Porsche Active Ride.
Equipped with the further developed adaptive air suspension as standard, the Panamera E-Hybrid models can also be fitted with the high-end Porsche Active Ride suspension, an active suspension system on all four wheels to increase both comfort and performance. In the shock absorbers on the air-spring suspension, wheel-specific tensile and compression forces can be generated as required, generating more support, compensating for any jolts that occur or increasing the sportiness. The result: an even greater balance between comfortable travel and sporty driving dynamics. Compensating for surface irregularities reduces vehicle body noise. If the active cornering dynamics function is activated, the vehicle leans towards the inside of the bend and reduces the lateral forces for the occupants. Acceleration and braking comfort can also be increased via a selection function which lowers or raises the vehicle on the front and rear axles during the respective driving situation, in order to reduce the longitudinal forces for the occupants. When driving dynamically, the wheel load transfer is offset by rolling and pitching movement compensation when braking, thereby enhancing performance. In the Sport Plus driving mode, the body is even lower than the level of the air springs during dynamic cornering and heavy braking, which means that wheel load changes are significantly reduced and the performance of the vehicle is further enhanced. The height adjustment increases ease of entry and exit by quickly raising and lowering the entire body when opening and closing the doors.
