Development of the chassis and suspension systems on the new Cayenne generation had the following goals in order to achieve typical Porsche driving performance:
- Maximum driving safety.
- Exceptional control.
- High level of driving pleasure and agility.
- Outstanding driving comfort and suitability for everyday driving.
- Outstanding traction.

To achieve these goals, the chassis and suspension systems have been adapted to suit the increased performance of the new Cayenne models and their features have been optimized further. For even greater performance and improved driving comfort, a new suspension system called Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC) is available.

The following chassis types based on this system are available for the new Cayenne models:
- Steel spring suspension (Cayenne and Cayenne S only).
- Air suspension with Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM).
- Air suspension with PASM and Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC).

To meet the high requirements with regard to the braking performance of a Porsche, all new Cayenne models have a brake system that is optimally designed to suit the relevant vehicle features. A higher performance turbo brake system is used, especially on the Cayenne Turbo.

All Cayenne models feature enhanced Porsche Stability Management (PSM). PSM improves active safety thanks to the following additional functions:
- Enhanced braking readiness.
- Brake assist function.
- Enhanced Trailer Stability Management.
- New ABS tuning for braking on unpaved surfaces.

The new Tire Pressure Monitoring system (TPM) generation is standard equipment for all Cayenne models in the North American market.
