes optimised suspension points that greatly contribute to enhancing comfort together with a new suspension configuration. For a more precise response there are new multi-part mounts on the transverse links of the front and rear axle and on the wheel mounts of the rear axle. The wheel suspension is now much more exact. The Cayenne's suspension is even more precise, sporty and at the same time more comfortable.

In the Cayenne the Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) is coordinated for interaction with the new Sport Chrono package and its extended functions, and for when the Sport Plus button is pressed. The three familiar PASM suspension programmes are now called Comfort, Sport and Sport Plus. The Cayenne S E-Hybrid comes with PASM as a standard feature, whilst the Cayenne Turbo additionally boasts air suspension.

The air suspension that is available as an option for all other models meets the Cayenne's high demands on premium comfort, outstanding driving dynamics and suitability for both off-road and everyday use. The level control system included with the air suspension offers a total of six different vehicle heights depending on the driving situation. The lowerable load sill is a new feature of the Cayenne: pressing a button in the luggage compartment lowers the loading level by 52 millimetres when the tailgate is open. The height of the load sill is then approximately 69 centimetres.

New aluminium wheels with a multi-spoke design in 18- to 21-inch format are now available for the Cayenne. They are all lightweight with an attractive and independent design. Highlights include the new 21-inch wheels in a 911 Turbo design and Cayenne Sport Classic design. Furthermore, a new generation of 21 inch summer tyres will be introduced - including the recently launched MICHELIN Latitude Sport 3. These tyres have been developed particularly for performance and sporty driving and due to the special rubber compound and the low tyre aspect ratio they offer the driver significant advantages, especially when cornering at high speed. To achieve this, the three basic components of the tyre have been modified: the rubber compound, the tread pattern and the casing design.
