Ground Clearance and Off-Roading Features for the 2025 Porsche Cayenne
Cayenne Ground Clearance Levels
Porsche Cayenne models with standard steel suspension give you a ground clearance of 8.3 inches. You can also upgrade to an adaptive air suspension, which lets you raise and lower the body of your Cayenne as needed. Ground clearance with the adaptive suspension ranges from 7.6 to 9.4 inches.
The Importance of Good Ground Clearance
You’ll need at least 8.5 inches of ground clearance to ride tough terrain. That gives you the space to safely clear rocks, hills, mud, and shallow streams. If you plan to hit the trails in your Cayenne, consider optimizing performance by adding the adaptive air suspension to maximize clearance when you need it.
Additional Cayenne Off-Roading Features
The Cayenne comes with standard all-wheel drive and active suspension management. All-wheel drive sends traction to the four wheels of your Cayenne simultaneously to improve road grip, helpful on rugged terrain and during inclement weather. Active suspension management adjusts to road conditions as you drive. The base engine delivers 348 horsepower and 368 pound-feet of torque. The Cayenne S provides 468 hp and 442 pound-feet of torque.
The top tier offers a twin-turbo V8 that gets 650 hp and 626 pound-feet of torque. Add the Off-Road Package for a second towing eye, rear axle and engine protection, and rock rails with skid plates. You’ll have an additional driver display that shows your steering, gradient, and tilt angles. Standalone adventure accessories for the Cayenne include front and rear stainless-steel skid plates, a trailer hitch, roof tent, bike rack, ski and snowboard holder, and night vision.

The Macan gives you ground clearance of 8 inches with the steel suspension and a max of 7.4 with adaptive suspension. With the compact Panamera, ground clearance tops out at 5.2 inches.
