2025 Porsche Panamera Active Ride High end suspension for E Hybrid models

Porsche is enhancing the driving experience of its Panamera E-Hybrid models with the introduction of a groundbreaking new suspension technology called Porsche Active Ride. This advanced system promises an unprecedented level of comfort and dynamic performance by integrating active two-valve shock absorbers and single-chamber air springs. Unlike conventional adaptive suspension systems, Porsche Active Ride actively and individually controls the damping forces at each wheel, responding instantly to road conditions and driver inputs.
The core innovation in Porsche Active Ride is its ability to adjust the dampers up to 13 times per second, using an electrically driven hydraulic pump that modulates volume flow in both the rebound and compression stages. This allows for precise control over the vehicle’s handling and stability, adapting seamlessly to both the contours of the road and the dynamics of the drive. Such capabilities enable the wheels to extend or compress actively, maintaining optimal contact with the road and enhancing passenger comfort by minimizing body movement over uneven surfaces.
One of the standout features of Porsche Active Ride is its elimination of traditional anti-roll bars. The active dampers themselves handle the task of electronic roll stabilization, further simplifying the system while reducing weight. This new setup replaces the older three-chamber air suspension system with a lighter, more efficient design, maintaining ride height dynamically to improve both aerodynamics and stability across varying loads.
Additional functionalities of the system include dynamic wheel load distribution, which optimizes traction by adjusting spring and damper settings in real-time based on driving conditions. The system also enhances cornering dynamics by tilting the body towards the inside of a turn, reducing the lateral forces felt by passengers, akin to riding on a banked curve.
Porsche’s commitment to both luxury and performance is evident in the Panamera’s new suspension system, setting a new benchmark in automotive engineering and reinforcing the brand’s reputation for delivering cutting-edge technology in its pursuit of the perfect driving experience.

If you can buy this vehicle, you can afford for repairs, when this suspension system fails.
