2020-2023 Porsche Cayenne Transmission Guidelines
The Porsche Cayenne 2020-2023 features a cutting-edge gearbox system that represents the peak of automotive engineering and performance. This gearbox redefines driving dynamics with a focus on seamless power delivery and efficiency, giving a blend of precision, reactivity, and refinement. The Cayenne’s gearbox increases the driving experience, setting new milestones in the field of luxury SUVs whether traversing urban streets or tackling difficult terrain.
Transmission
8-speed Tiptronic S
Thanks to a particularly wide ratio spread, the speed Tiptronic lowers fuel consumption and increases comfort and dynamic agility. The low engine speeds in the higher gears reduce the noise level inside the vehicle. The speed Tiptronic shifts gear automatically and adapts to your individual driving style.
New features include the extended AutoStart Stop function. This cuts the engine not only when the vehicle stops, but also if you are approaching traffic lights, for example.
- Coasting mode
- Coasting plug in hybride
Coasting (Available on Cayenne S E-Hybrid only)
OIther energy saving technologies include the ability to coast along in certain situations, such as when you take your foot off the accelerator pedal to reduce your speed slowly.
Porsche Traction Management (PTM) PTV comprises an active all wheel drive system with an electronically variable, mapcontrolled multi plate clutch, Automatic Brake Differential AB, and Anti lip Regulation A.
The electronically controlled multiplate clutch helps to ensure optimum distribution of force between the permanently driven rear axle and the front axle. The driving conditions are continuously monitored to enable the system to respond to a variety of situations. During cornering, the required level of engine torque is distributed to the front wheels to provide excellent lateral stability. The result perfect distribution of drive torque at all times.
PTV on the Cayenne Hybrid features a permanent all wheel drive system with self locking center differential. This provides a standard torque split of percent to the rear and percent to the front. If one of the wheels is about to lose grip, the self locking center differential transmits the torque to the axle, offering the highest level of traction. Variable distribution of engine torque to the rear wheels also enhances steering precision and driving dynamics.
Drive and chassis Chassis systems
A strong character is not so easily swayed. Chassis systems.
Steel-spring suspension1
The steel spring suspension meets high level requirements in terms of performance, driving pleasure, and off road capability. Consistent lightweight construction ensures improved driving dynamics, greater fuel economy, and enhanced comfort. In addition, the suspension setup has been further optimised to deliver a clear results greater comfort and sports performance. Typically Porsche.
Air suspension with Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM)2
A constant vehicle position thanks to air suspension including self leveling and ride height control with PA. The ground clearance can be adjusted using the rocker switch on the center console. And to make it easier to load the car, you can also select Loading Level using a button in the luggage compartment.
PTV is an electronic damping control system that actively and continuously adjusts the damping force on each wheel, based on road conditions and driving style. By means of a button on the center console, you can select one of three modes Comfort, Sport, or
Sport Plus. ensors record the body movements that accompany powerful acceleration, braking, and rapid cornering on uneven road surfaces. The control unit evaluates the driving conditions and modifies the damping force on each wheel in accordance with the selected mode. The result is threefold increased driving stability, more comfort, and improved performance.
Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC)
PDCC is an active anti roll system that anticipates and reduces lateral body movement when cornering. In addition, it minimizes lateral sway of the vehicle on rippled road surfaces.

- Highspeed cornering without PDCC
- Air suspension ride heights
- Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus PTV Plus
Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus
(PTV Plus)
PTV Plus is a system for enhancing driving dynamics and stability. operating in condunction with an electronically controlled rear differential lock, it works by varying the torque distribution to the rear wheels. depending on the steering angle and steering speed, accelerator pedal position, yaw rate and vehicle speed, PTV Plus optimises steering response and precision by selectively applying brake pressure to the left or right rear wheel.
