Can the Porsche Cayenne Drive Off-Road?
The Porsche Cayenne is one of the most popular platforms on the automaker’s roster. Its performance profile and handling characteristics are distinctly Porsche, while also delivering a very comfortable and adaptable interior that is well-suited for busy lives. But what about those times when we can get away from it all and explore new locations? Can the Porsche Cayenne drive off-road? Yes, it can. While the current Cayenne can carve up roads like any Porsche roadster, the popular SUV model is well-equipped to get off the beaten path and get a little mud on the tires. Let’s take a closer look at some important information.
Reliable Off-Road Performance
New versions of the Porsche Cayenne have done away with the low-range gearbox that was found on the original generation, but the platform is still able to deliver the same off-road performance using more advanced electronic traction control systems. The decision to eliminate the heavy low-range gearbox was done to save weight and improve the vehicle’s overall handling profile.
“In the further development of the electronic control systems, we made a big step forward in terms of control quality and speed,” Oliver Laqua said, in a press release. “As a result, we were able to have the same off-road capability as the E1 in the new design of the E2 without a transfer case or a low-range gear, and we could therefore achieve a big weight saving.”
