Porsche Cayenne 9YA Coupe GTS Tiptronic S - Terrain

Is the Porsche Cayenne 9YA Coupe GTS Tiptronic S also suitable for off-road use? Here often a distinction is made between "soft-roaders" and real off-roaders. For real rough terrain it needs more than just an all-wheel drive. The SUV boom of the last 10 years has produced many vehicles that look off-road but have limited capability to do so.

The Porsche Cayenne has all-wheel drive, which means that the basic requirement is already met. Ground clearance, another important criterion, is 190 mm for this vehicle. This allows it to move forward even in hilly terrain and, for example, on muddy paths in the forest without sitting up, assuming all-wheel drive.

The integrated air suspension allows the chassis to be raised under certain circumstances, thus increasing ground clearance. The integrated 360-degree camera can also help you move forward on rough terrain and avoid damage.

Rating: The Porsche Cayenne has all-wheel drive as well as acceptable ground clearance. Occasional off-road excursions are no problem. However, it is not a real off-road vehicle.
