The new Porsche Cayenne electric revolutionizes the suspension and leaves rivals trembling

Porsche is in one of the most turbulent moments in its history. The poor decisions of the leaders in recent years have ended one of the best streaks of success, a path that will be very difficult to return to in the short and medium term, but the German brand wants to reverse it as soon as possible with a new Cayenne, which plays a leading role.

The solution is more than risky and just take a look at the behavior of the Taycan in the market, which went from being a star to a complete failure. No one wants the great sports sedan that, in just four years, surpassed the barrier of 100,000 units sold worldwide. And this new generation of the brand's best-selling SUV is already electric.

Porsche takes the suspension of the new Cayenne to a new level

A completely new model that will coexist with the old combustion Cayenne for a couple of years, the time expected for the new E4 generation with thermal engines and hybrid mechanics to arrive. But what is interesting about this new electric Cayenne is not its advanced interior, which has already been shown or that will be one of the first electric vehicles with wireless charging in the world.

Important innovations that add to a long list, and one stands out as truly interesting. This electric Cayenne features a active suspension system that does away with traditional stabilizer bars. As you are reading...

If rivals like Bentley have active stabilizers, capable of adapting to changes in the road in milliseconds, Porsche has raised the bar of comfort, more than it did with the latest version of the Panamera, minimizing body roll and also pitch.

Porsche got rid of the springs, now the stabilizers

For now, its operation is a secret that the brand has not revealed, but it has talked about the "Porsche Active Ride" system.

An option in all versions of the new Cayenne, except for the 1,000 HP Turbo, which is based on the damping system of the Panamera and the Taycan, so that each shock absorber is connected to an electro-hydraulic motor-pump unit that regulates the pressure of the hydraulic fluid.

These generate a force that is applied directly to the body, regardless of road conditions, taking full control. Of course, the shock absorbers of this electric Cayenne are different from those of the sedans, larger to offer greater off-road performance. A beast that, along with a high range, will make you think very seriously.
