Performance
Porsche is moving into the future in a progressive and dynamic way. A specially defined pressure point on the accelerator pedal signals the switch between all-electric mode to driving powered by the combustion engine. The combustion engine is fired up when necessary or when the accelerator is depressed beyond the pressure point.
The electric motor provides an additional boost. In coasting mode, the combustion engine is decoupled and switched off, allowing the Cayenne S E-Hybrid to glide for some distance under its own momentum – for a significant reduction in fuel consumption without any compromise in terms of sports performance.

Air suspension with Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM)
A constant vehicle position thanks to air suspension including self-leveling and ride-height control with PASM. The ground clearance can be adjusted using the rocker switch on the center console. And to make it easier to load the car, you can also select Loading Level using a button in the luggage compartment.
PASM is an electronic damping control system that actively and continuously adjusts the damping force on each wheel, based on road conditions and driving style. By means of a button on the center console, you can select one of three modes: Comfort, SPORT or SPORT PLUS. Sensors record the body movements that accompany powerful acceleration, braking and rapid cornering on uneven road surfaces. The control unit evaluates the driving conditions and modifies the damping force on each wheel in accordance with the selected mode. The result is threefold: increased driving stability, more comfort and improved performance.
Off-road capability
Using the main off-road control on the center console, you can select one of up to three modes (depending on the model) for improving the off-road capability or revert the setting to normal road driving. In Off-road Mode 1, the maps for all relevant systems, e.g. ABS, are adapted to provide optimum traction. In addition, High Level 1 is selected on vehicles featuring air suspension with PASM. The air suspension can also be raised further to High Level II to increase the approach/departure angle and wading depth.
Off-road Mode 2 ensures even greater traction on difficult terrain* by fully locking the multi-plate clutch. The electronically controlled variable rear differential on the optional Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus)* is integrated within the all-wheel drive system and can be fully locked in Off-road Mode 3.
8-speed Tiptronic S
Thanks to a particularly wide ratio spread, the 8-speed Tiptronic S lowers fuel consumption – and increases comfort and dynamic agility. The low engine speeds in the higher gears reduce the noise level inside the vehicle. The 8-speed Tiptronic S shifts gear automatically and adapts to your individual driving style.
New features include the extended auto start/stop function. This cuts the engine not only when the vehicle stops, but also if you are approaching traffic lights, for example.
BOSE® Surround Sound-System
Featuring 9 amplifier channels, 14 loudspeakers, and a 200-watt active subwoofer, the system delivers a balanced acoustic pattern and a total output of 585 watts. Sources such as CDs and MP3s can be played, in a surround mode, at the push of a button. The result is a balanced, faithfully reproduced sound and a captivating 360-degree aural experience delivered to all four seat positions.
