General

The development team is expected to meet various requirements in developing the Cayenne, e.g. sporty vehicle handling, tough off-road mission and full suitability for everyday use with maximum driving safety. Through overall vehicle fine-tuning of the individual systems, such as axles, steering, tires, aerodynamics and drive design, very good vehicle handling features were implemented in both on-road and off-road operations with the following technical specifications:

^ Single-wheel suspension with steel springs using a large-base double control arm front axle and a multi-link rear axle (standard for Cayenne S)
^ Level adjustment system with full-supporting air suspension on both axles and electronically regulated shock absorbers (standard for Cayenne Turbo, optional for Cayenne and Cayenne S)
^ Tube-type stabilizers on front and rear axle or hydraulically disengageable off-road stabilizers (optional for all Cayenne models as part of Porsche Traction Management Plus)
^ Rack-and-pinion steering gear with hydraulic assistance or speed-dependent Servotronic steering assistance (optional)
^ Extensive range of wheels and tires, high-performance summer tires, winter tires, All Season tires and All Terrain tires.
^ Tire Pressure Monitoring - TPM (optional)
^ Operating brakes customized to suit driving dynamics
^ Porsche Stability Management (PSM)
^ Porsche Traction Management (PTM) or optional Advanced Off-Road technical package with PTM Plus.
